How I work

Hello, I’m Cora.

I offer modern, down-to-earth therapy for Millennials, Gen. Z, and the LGBTQ+ community.  ​​

My specialisms

I'm experienced in helping people address stress, anxiety and depression; burnout and perfectionism; relationships, communication and boundaries; family challenges; low self-esteem and self-criticism; identity, life direction and meaning; bereavement, failure and loss; and gender, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD).  

I also often work with people who can't quite put a finger on what brings them to therapy, but they know something needs to change - perhaps they want to feel less stuck, to find more closeness in their relationships, or become more comfortable in their own skin. Sometimes, nothing in particular is 'wrong', but we know things could feel more 'right'. ​

Working with me

Whatever brings you to therapy, I work with you to help you make the changes you want for yourself. At your pace, we explore your past, present and future, always keeping your goals for therapy at the forefront of our focus. Together, we look to develop more clarity, awareness and understanding, so that you can find the right way forward for you.​

I’m an Integrative therapist, which means I don’t adhere to only one school of therapy - I blend ideas from diverse places into my work. I see therapy as somewhere we find fresh insight and different perspectives, and these new thoughts open up new possible ways forward for us. This can come from a variety of sources, so 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 bit extra

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.

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.
