A little about us
Digital experiences for mental health professionals. We design, build, and rank websites exclusively for wellness practices so you can focus on care.
Let’s build something meaningful
Website design / United Kingdom
A UK therapy site is judged before anyone reads a word: whether the registration is visible, whether the fee is stated, and whether the form asks for more than it needs. Therapist website design UK work comes down to the same questions: which BACP, UKCP or BABCP credentials to show, what the ICO and PECR require behind a form, which pages clients look for, and what a directory profile cannot do. We work with practices in both markets; this is the UK half.

The brief
A UK therapy website has to do three jobs at once: say who you are and what you are registered to do, let a cautious person make contact without exposing more than they need to, and make the practicalities — fee, location, availability — readable without a phone call.
People usually arrive from a directory listing or a search for what is worrying them. The first screen should confirm the specialism, the place or online, and the body you are registered with.
Assume a phone and very little patience: large tap targets, short paragraphs, real contrast. A site that hides its fee behind a form reads as evasive. The page-by-page list is in the therapist website checklist.
Registration
Name the body you are registered with, in the words that body uses, on the page a client lands on — and keep the same wording on your directory profiles, invoices and footer.
Counselling and psychotherapy are not protected titles in the UK, so a register entry is the clearest signal a client has that you answer to someone other than yourself. Put it under your name, not only in a footer.
BACP lists registered members and a separate accredited status; UKCP lists registered psychotherapists; BABCP accredits CBT therapists. These are not interchangeable, and anyone who has used a directory will notice an upgraded status. Use the status you hold; if you are in training, say so.
Use the artwork your body supplies and drop the mark if membership lapses. Keep the same name, status and number on the site, the directories and your consent form.
Data and consent
An enquiry form needs a lawful basis, a privacy notice that names who controls the data and what happens to it, and no pre-ticked consent — while PECR separately governs the cookies and marketing messages that follow.
Ask for as little as possible: a name, an email address, and a phone number only if you will use it. Do not ask for a diagnosis or history in a public form; that is special category data under the UK GDPR, and it belongs in a system you have assessed.
Link the notice at the point of collection, not only in the footer. PECR is the other half: analytics and marketing cookies need a real choice, and a banner whose only button says accept is not one.
A US-based plugin is not automatically off limits, but know the transfer arrangement, retention settings and sub-processors, and check the ICO's fee test.
This is not legal advice: check your own arrangements with your professional body or a data protection adviser.
Practicalities
UK clients look for four things before they enquire: the fee, whether you are insured, where you work, and what happens after they press send.
A fee page is a filter, not a negotiation. Give the session length, the fee, the cancellation window, how to pay and whether a reduced rate exists, then link it from every page. In person, add a location page; online, name the platform.
Say that you hold professional indemnity insurance and who it covers — you, or the practice and its associates. Do not publish policy numbers. If a private medical insurer recognises you, name it; if you are on no panel, say nothing rather than implying otherwise.
Write the contact page last and honestly: how quickly you reply, what you will ask, and what you will not do by email. The page-by-page version is in the checklist.
Directories
A directory profile rents you an audience for as long as you pay for it, while your own site is the only place where your fees, policies and availability can sit without a competitor's listing beside them.
The three UK routes do different jobs. Counselling Directory is a subscription listing with enquiries routed through the platform. Psychology Today UK is a similar listing with a different audience. The BACP register is trust infrastructure first and marketing second. Check terms with each, because all three change them.
What each surface is actually for
| Directory profile | Your own site | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Be found by someone browsing a category | Answer the questions a ready client asks |
| Who controls the wording | The platform's template and limits | You, page by page |
| Fees and policies | A line of text, or a link out | A full fee and cancellation page |
| Where enquiries land | The platform's inbox, then your email | Your own form and your own records |
| Who controls the data | Shared with the platform — read their terms | You, under your own privacy notice |
| If you stop paying | The profile disappears | The site stays yours |
The two work together: use the profile to be found and the site to answer what it cannot. Keep one enquiry route, so messages land in the same place.
The fee
Our three tiers are $290 for Solo, $470 for Practice and $620 for Group as one-time build fees in US dollars — roughly £230, £370 and £490 at the November 2026 rate we quote against.
Solo
≈ £230 approximate
A solo therapist opening or restarting a practice.
Practice
≈ £370 approximate
An established practice that needs to be found.
Group
≈ £490 approximate
A clinic with several clinicians and obligations.
We bill in US dollars for every client, so the figure on the quote is the figure on the invoice. The GBP lines are approximate, converted in November 2026 at roughly £1 = $1.27. The full breakdown is in the therapist website cost guide.
Not included, and quoted separately: the domain (roughly £10–£20 a year), the $29 monthly care plan, photography, extra pages at $40 each and copy at $30 a page. Nothing starts until the page list, the fee and the schedule are agreed in writing. Every line is on the pricing page.
Questions
UK therapy website questions we are asked
Five answers on registration, testimonials and data. The main FAQ covers process and launch.
No. Accreditation is a professional status, not a website requirement, and the site’s job is to describe the status you hold. Say whether you are registered, accredited or in training, using your body’s own wording, and never imply a level you have not reached.
Only within your body’s ethical framework and with consent that covers publication. Anonymised feedback about the experience of therapy is safer than a clinical case study, and no quote should identify a client. Check your body’s advertising guidance first.
Usually yes. PECR consent applies to cookies that are not strictly necessary, and analytics is generally treated as non-essential, so a banner offering a real choice, including refusal, is the safer position. Check the ICO’s guidance for your setup.
You can, but you are still the controller. Know where the data is stored, what the transfer arrangement is, and what the processor’s terms say about retention and sub-processors. A compliance page is not a substitute for checking the contract.
State the position accurately and briefly. Practices that process personal data electronically are generally expected to pay the ICO data protection fee unless exempt, so confirm your status and never publish a number you do not hold. The ICO’s exemption checker is the place to start.
