Onebright

What Onebright does

Onebright is a UK-based private outpatient mental healthcare company headquartered in York with offices in London, operating across the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company was formed in 2021 through the merger of three mental health providers — CBT Clinics (founded 2006), Efficacy and Moving Minds — bringing together a combined clinical network of more than 3,000 clinicians delivering services in 49 languages across approximately 3,000 UK therapy venues. In October 2023, the company acquired Psicon Ltd, a neurodevelopmental assessment provider specialising in paediatric and adult autism and ADHD assessments with extensive NHS collaboration.

The company's product platform spans psychological therapies (CBT, EMDR, counselling and psychotherapy), psychiatric assessments and treatment, neurodevelopmental assessments (ADHD, autism), corporate employer mental health services including a Fast Track employee pathway with two working-day access, mental health training (more than 80 modules), and workplace mental health consultancy. Service delivery combines online channels (virtual therapy rooms, partner and clinician portals) with face-to-face sessions. The company operates a hybrid GTM model: direct-to-consumer booking via website and phone, enterprise sales to corporate employers, channel partnerships with major UK private medical insurers (Aviva, AXA Health, WPA, Bupa), and NHS/healthcare professional referrals.

Onebright is a private company backed by EMK Capital, reporting 464 direct employees as at April 2025 (79% female) on top of its contracted clinician network. Revenue is generated through subscription/recurring employer contracts, insurance-funded clinical claims, NHS-funded assessments, private-pay individuals, and consultancy/training engagements. The company reports serving 60,000+ people annually across 200+ UK businesses and claims a 97% return-to-functioning rate versus an IAPT benchmark of 45-55%. Certifications include Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, BSI and ISO 27001-aligned controls.
