Essential Information for Your Private Practice Website


You're ready to get a website for your private practice. Where should you begin? Whether you're building the website yourself or hiring a professional to create it for you, continue reading to discover the elements to include on your private practice website to draw in more clients and expand your practice.


In the past three years, I have assisted numerous counsellors and therapists in bringing their websites to life. With experience from various perspectives—as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, a Wix website designer, and a therapy client myself—I recognise the significance of having an outstanding website. It should draw in new clients, allow them to learn about you and your services, and instill trust in you and your work.


By the way, if you need help deciding whether to hire a professional or build your website yourself, check out my previous post to make a decision: Choosing the Right Path for Your Private Practice Website: DIY or Professional Designer?


Whether you build your own website or hire a professional, you will get to the point of having to decide which information you want to add to your website.


Empathy is Key


Before you begin, put yourself into the shoes of your clients. What do they need? What emotional state are they in? How will they make a decision whether to work with you or someone else?


What would you like to know when searching for a therapist? What information is important to you, and which isn't?


Take a moment to answer these questions for yourself; they will guide you on your journey.


The Power of Authenticity


Researching other therapists' websites can be tempting. However, remember that you are unique. Clients are drawn to you and want to work with you. So, what aspects of yourself should be highlighted on your website? What sets you apart? What does the "ideal client" look like to you? Who do you want to work with? Embrace your individuality and let your personality shine.


Essential Information You Should Not Overlook


Here is a basic outline of the essential information that should be included on your website. Use the writing prompts for each page to develop the content. Having these four pages on your site will be sufficient to begin and supply your clients with the necessary information.


Did you know? Your Therapy Website offers website design for counsellors and therapists for £395 (excl. hosting and domain) for a website including 4 pages (for example: home, about, services, contact). I take care of the technical setup, development, and design; you simply send me the information you want to display, and I will do the rest. Get in touch to discuss your individual website.
