Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in Exeter 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.
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.
What We Do for Counsellors
Four things that work together to bring you a steady stream of enquiries and calls — week after week.
Professional Website
A fast, mobile-friendly website with your phone number, enquiry form, and reviews front and centre. Built to turn visitors into calls.
Google Maps
We optimise your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack when people search for your trade locally.
More Reviews
An automated system that asks your customers for a Google review after every job. More reviews means more trust and higher rankings.
Local Services Ads
Google puts your business at the top of search with your reviews and a Google Verified badge. You only pay when someone actually calls.
What Makes Exeter Unique for Counsellors
From St Thomas, Heavitree, Topsham, Pinhoe and beyond, Exeter properties range from Medieval core, Georgian and Victorian terraces, post-war rebuilding after Baedeker raids, modern estates. Medieval cathedral city core, post-war city centre rebuilding, Victorian suburbs intact. Whether you are based in the EX postcode area or serve the wider region, a strong online presence is essential.
Local demand for counsellors in Exeter centres on anxiety and depression, relationship issues, bereavement support. Enquiries tend to peak in January and Autumn, though adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or workplace stress need help throughout the year. Being registered with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), UKCP builds trust, but visibility is what fills the diary.
Exeter has around 25-50 counsellors competing for the same pool of customers. Most have either no website or one that does not rank. That is the gap we fill: a site that gets found, a profile that builds trust, and a system that makes sure no call goes unanswered.
