    Discovery

    Mapped the local search landscape for EMDR therapy in Manchester and identified the keyword gaps the previous presence wasn't capturing.

  2. 02Phase 2
    Design & Build

    Created a calm, professional website that balances clinical authority with warmth — designed to convert first-time visitors into enquiries.

  3. 03Phase 3

For your practice

Your website should do this job for you, too.

A therapy website is the moment a nervous person decides whether to get in touch. Everything in this project is how we build every site: calm design, plain language, booking a tap away, and pages mapped to the searches your clients actually make. That is true whether you are a solo practitioner, a group practice or a training provider.

/01
Built around how clients search

Each page targets the terms your ideal clients type, so the site brings enquiries rather than just receiving them.

Trauma-informed by default

Low-stimulus design, no pop-up pressure, accessible contrast, and every page reviewed against BACP, UKCP and HCPC guidance.

Never your problem again

Hosting, backups, updates and small changes handled for you, so the site keeps pace with your practice.
