Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from counsellors in Gloucester every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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.
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.
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.
No clear first step for anxious potential clients
People considering counselling need a gentle, clear path to getting in touch. If your website makes it complicated, they'll put it off — possibly indefinitely.
