Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in Ripon every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Clients trust you but don't leave reviews
A practice with 25 reviews looks infinitely more trustworthy than one with 2. Clients will review when asked gently.
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.
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.
