Marketing for therapists.
Helping the right clients find your practice — trauma-informed websites, professional SEO and content that translates EMDR, somatic and neuro-affirming work into the search terms clients actually use.
Marketing for therapists is different from marketing for any other business: your clients are often in distress when they find you, your professional body regulates what you may say, and trust is the entire product. Everything on this page — and everything we build — starts from those three facts.
If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone.
Invisible on search
Clients are searching for 'flashback help' or 'help with trauma loops' — your site talks about bilateral stimulation. The translation gap loses you clients every week.
Websites that don't convert
Visitors arrive, read a paragraph, and leave. The path from clinical credentials to a booked first session is too long.
Marketing that you hate doing
You'd rather hold sessions than write LinkedIn posts. So your marketing slides down the list, week after week.

What marketing for therapists involves — in the order it pays off.
Not every practice needs every channel, and the sequence matters more than the spend. This is the order we'd build it in for almost any UK therapy practice — each piece explained honestly, including when to skip it.
A website built to be found and booked
The foundation everything else sends people to. Trauma-informed design, clinical-intent SEO, pricing on the page, and booking within three clicks of anywhere.
Web design for therapy practices →Google Business Profile & local search
Most therapy is bought locally, and AI-generated local answers draw from the map results. A complete, active profile frequently outperforms the website itself for 'near me' searches.
Our Google Business Profile guide →Directories, kept properly
Counselling Directory, Psychology Today, your professional body's register. Practices listed across several directories consistently report more enquiries than those relying on one.
Where directories fit in the mix →Content that answers real questions
Pages written in the words clients type — 'help with flashbacks', not 'bilateral stimulation'. This is also what earns citations in AI search, which now answers many of these questions directly.
How AI search changes content →Social media — trust, not reach
Optional, and only worth doing consistently or not at all. For therapists it builds familiarity and referrals far more than direct bookings, which changes what 'good' looks like.
Ethical social media management →Email — your warmest audience
Past clients, unconverted enquiries, workshop attendees. A quiet monthly note outperforms chasing strangers, and it's the channel no algorithm can take away.
Email marketing for practices →Video — connection at a distance
A two-minute introduction video answers the question every prospective client has — 'what will this person be like?' — before they've sent a word.
Video production & recording days →Paid ads — last, deliberately
Ads amplify a system that already converts; they can't fix one that doesn't. Right for filling training cohorts and intensives on a deadline, wasteful before the foundations exist.
When Meta ads make sense →Three stages, three different plans.
Newly qualified
Don't buy everything. A simple site or single page, a complete Google Business Profile and properly-written directory listings will carry your first year. Spend one-off, not monthly, until there's a caseload to fund it.
Established, but quiet
Usually a visibility problem, not a quality problem. Fix the website's search foundations and booking route first, then add one channel — done consistently — rather than three done sporadically.
Full, and growing
A waiting list is an asset: email keeps it warm, content builds the specialism you want to be known for, and video or training-day filming turns your expertise into reach. This is when retainers earn their keep.
