Therapist and Counsellor Web Design

Web Design for Therapists and Counsellors, From £695

The person reading your website is not shopping around. They are working out whether to ask for help at all. That changes what the site needs to do.

Who Is Actually Reading It

Somebody who has probably been thinking about this for months. Often reading late at night, usually on a phone, and quite possibly hoping nobody walks in. They are not comparing suppliers. They are working up to sending one difficult message. The website’s whole job is to make that slightly easier than it felt five minutes ago, and most therapy websites accidentally make it harder.
Put your fees on the page. Not knowing what something costs makes an anxious person more anxious, and they will usually leave rather than ask. Say what a first session is like. Where they sit, how long it lasts, whether they have to talk about anything in particular. Unknowns are the barrier. Be clear who you work with, and who you do not. Saving somebody a wasted enquiry is a kindness, not a lost lead.
Keep the enquiry small. A form demanding a phone number and a reason for contact is a lot to fill in when you are already struggling. Name, email, and a box is plenty. Say what happens to that message. An enquiry to a therapist is sensitive by definition. One plain line about who reads it and where it goes does more for trust than any amount of design. Show your registration. BACP, UKCP, NCPS or whoever you are with. It matters more to a nervous reader than a nicely written biography.
And no stock photography of somebody gazing thoughtfully out of a rain-streaked window. Everybody has seen it, nobody believes it, and a plain photograph of your actual room does considerably more.

Tim Griffiths

A calm, uncluttered site that explains the work clearly and makes getting in touch feel straightforward rather than daunting. Written plainly and structured so people searching locally for that kind of help actually find it.
“Chris has been a godsend for my business. He has guided and encouraged me in taking my business to the next level. A consummate professional within his field.”

£695 To Build, £35 a Month To Look After

Five pages covers a private practice comfortably. Home, about you, how you work, fees, and contact. Live in under a week, and you can edit it yourself afterwards. Then hosting, business email on your own domain, weekly updates and backups twice a day for £35 a month. Business email matters more here than most places, because a professional address reassures people that a personal one does not. I take the same view on my own site, which is why there is a plainly written privacy policy and no tracking cookies. I will set yours up the same way.

Therapist Web Design Questions

I would, and most therapists who do say the enquiries get better rather than fewer. Somebody who leaves because of the price was never going to book. Somebody who leaves because they could not find the price might have.
Yes, if it is done thoughtfully. Keep it short, do not demand a phone number, and say plainly underneath who reads it and where it goes. Enquiries to a therapist are sensitive by their nature and the form should acknowledge that rather than behave like a sales funnel.
Worth taking seriously. Anything somebody tells you in an enquiry is personal data, and often health related, which carries extra weight under UK data protection law. I will set your site up with a clear privacy policy, a form that only collects what you need, and privacy-friendly analytics that do not track anybody. What you do with the message afterwards is your professional territory rather than mine.
Yes, and many therapists write better than I do about their own work. If you would rather not stare at a blank page, I will draft something and you tell me what is wrong with it. It stays in your voice either way.
Usually yes, and it is worth thinking about carefully. Some people find booking a slot far easier than sending a message. Others want a conversation first. A number of practices offer both, and that is often the right answer.
Yes. Coaches, psychologists, hypnotherapists, private practices of most kinds. The person arriving at the site is in a similar frame of mind whatever is written above the door.
