Your Website Should Be Working as Hard as You Do
Most therapists have one of two website problems. Either they don’t have a website at all — which means potential clients simply can’t find them online. Or they have one built by a generalist designer who didn’t understand the therapy world, filled with the wrong language, the wrong tone, and a structure that fails to convert visitors into enquiries.
A therapy website isn’t like a website for a restaurant or a solicitor. The language needs to feel safe, not clinical. The structure needs to build trust quickly. The calls to action need to feel like an invitation, not a sales pitch. Getting this right requires someone who understands both web design and the therapeutic context.
That’s a rare combination — and it’s exactly what I offer.
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR YOUR WEBSITE
With an MSc in Clinical Psychology majoring in Counselling and Therapy, I understand your profession in a way a generalist web designer simply won’t.
I know the language that resonates with someone considering therapy for the first time. I understand the ethical boundaries around how mental health services should be presented. I know what builds trust — and what inadvertently undermines it.
The result is a website that feels genuinely right for your practice, not just technically correct.
What Makes a Great Therapy Website?
A beautiful design is the starting point, not the goal. The real measure of a therapy website is whether it turns visitors into enquiries — and enquiries into clients. Here’s what that requires:
🤝
Trust From the First Impression
Someone considering therapy is often in a vulnerable place. Your website needs to feel calm, safe and professional within seconds of landing — before they’ve read a word.
💬
The Right Language
Therapy websites fail when they use overly clinical or overly sales-focused language. The tone needs to be warm, human and reassuring — and knowing the difference takes genuine understanding of the field.
📱
Mobile-First Design
Over 60% of people searching for a therapist do so on their phone. Every website I build is designed mobile-first and tested across devices and browsers before handover.
🔍
Built for Google
SEO is built into every website from the ground up — not bolted on as an afterthought. Page structure, title tags, meta descriptions, site speed and image optimisation are all handled as standard.
📋
Clear Calls to Action
Knowing where to place contact forms, how to word booking prompts, and how to reduce the friction of that first enquiry is a craft. Conversion optimisation is central to every design decision.
⚙️
Easy for You to Manage
WordPress and Divi give you a website you can update yourself without needing a developer. Adding a blog post, updating your availability or changing a photo takes minutes — not a support ticket.

Regardless of which package you choose, every website I build comes with the same core foundations — because there are no shortcuts worth taking when it’s your professional reputation on the line.

Website Packages
I offer three website packages to suit different stages of practice — from a clean, professional starting point to a comprehensive multi-page site. All packages include everything listed above. Get in touch for a quote tailored to your specific needs.
Single-Page Website
The ideal starting point for a new practice or a therapist wanting a professional online presence without complexity. Everything a potential client needs to find you and get in touch, on a single well-designed page.
— One beautifully structured page
— About, services & contact sections
— Mobile-responsive & SEO-ready
— Contact form integrated
— 1 year’s hosting included
Multi-Page Website
A full professional website with dedicated pages for each area of your practice. More space to build trust, explain your approach, showcase your specialisms, and rank for multiple search terms on Google.
— Up to 5 pages (Home, About, Services, Blog, Contact)
— Individual pages per therapy speciality
— Blog section for ongoing content
— Enhanced SEO structure
— 1 year’s hosting included
Website Redesign
Already have a website that isn’t performing — or one that no longer reflects the quality of your practice? I’ll redesign it from the ground up, preserving what works and transforming what doesn’t.
— Full audit of existing site
— Redesign to current best practices
— SEO review & improvement
— Content migration included
— 1 year’s hosting included
Exceptional Quality at a Fair Price
One of the most common frustrations I hear from therapists is the cost of professional web design. Large UK agencies charge thousands for websites that are often templated, built by junior staff, and handed over with little ongoing support.
My pricing is significantly lower than a typical UK web design agency — without compromising on quality, care, or expertise.
As a specialist working directly with therapists rather than running a large team, my overheads are lower and my focus is sharper. You’re working with me directly — not being passed between account managers and developers you’ve never spoken to.
Designed With Your Professional Ethics in Mind
Web designers without a background in mental health often make choices that feel subtly wrong on therapy websites — even if they can’t articulate why. Overly promotional language. Testimonials that reveal too much. Before-and-after framing. Urgency tactics that feel exploitative in a mental health context.
My MSc in Clinical Psychology changes how I design
I understand the BACP, UKCP and BPS ethical frameworks. I know how to present your services in a way that is honest, reassuring and appropriate — without inadvertently undermining your professional credibility or making potential clients feel pressured.
Every design decision, from the copy tone to the structure of your contact form, is made with both your professional standards and your client’s wellbeing in mind.
How the Process Works
From first conversation to a live website, here’s what to expect:
1
Free Discovery Chat
We start with a relaxed 20-minute conversation about your practice, what you’re looking for, and what you want your website to achieve. No obligation — just a conversation.
2
Proposal & Quote
I’ll send you a clear proposal outlining the recommended package, what’s included, the timeline, and the cost — all in plain English with no small print surprises.
3
Design & Build
Once you’re happy to proceed, I get to work. You’ll be kept informed throughout, with opportunities to review and feed back before anything is finalised.
4
Review & Refinement
You’ll see your website before it goes live. We work through any changes together until you’re completely happy — this is your professional home on the internet, and it needs to feel right.
5
Launch & Handover
Your site goes live. I’ll walk you through how to manage it yourself, submit it to Google, and make sure everything is working perfectly. And I’ll be here for the long term as your practice grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a therapy website?
Most projects are completed within 2–4 weeks from the point we agree to proceed. The timeline depends on the complexity of the package and how quickly content is provided. I’ll give you a clear timeline as part of your proposal.
Do I need to provide my own content and photos?
Ideally yes — your own words and a professional headshot make a significant difference to how your website performs. That said, I can advise on what content is needed, help you write or refine your copy, and source appropriate licensed imagery if professional photography isn’t possible.
What happens after the first year of hosting?
After the first year, hosting is renewed at cost — typically a very reasonable annual fee. I’ll always give you advance notice before any renewals are due, and there are never any surprise charges.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes — WordPress and Divi are designed to be managed by non-technical users. I provide hands-on CMS training as part of every handover, so you can update your content, add blog posts, or change your availability without needing to call a developer.
Can you help with SEO after the website is built?
Absolutely. Every website comes with on-site SEO built in as standard. If you want to go further with an ongoing SEO strategy, I offer a dedicated SEO service for therapists that builds on the foundations of your new site.
I already have a website — can you improve it rather than rebuild it?
Yes. My website redesign package is specifically for therapists who have an existing site that isn’t working as well as it should. I’ll audit what you have, identify what’s holding it back, and redesign it with all the same foundations as a new build.
Do you work with therapists outside the UK?
Yes — I work with therapists and counsellors internationally, particularly those based in English-speaking countries or offering online therapy to English-speaking clients. Get in touch to discuss your specific situation.
