Web design for psychologists and therapy practices
For many people, searching for a psychologist online is already a difficult step. The site needs to communicate reassurance and confidentiality from the first second — without feeling cold or overly clinical.
The problem
The challenges specific to a therapy practice website
- 01A delicate first contact — the contact form or first-session request needs to be simple and reassuring, not an added obstacle
- 02Perceived confidentiality — visitors need to feel safe before they even write, a trust factor specific to this sector
- 03Clear areas of practice — anxiety, eating disorders, couples therapy: segmenting by area captures more specific, targeted searches
- 04A careful tone of voice — neither overly clinical nor commercial, a balance that needs as much attention in the copy as in the design

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does the build take?
A therapy practice site typically takes 4-6 weeks from briefing to launch.
Does the site genuinely convey confidentiality?
Design, copy and the contact form are built together to communicate safety from the first second — it’s not an afterthought, it’s part of the design from the start.
Can I update the content myself after delivery?
It depends on the platform chosen for the project — I evaluate that case by case based on the site’s needs and your preferences for managing it, and we discuss it clearly before starting.
