More about Holly
- 3 years' experience

- NCPS
I am a MNCPS Accredited Counsellor, having attained my BA (Hons) In Integrative Counselling. My previous body of work includes working with clients through the charity Mind, working in private practice, and currently, I hold a part time position within the NHS as a Renal Counsellor, supporting patients living with chronic kidney disease.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, living with chronic illness, grief, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression.
My aim is to work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where we can build a safe and trusting relationship in which clients can share and explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Often the first step is the hardest, you have reached our for support which, to me, speaks of some hope that things can get better. I really hope I can support you in your journey and that we can discover the tools and techniques that will work for you to move forward and better cope with the challenges that life so often throws us.
I look forward to working with you

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Holly is phenomenal, my life has really turned around! In a short amont of time, my life has improved so much since we have our sessions. I would never believe how much I achieved if I told my past self! Thank you so much Holly!
This is my first experience of therapy, and I was a little nervous of how it would be. Holly has made me feel so supported and safe in sharing my thoughts and feelings. She never pushes me to share something I’m not comfortable with, and always replies quickly. She genuinely cares and listens.
Holly is so kind and insightful and is happy for me to take things at a speed appropriate to me. I’m brand new to therapy and feel very lucky to have been matched with someone so supportive. It is very validating that she checks in between sessions and I really feel like she cares about my well-being.
Holly is amazing, in such a short amount of time, she has really helped me! I couldn’t have done it without her. She is very attentive and provides me with techniques which are suitable and comfortable for me! I apply them to real life and it is so beneficial! Thank you Holly for everything! I really appreciate it!
Communication with Holly has been brilliant. She really understands what I would like to work on. I feel well matched to her.
Holly Forde is talking with me just via messaging for now, and that's all I want and need for now. I'm still getting used to sharing my thoughts and feelings and I really appreciate her being there, and that she will respond eventually.
Holly has been absolutely fantastic. I have only had two booked sessions with her but I really feel I have found someone that genuinely wants to help me and understands what I’m going through. Nothing seems silly to Holly and she is fully there to listen and support!
I have only had a few sessions with Holly so far, but she has been extremely helpful already. She is always responsive and is always willing to be flexible to make sure she can make time convenient for me. She has suggested many helpful exercises that have helped me understand my thoughts better and i look forward to having more sessions with her
