About Holly Forde

Holly Forde holds the NCPS credential, a recognised counselling accreditation that reflects formal training and professional standards. She has supported people in a variety of settings, including work with the charity Mind, private practice, and a part-time role within the NHS as a Renal Counsellor, where she supports patients living with chronic kidney disease.

Her clinical experience includes helping clients manage stress and anxiety, cope with chronic illness, process grief, address relationship difficulties, and rebuild motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also works with depression and the everyday challenges that can make it hard to move forward.

Holly aims to establish an open, nonjudgmental space where a trusting therapeutic relationship can grow. In that environment she and her clients explore thoughts and feelings together and identify practical tools and approaches tailored to each person’s needs.

She recognises that taking the first step is often the hardest and views reaching out as a sign of hope. Holly looks forward to working with clients to help them develop strategies to better cope with life’s challenges and to find ways to move forward.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for people seeking support.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their life best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety can make it easier to keep appointments and build consistency in therapy.

Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients are free to request a different therapist at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy is a practical and accessible way to work on mental health and well-being with trained therapists.
