Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in Newmarket every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Potential clients don't know you offer their specialism
You might specialise in anxiety, grief, or couples therapy — but if your Google listing doesn't say so, people searching for those terms won't find you.
Your website doesn't feel safe or welcoming
Anxious people need a warm, inviting website. A dated or clinical site adds another barrier to reaching out.
GP referrals going to whoever shows up first
When a GP suggests counselling, the patient Googles it. The counsellor with the best website and reviews gets the call.
Your BACP accreditation isn't visible enough
Accreditation matters enormously in counselling. If it's not prominently displayed on your website and Google listing, you're missing a key trust signal.
