First Meeting — Website design for therapists

First MeetingWebsite Design

For therapists, by a therapist.

It starts before the therapy room.

By the time a client contacts you, they’ve already met you — read your words, seen your photo, sensed whether they’d feel safe with you. That meeting begins on your website. Because I’m a therapist myself, I appreciate what that page is carrying: what therapy with you is like, and what a client needs before they contact you.

A therapy website that sounds like you.

Potential clients often arrive at a difficult time — uncertain, cautious, and a little raw. Within seconds, they begin to sense whether you might be someone they could talk to and trust.

That judgement is made through both design and tone: the words, the photograph, the spacing, the colour, the feeling of the page.

That’s why we start with a proper conversation about how you work, who you’re for, and how you want to come across — not a template. Then, as a practising psychotherapist myself, I design and write a site that is specific to you — not generic or interchangeable.

The design carries the words, and the words carry a sense of you. We’ll talk through the feel you’re after — warm and inviting, calm and spacious, grounded and quiet — and I’ll build around that: considered typography, a palette with warmth and humanity, and the careful details that make a site feel crafted rather than assembled.

Every site is hand-built and fully yours. And because we’re part of the same professional world, I understand the language, the sensitivities, and what a potential client may be looking for before they reach out.

The result is a website that feels human, trustworthy and true to the way you work — so that by the time a client first contacts you, they already have a feel for who you are.
