Websites for Counsellors and Therapists

Few websites carry as much weight as a counsellor's. The person reading it is often anxious, comparing carefully, and deciding whether to trust you with something difficult before you have exchanged a word. We know this sector well: Lindow Counselling, Silk Counselling, DC Counselling and Psychotherapy, Manchester Counselling and Lumi Counselling all run on websites we built and support. No other kind of business appears in our portfolio five times over.

What a counselling website has to do

It has to feel calm and safe, before anything else. Warm imagery, unhurried copy and a clear photograph of you matter more here than in any trade, because the client is choosing a person, not a service. It has to explain plainly what you help with, how sessions work, what they cost and what happens after the first contact, because uncertainty is exactly what your clients have too much of already. And it has to make that first step small: a gentle contact form or an email address, not a hard-sell booking funnel.

Being found without depending on directories

Many therapists rely entirely on the big counselling directories. They bring enquiries, but you are one profile among dozens, competing on the directory's terms. Your own website ranks for your own searches, your town and your specialisms included, and every enquiry it brings is yours alone. SEO foundations come as standard on every site we build, and our monthly SEO service can push further when you want your practice to lead the local results.

Professional and personal, in balance

Your professional memberships and qualifications belong on the site, stated accurately, because careful clients check. So do your specialisms, your approach and your practical details: location, remote sessions, accessibility, fees policy. We help you strike the balance between professional credibility and human warmth, and everything is written so you can edit it yourself later as your practice evolves; full CMS access is included.

What it costs

Our pay monthly model suits practices of every size: from £39 a month with no upfront cost, including hosting, SSL, daily backups, CMS access, SEO foundations and support from the same team that built the site. Most counselling websites suit the Starter package; practices that want articles and ongoing marketing step up to Growth.

Common questions from counsellors

Can the website support online sessions?

Yes. We link cleanly to whichever video platform you use and make remote availability clear to clients searching for online therapy.

I am not technical at all. Is that a problem?

Not remotely. Most of our counselling clients simply send us their content and photographs; we handle everything technical, at launch and afterwards.

Can it grow as my practice does?

Yes. Start with a simple site and add specialism pages, articles or a second practitioner later. The platform and support stay the same throughout.

Browse our work, see our pay monthly packages, then get in touch and tell us about your business. Most websites are live within a few weeks.
