Cora Hilton

Hello, I'm Cora. I specialise in helping Millennials, Gen. Z, and members of the queer community navigate the challenges of modern life. Frequent topics that arise in my therapy room include anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, relationships, self-esteem, identity, bereavement & LGBTQ+ issues. I also often work with people who can't quite put a finger on what brings them to therapy, but know something needs to change. Sometimes, nothing in particular is 'wrong', but we know things could feel more 'right'. ​ How I work: It isn't always easy to feel comfortable in yourself, or in your life. In therapy, we work together to help you cultivate the change you want, so that you can start to feel more at home in your own skin. At your pace, we'll look to understand the challenges you're facing, and to identify how to break away from old patterns and make different choices. Together, we can figure out what's missing from your life, and learn how to make it fit you better. I’m an Integrative therapist, which means I don’t adhere to only one school of therapy - instead, I blend ideas from diverse sources into my work. While my work is heavily influenced by a background in philosophy, languages and literature, I’m also very interested in what we can learn from pop culture and the everyday world around us. There is always space in my therapy room to talk about the new thing you read, watched, played or listened to that really spoke to you - even truly terrible reality TV can sometimes provide a window into ourselves, in the most surprising ways. A little extra information about me: I'm an Accredited member of the BACP, and have been in private practice since 2018. Prior to this, I saw clients at agencies providing therapy for loss, and for stress, depression and anxiety. My client base focuses on people from the Millennial, Gen Z and/or queer+ communities. I have particular experience of working with people in creative, tech and legal careers, and an interest in working with people with a background in competitive sport. In addition to my client work, I write about various aspects of therapy. Alongside writing and contributing to articles exploring challenges specifically faced by my client base, I have my own Substack and blog, ‘The PsychGeist’. ‘The PsychGeist’ is about the intersection between pop culture and therapy, and what we can learn from where the two meet. Recent topics include Wayward, The White Lotus, Glow Up, and reality TV show gem The Ultimatum: Queer Love. I'm sometimes joined in sessions by my calico cat Rizzo, who fortunately adheres to the same confidentiality standards that I do. corahiltontherapy.com
