Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in Barry every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
People in need choosing another counsellor
People pick the counsellor who feels most approachable online. If your presence doesn't convey warmth, they contact someone else.
Not showing up in local counselling searches
People searching for help pick from the first results. If you're not visible, you can't help them.
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.
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.
