Digital Marketing for Therapists and Coaches
You help people move forward.
I help the right people find you, trust you, and choose you.
As a brand and website growth consultant, I'm not here to sell you expensive retainers or pitch massive ad spends that keep you awake at night.
My method is simple: I help you define who you are and what you do, find your ideal clients, and create website experiences that turn sceptical visitors into bookings.

Two Pathways to Business Growth: Choose Yours
Ethical Marketing for Therapists
Ethical, compliance-first marketing that makes you feel good about putting your website out there.
I take a holistic look at your website, directory profiles, and market position, then create a strategy that delivers the growth you want.
This work focuses on bringing potential clients to your website, instead of expensive advertising or exhausting social media posting.
Website Growth for Coaches
Years of experience, skills, and a passion for change made coaching seem like the perfect next step in your career. The problem? Others had the same idea.
Whether you’re a life or business coach, there’s competition everywhere you turn. Generic marketing strategies don’t cut it.
Working with me means getting real about where you’re at and what needs to change
Some COACHES AND THERAPISTS I've Worked With
Grow Your Therapy Practice.
You’re great at what you do…so why isn’t your website bringing in clients?
Here’s something I’ve learned from 10 years of working with therapists: being good at what you do doesn’t automatically translate into a full client list.
Whether you’re struggling to attract website visitors, are heavily reliant on your Counselling Directory and Psychology Today profiles, or can’t seem to turn website traffic into clients, I’ll work with you to identify the issue and create a strategy that supports growth.
01
Brand Positioning & Practice Differentiation
Let me ask you something: why should a potential client choose you over another therapist with similar qualifications who offers the same level of support?
If your answer involves your passion, commitment to confidentiality, or pricing, then you’ve got a positioning and differentiation problem – and yes, therapists and counsellors are brands.
I’ll review your directory profiles, website, audience, and competitors, and find gaps and opportunities for you to fill and own.
02
Website Strategy & Organic Visibility
If most of your website visits come from directories, your SEO strategy may not be pulling its weight.
I don’t just focus on getting you found in Google and AI searches; I review your website structure, identify opportunities to add new pages, and develop a content strategy that builds trust with your ideal clients.
Each strategy is built for you, but it might include website content strategy, SEO, local SEO, AI SEO, and website restructuring.
03
Website Copywriting & Conversion Optimisation
Help potential clients feel comfortable taking that first step.
Your website needs to build trust without pressuring people into making decisions.
I’ll review how you communicate your services, how visitors navigate your website, and whether anything makes it harder for them to enquire.
My website copywriting services for therapists and counsellors include service page messaging, user journeys, calls to action and conversion optimisation.

Grow Your Coaching Business.
The coaching market is crowded, but you don’t have to blend in.
You’ve got the experience, skills and ambition…but so do thousands of other coaches.
If your website sounds like everyone else’s, your expertise isn’t coming across, or you’re struggling to attract the clients you really want to work with, something needs to change.
I’ll help you pinpoint where your business sits in the market, what makes it worth choosing and how to turn those strengths into sustainable website growth.
01
Brand Strategy, Positioning & Differentiation
Sick of competing with coaches who all seem to be selling the same thing? Transformation, results, clarity, passion – all words that your dream clients are used to seeing and hearing.
That’s why your coaching business needs a brand strategy, positioning, and differentiation. I get to grips with your market, competitors, audience and existing brand to identify opportunities to build a space that you can confidently own.
My branding services for coaches include reconfiguring who you’re targeting, restructuring your coaching offers, developing a signature approach or changing how you communicate your expertise.
02
Website Growth & Content Strategy
Social media platforms are high-volume, high-effort investments for coaches, and it rarely pays off.
When you have a website that gets found online, builds trust with your target audience, and makes people think, “OK, this is for me”, you don’t need to turn yourself into an Instagram or TikTok influencer.
Every website is different, and I approach growth the same way. Working with me means you get a full content strategy and implementation based on your needs.
This includes SEO, website content strategy, information architecture, service page optimisation, keyword opportunities and AI search visibility.
03
Website Messaging & Conversion Optimisation
Copywriting for coaches should make your expertise easier to understand and easier to buy into.
If your coaching website leaves potential clients wondering what you actually do, who you help or why your services are worth investing in, you’re missing out on valuable bookings.
I’ll identify gaps in your messaging, website experience and enquiry journey, then help you turn those insightI’ll help you pinpoint where your business sits in the market, what makes it worth choosing and how to turn those strengths into sustainable website growth.

You might have been burned by a coaching or therapist marketing agency before, where you were treated like just another client in a massive roster. Or maybe you’ve heard too many false promises.
I don’t believe in selling services you don’t need.
As a Brand & Website Growth Consultant, I connect the dots between your position in the market, your website, your visibility and your ability to attract clients.
Sometimes that means developing your brand positioning from the ground up. Sometimes it’s restructuring your website, improving search visibility or fixing the reasons visitors aren’t enquiring.
And sometimes, it’s all of the above.
The starting point is understanding what’s holding you back, then creating a practical plan to move forward.
I Don’t Do Generic Marketing.
And You Shouldn’t Pay for It.

Client Feedback
Some nice words from my clients
I highly recommend Hannah for SEO. Her work is always on time, thorough and meets the brief exceptionally well. She is a pleasure to work with.

Hannah helped me enormously with the SEO for my website, and clearly explained what was and wasn’t working. She was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, put in so much hard work and attention to detail, and made everything feel much less overwhelming. I really appreciated how knowledgeable, supportive, and professional she was, and I’ve seen a real improvement thanks to her advice and work.

NEXT STEPS
Ready to reach the clients who need you most?
Whether you need a full website audit, clearer messaging, or support filling your client roster, let’s have an honest, zero-pressure conversation about what will make the biggest impact for your practice.
Or reach me directly:
What Is the Best Way to Market a Therapy Practice?
The best approach depends on your specialisms, target clients and what you're trying to achieve. For many therapists, a combination of local SEO, a well-structured website and clear brand positioning can help attract suitable clients without relying on paid advertising or constant social media activity.
I focus on identifying what's holding your practice back and creating a sustainable strategy that fits your professional values.
How Can I Get More Therapy Clients Without Social Media?
Social media should play a part in your therapist marketing strategy, but you don’t need to become an Instagram influencer to grow your practice.
SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, relevant directory listings and a website that clearly communicates your services can all help potential clients discover you.
The key is making sure your practice appears where people are already looking for support, and that your website gives them the information they need to make an enquiry.
Do Therapists and Counsellors Really Need Branding?
Absolutely, but branding isn’t just choosing colours and fonts. Strategic brand positioning defines how you communicate your therapeutic approach, what makes your practice distinctive and how potential clients perceive you.
Brand positioning helps you communicate those strengths clearly, so your practice doesn't get lost among dozens of websites offering seemingly identical services.
While agencies are separate entities, I become an extension of your team – without the full-time salary and paperwork. Bring me in when you need me, with no tie-ins or minimum terms.
What Is SEO for Therapists and Counsellors?
SEO for therapists and counsellors involves improving your website's visibility in search engines so potential clients can find your services.
This might include targeting relevant therapy specialisms, improving local search visibility, optimising service pages and making your website easier for search engines to understand.
My approach also considers how your website communicates your expertise and turns relevant traffic into enquiries.
Please see my pricing page for more information.
How Do I Market My Coaching Business in a Competitive Industry?
Start by identifying what makes your coaching different. That could be your professional background, the clients you work with, your approach or the particular challenges you help people overcome.
From there, you can build a clearer brand position and website strategy that communicates your value and helps potential clients discover your services.
Rather than chasing every marketing trend, I focus on finding the opportunities that make sense for your coaching business.
What Is Brand Positioning for Coaches?
Brand positioning defines where your coaching business fits in the market and why your ideal clients should choose you over other providers.
It involves understanding your audience, analysing competitors, identifying your strengths and developing messaging that communicates your value.
For coaches, effective positioning can help you move beyond generic promises and build a more distinctive, credible presence.
Results come from consistent, strategic work. Not empty promises.
