What clients look for on a counsellor or therapist website
A visitor may be anxious and reading late at night on a phone. They are looking for someone who feels safe to contact.
Who you help
The people and concerns you work with, in plain words, and what you do not take on.
How you work
What a first session is like, how long it lasts, whether it is in person or online, and what happens next.
Your training and register
Your qualifications and the register or body you belong to, with the details for a visitor to check.
Fees and practicalities
Session length, fee, cancellation terms and where you are, so there are no surprises.
A low-pressure first step
A short form or a call-back request that asks only what you need.
Rules your therapist website should follow
Titles and treatment claims are where therapist websites most often go wrong.
| The rule | What it means for your site |
|---|---|
| The HCPC says counsellor, psychotherapist and therapist are not protected titles. Nine psychologist titles are, such as counselling psychologist. | Use a protected title only if you hold it. Say what you trained in instead. |
| CAP guidance says claims to treat must be backed by solid evidence. Claims about serious conditions such as depression need suitably qualified medical supervision. | Describe what you offer and who it is for. Do not promise to treat a condition. |
| CAP guidance says words like “cure” and “heal” read as treatment claims. | I do not use those words in headlines or copy unless you can meet the guidance. |
| The Professional Standards Authority keeps a list of accredited registers. | Check your register is on it before you show an accreditation mark. |
This is not advice on what you may claim. Read the guidance and check with your own body.
Features for a counselling website
Features are built to your quote. Booking, payment and client tools stay with the ones you already use, linked or embedded and scoped in your quote.
A page for each kind of work
Individual, couples, young people or online sessions each get their own short page.
Photos that fit
Your own portrait and a photo of your room, if you want to show it, rather than stock images of strangers.
Booking and payment
Clients book and pay through the tool you already use, from your own pages.
A client portal link
A login link to your notes, forms or video tool. The portal stays with that tool.
A contact form with care
A form that says what you do with a message and warns that it is not for emergencies. The wording is yours.
Your own site or a directory profile?
Counselling Directory and Psychology Today profiles are useful, and your own site can sit beside them. Wix suits a therapist who wants to build alone.
| Your own site | Directory profile | |
|---|---|---|
| Who controls it | You do. You keep your domain and files. | The directory sets the profile format. |
| Your wording | As long as you like, on your own pages. | Within the profile fields and limits. |
| Findable by name | Your own address, with your own title. | On the directory’s pages. |
| Built by | Me, from your quote. | You fill in a profile. |

What a therapist or counsellor should prepare
A list in a message is enough.
Who you work with
The people and concerns you work with, and what you refer on.
Your training
Qualifications and the register or body you belong to, with the details to show.
Your sessions
Length, fee, place or online, and your cancellation terms.
A photo of you
One you are comfortable with, and one of your room if you want it shown.
Your booking tool
The booking, payment or video tool you use, so I can link to it.
Questions therapists and counsellors ask
How much does website design for therapists cost?
Monthly plans start from £29.99 a month with nothing upfront. To pay once, one page is £199 and up to 5 pages is £399. Up to 8 pages is from £699. All prices include VAT. Your site usually goes live within 10 working days of you approving the free preview and sending your words and photos.
Do I need a website if I’m on Counselling Directory?
A profile and your own site do different jobs. The directory sets the profile format. Your own site holds your wording, your fees and your address, and you can link it from the profile.
Can clients book and pay sessions online?
Yes, through the booking and payment tool you already use. Linking it to your site is scoped in your quote.
Can I call myself a therapist or counsellor on my site?
The HCPC says counsellor, psychotherapist and therapist are not protected titles. Nine psychologist titles are protected, such as counselling psychologist. Use a protected title only if you hold it.
What can I say about treating anxiety or depression?
CAP guidance says claims to treat must be backed by solid evidence, and claims about serious conditions such as depression need suitably qualified medical supervision. Read the guidance and check with your own body.
Should I use photos of myself or stock photos?
Your own photo usually builds more trust than a stock image of a stranger. I use the photos you send me and have the right to share.
