About me
Hello, I'm Cora. I offer modern, down-to-earth therapy for Millennials, Gen. Z, and the LGBTQ+ community.
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, or more at home within their relationships, or more comfortable in their own skin. Sometimes, nothing in particular is 'wrong', but we know things could feel more 'right'.
How I work
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, so I use ideas from lots of places in my work - including from beyond the world of therapy theory. I see therapy as a place to find fresh insight and different perspectives, as new ideas open up new possible ways forward for us. This can come from all sorts of places, and 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.
I also run a blog, in which I write about pop culture from a therapist's perspective (spoiler alert: I'm the therapist). You can find the blog on my website.
I'm sometimes joined in sessions by my calico cat Rizzo, who fortunately adheres to the same confidentiality standards as I do.
If you feel that I may be a good fit with what you're looking for, you're welcome to get in touch - send me an email, and we can take it from there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working in my private practice since December 2018. My client base is almost entirely made up of people identifying within the Gen Y, Gen Z and/or LGBTQ+ 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.
Prior to starting my private practice, I saw clients at agencies dedicated to therapy for loss, and for stress, depression and anxiety.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
My fees are on a sliding scale between £65 and £85 per 50-minute session. You choose your own rate within this sliding scale.
Our first meeting is a chance for us to discuss any questions you may have and to see whether we might work well together, so there is a reduced fee of £60 for this appointment.
I also offer low-cost appointments, so you're very welcome to get in touch if you'd like to ask me about these.
I respond to every email I receive, so please check your spam folder if you're waiting to hear from me.
