Cora Hilton (Online)

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

I find it's hard to write about therapy without it sounding…well, like a lot of therapy-speak. And that isn't ideal, since it makes it harder for you - the reader - to find someone that feels like a real person, rather than TherapyGPT. So, I’ll do my best to avoid the cliches, and try to give you something more concrete to work with.

I offer practical, down-to-earth therapy that gets modern life. I've been working with Millennials and Gen Z since I opened my private practice at the end of 2018, which in real terms means I've been here with you in the trenches since before Lana Del Rey dropped her Norman Rockwell album. I'm proud to have spent these years working with people with all sorts of diverse lived experience - and as the Lana reference may have hinted, I also have particular experience working with queer stories.

About Me

Originally from Bristol, I moved to New Zealand aged 16, returning to London for university. I studied French, so had a year abroad in France, navigating consuming a lot of bread in between many strikes. Post uni, I briefly worked in Film and TV, before joining a start-up in the wine industry. Prior to starting my private practice, I saw clients at agencies dedicated to bereavement and stress, depression and anxiety. After 17 years in London, I moved back to Bristol in 2024, to be reunited with my West Country comrades.

As an Integrative therapist, I bring ideas from lots of different places into my work, beyond just the world of therapy theory. 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.
