Web design, strategy & copy for mental health professionals
Websites for therapists, by a therapist.
A website that sounds like your sessions.
Listen, Understand, Find the words, Give them form
Before the first session
Your website is already saying something about what it’s like to talk to you.
People looking for therapy compare specialities, prices and credentials. But they’re also reading for something harder to compare.
Will you understand me? Could I tell you this? What would it feel like to sit across from you?
Your website can’t answer those questions for them. But your words can give them something real to decide with.
They also need to know what happens next: how to contact you, and what happens after they do. Clarity makes the first step easier.
It’s not about selling therapy.It’s about helping the right person recognise whether this is a place for them.
Will they understand me?
Show, don’t claimWhat a website says,
What a website says,
and what it could say instead.
What most websites sayI offer a safe, non-judgmental space.
What we might find instead“You don’t need to know where to start.”
What most websites sayI provide individualised, client-centred care.
What we might find instead“In the first session, I’ll ask more questions than usual.”
What most websites saySupport through life transitions.
What we might find instead“You don’t need to have your life figured out before we talk.”
None of these are clever. They’re specific. Someone can read them and picture what it would be like to sit with you.
PortfolioDifferent practices.
Different practices.
Different ways to feel.
The same words shouldn’t work for everyone. Neither should the same website. Here’s what changed when I started with the practice instead of the design.
Your website comes before the first session.
Before someone knows whether they’ll feel comfortable with you, they notice how you speak to them. What you explain. What you don’t assume. How easy you make the next step. The first step with me is a short enquiry: tell me a little about your practice.
