Online therapy that helps you move forward
Life can feel like a lot to handle, and knowing where to turn can be confusing. Private online therapy gives you the flexibility to explore what’s going on in a safe, private space — and discover the path forward. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, therapy can help you break free and start moving towards what really matters, at your own pace, from the comfort of home.
At Forward Therapy, we specialise in OCD, anxiety disorders, and life transitions. But that’s not all, we also support you through a wide range of other challenges, from grief and low self-esteem to stress and burnout.
Our expert team combines cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) to create a personalised approach that fits your unique needs and goals.

Our main counselling approaches
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify, challenge, and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is the most researched form of therapy and considered the gold standard for treating many mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and OCD.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
ACT is a modern, evidence-based therapy that developed from cognitive-behavioural therapy. It helps individuals accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values. Rather than avoiding distress, it encourages openness and flexibility.
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT)
CFT is a therapeutic approach that helps people develop self-compassion and reduce self-criticism. It draws on insights from evolutionary psychology and was created for people who struggle with shame, self-blame, or a harsh inner voice. By fostering a more caring and balanced mindset, it can support emotional wellbeing.
