Cora Hilton

I specialise in helping Millennials, Gen. Z, and members of the queer community navigate modern life.

Life right now is a lot. I offer practical, down-to-earth therapy that gets what it’s like trying to hold it all together today. Finding happiness, stability and hope while so much feels out of control is tough – and although therapy alone can't fix the world, it can help you build your own solid ground within it.

Therapy is a space to work out what needs to change, and to start making it happen. Sessions with me are an active, collaborative conversation: you take the lead on what you want to explore, and I help us make sense of what we find. We'll bring clarity to what’s felt confusing, ask the big questions that open new doors, and help you find new ways forward that feel right for you. Together, we’ll figure out how to make your life genuinely feel like yours.

About Me

Originally from Bristol, I moved to New Zealand aged 16, returning to London for uni. I studied French, so had a year abroad in France, consuming a lot of bread in between many strikes (Vive la grève!). Post uni, I briefly worked in Film&TV, before joining a start-up in the wine industry. I started my private practice in 2018, after seeing clients at agencies dedicated to bereavement and stress, depression and anxiety during my training. After 17 years in London, I moved back to Bristol in 2024.

As an Integrative therapist, I bring ideas from lots of different places into my work. My experience with languages, literature and philosophy ensures these are frequent presences in my therapy room. Also, as a classic Millennial, I am very interested in pop culture, and firmly believe that even truly terrible reality TV can provide a window into ourselves, in the most surprising ways (it’s not only dusty old therapy tomes that house the big ideas). Consequently, sessions with me are just as likely to include ideas from Aristotle and Simone de Beauvoir as they are Mean Girls or The Traitors. 

My specialisms

I’m experienced at working with a wide range of contemporary challenges, including:

anxiety and depression / burnout and perfectionism / relationships, communication and boundaries / family challenges / self-esteem and self-criticism / identity, life direction and meaning / bereavement, failure and loss / LGBTQ+ issues and gender, sex and relationship diversity (GSRD) / parenting and queer parenting experiences / career and workplace difficulties / loneliness, feeling lost, and feeling stuck.

I also work with lots of people who struggle to express what exactly brings them to therapy, but know that something needs to change - sometimes, nothing in particular is 'wrong', but we know things could feel more 'right'.

A little extra

I’m an Accredited member of the BACP, and over nearly a decade in this field, I've worked with all sorts of folk exploring all sorts of challenges. There are some commonalities in who often finds me: I have particular experience of working with creatives, people with a background of high achieving and perfectionism, people in high-pressured careers (including the legal and tech industries), and people navigating IVF and queer parenting journeys.

Outside of sessions, I run a Substack and a blog, in which I write about the intersection between pop culture and therapy, and what we can learn from where the two meet. I also still consume a lot of bread (keeping up that Gallic dream), and play weekly football (not well) with my beloved team, who kindly tolerate my very idiosyncratic on-pitch style.

I’m sometimes joined in sessions by my calico cat Rizzo, who fortunately adheres to the same confidentiality standards that I do.​

Fee information

My fees are on a sliding scale between £65 and £80 per 50-minute session. Within this scale, you choose your own rate.

I offer a reduced fee of £60 for an initial appointment.

I also offer low-cost appointments.

If you'd like to get in touch with me, the best way to do so is via email. I will aim to respond to you by the end of the next working day. I respond to every email I receive, so please check your spam folder if you're waiting to hear from me.

When getting in touch, there is nothing particular that you need to tell me about you - you can say whatever you feel comfortable saying. It would be helpful if you could let me know what your availability for sessions with me would be, so that I can see whether I am able to offer you an initial session at a suitable time and date.

An initial session is a chance for us to speak a little about what's going on for you at the moment; to explore any questions you have about therapy; and to get a gauge on whether we might be a good fit with what you're looking for. I offer a reduced fee of £60 for this appointment.

My practice is exclusively online, so all my sessions take place on Zoom.
