Websites for therapists and health practices.
// counselling · therapy · physio · chiropractic · podiatry · nutrition
// free first draft · sites from £600 · hosting £25/mo
Nobody picks a therapist the way they pick a takeaway. They read the whole site, twice, usually late at night, and they are deciding one thing: whether they could sit in a room with you. A directory listing cannot answer that, and neither can a page of stock photographs of somebody else's hands.
So the site is built to be read rather than sold from. Your words, your qualifications, your fees stated plainly, and a way to make contact that does not require a phone call from somebody who is not ready to make one. It loads instantly, it works on a phone in bed, and it leaves no trace on anyone else's servers. From £600, with most practice sites coming in around £800.
What a practice site has to do
Sound like you, not like a brochure
The deciding factor is tone. Your own words about how you work, what a first session is like, and who you tend to see. I will help you shape them, and I will not fill the gaps with the usual language about journeys and empowerment.
Put the fee on the page
Not knowing the price is a reason to close the tab, and for a lot of people asking is the hardest part. A clear fee, session length, and whether you offer a reduced rate or a free first call. It filters your enquiries as well as answering theirs.
Make the first contact easy and quiet
A short form that goes straight to you, not a phone number as the only option. Say when you reply and who reads it. That one sentence converts more nervous visitors than any amount of design.
Carry the credentials properly
BACP, UKCP, NCPS, HCPC, CSP, insurance, supervision, DBS. The registrations a careful client checks, laid out where they can find them, with your registration number and a link to the register.
Be private by design
No chat widget selling your visitors to a third party, no tracking pixels, no forms that store an enquiry in somebody else's dashboard. On a mental-health site that is not a nicety, and it is one of the reasons I build these the way I do.

Built for businesses like yours.
Sites built for therapists and health practices around here. Yours would start the same way: a chat, whatever you've already got, and a working draft within days.
// questions
The questions therapists and health practices ask first.
- I already pay for a directory listing. Is that not enough?
- A directory puts you in a list next to everyone else, and it charges you monthly to stay there. Your own site is where somebody goes after they have found you, to decide. Most therapists keep the listing for a while and find the site is what the enquiries actually mention.
- Do I have to write it all myself?
- No. Send me what you already have, even if it is a paragraph on a directory profile and a few notes, and we will talk it through. I draft, you correct. It is your voice that has to survive, so nothing goes live until it sounds like you said it.
- I do not want clients tracked. Can the site do that?
- Yes, and it is the default. Static sites carry no plugins and no third-party scripts unless you ask for them, so nothing about a visitor leaves the page. If you want visitor numbers, the cookieless counting I use gives you them without following anybody.
Wherever you are: the towns I work in, and everywhere in between.
