What’s in each

Meet me first

Before you read any further

It's easier to judge whether you'd want to work with someone by watching them talk for a minute than by reading what they wrote about themselves.

About 90 seconds, once it's up.

A short introduction is being filmed. It’ll be here shortly.

Who this is for

You already know you need one.

  • You're in private practice, and most of your enquiries come from a directory listing that looks like everyone else's.
  • You've been meaning to sort your website out for a while, and it keeps sliding down the list.
  • You'd rather spend the time with clients than working out what a nameserver is.
  • You'd like the diary to be steadier than it is.

If two of those landed, this is probably for you.

What you get

Everything a small practice actually needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

    A contact form that works

    Enquiries land in your inbox with the detail you need to reply.

  • 03

    Right on every screen

    A handover, in plain English

    Thirty minutes showing you anything you'll ever need to touch.

How it works, step by step

Why me

I’m an engineer who trained in counselling. I’ve done my Level 2 and Level 3, I’m finishing my hypnotherapy diploma, and I build websites for the profession I’m part of.

Which means you won’t spend the first half of our conversation explaining what supervision is, or why you can’t put client testimonials on your website.

There’s a longer version, if you want it

Who you’re working with

Two people look at your site before you do.

One builds it. The other reads it the way the person you’re trying to reach will.

    Founder and builder

    I build every site myself. I'm an engineer by trade who trained in counselling — Level 2 and 3 complete, hypnotherapy diploma finishing now — which means you won't spend the first half of our conversation explaining your world to me.

    Counsellor Website Advisor

    A practising counsellor who reviews every site independently before it reaches the person who commissioned it.

    They're not checking the code or the design. They're reading it the way a prospective client would — someone who has been putting off making contact for months and has finally opened the page.

    • Tone and warmth
    • Whether it earns trust
    • Clarity for an anxious reader
    • The experience of a first-time visitor
    • Whether it feels right for someone seeking counselling

    I’m bringing a practising counsellor into this role now. Until they’re in place I do this review myself, and I’ll tell you which of the two you got.

What counsellors say

The first few are being recorded now.

A counsellor is recording the first video testimonial. It’ll be here once it’s done.

I’d rather show you nothing than something I made up.

Until there are real ones, ask me on a call and I’ll put you in touch with someone I’ve built for.

The three people always ask

Fair questions.

All 12 questions

Is £199 really the full price?

Yes, for the six-page site described on the pricing page. There's no setup fee and nothing hidden.

If you want more than six pages, or booking and payments built in, I'll quote for that separately and you'll see the number before any work starts.

What is the £19 a month for?

Hosting, the security certificate, software updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and up to half an hour of changes each month.

It's cancellable with 30 days' notice, and the site is yours whether you take it or not.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The site and the domain are in your name. If you decide to leave, you take it with you and I'll help you move it.

Shall we have a chat?

Give me a ring. No charge, no pitch — if a website isn't the right thing for you right now, I'll tell you.
