A lot of therapists I speak to feel quietly frustrated with their website.

Maybe it’s outdated. Maybe it’s something thrown together on Wix that never quite looked right. Maybe it was built years ago by someone who’s now impossible to get hold of.

Or perhaps you don’t have a website at all. Word of mouth has been fine — until now.

Here’s the thing: potential clients are searching online for a therapist near them every single day. They open Google, type in what they’re looking for, and click on the results that feel right. If your website isn’t there, or doesn’t make the right first impression, they move on.

Those are real enquiries and
real people who need help going elsewhere.

This isn’t a criticism. Building a private practice takes everything you’ve got. Most practitioners simply don’t have the time, the budget, or the confidence with technology to know what their website should be doing.

That’s exactly why I put this checklist together.

I’m Richard Thorne. I’ve been building websites for therapists and counsellors across the UK since 2019. I know what works and what doesn’t — and I’ve learned that most therapy websites are missing a handful of key things. Once those things are in place, the difference is noticeable.

The Website Checklist for Therapists and Counsellors

This free checklist covers everything your therapy website needs to be doing across six key areas.
Work through it in about 20 minutes and you’ll have a clear picture of what’s working, what’s missing, and where to focus first.

First impressions — does your site make the right one within the first few seconds?
Essential pages — are you missing anything that’s quietly costing you enquiries?
Building trust — what a potential client needs to see before they pick up the phone
Getting found on Google — the basics that make a real difference to your local visibility
The client journey — making it easy for someone to take that first step
Legal and technical essentials — the behind-the-scenes things that protect you and your clients

It’s completely free. No tech knowledge needed.

Testimonials

“He didn’t blind me with ‘techy’ details or try and push me to spend more than I could afford.”
— Kerry

“My past experiences with website developers have been people who are just interested in taking an annual fee at inflated prices. Richard is the complete opposite — he keeps an eye on my website and is always on hand to update it.”
— Anna Soulis, Counsellor
