Hello, I’m Cora.
I specialise in helping Millennials, Gen. Z, and members of the queer community navigate modern life.
Since opening my private practice in 2018, I’ve worked with a 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; and loneliness, feeling lost, and feeling stuck.
Working with me
I offer modern, down-to-earth therapy that starts from a place of understanding how difficult life today can be - it’s not easy trying to find happiness, stability and hope while the world is also on fire. In therapy, we work together to help you reach solid ground, amid the tide of uncertainty. At your pace, we’ll look to make sense of the challenges you’re facing, and to find new ways forward that bring you more choice, authenticity, and fulfilment. Together, we’ll work out how to make your life feel like yours.
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 spoke to you - even truly terrible reality TV can sometimes provide a window into ourselves, in the most surprising ways.
A bit extra
I’m an Accredited member of the BACP, and have been working in this field for almost a decade. Prior to starting my private practice in 2018, I saw clients at agencies specialising in therapy for bereavement, and for stress, depression and anxiety.
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.
I’m sometimes joined in sessions by my calico cat Rizzo, who fortunately adheres to the same confidentiality standards that I do.
