Best Wix alternative
Therapist Website Studio is our Wix alternative for UK counsellors and therapists—a bespoke practice site with fees and credentials in HTML and structured data, not a drag-and-drop template you finish alone.
Wix remains a capable way to publish a first therapy page quickly; we are not here to talk you off it when fees, services and enquiry are already clear in text. When you want a therapy-only build—page map decided with you, crawlable HTML, JSON-LD beside visible copy, and Managed hosting after launch—Therapist Website Studio is the alternative we offer at published UK prices on the pricing page.
Example bespoke sites
Morrow Lane shows the studio layout: separate counselling routes and fees in plain text. It is not a Wix site or a ranking claim.

Space to work through what matters
Individual counselling in Manchester, and online across the UK. Anxiety, grief, and what is hard to put into words.
Anxiety
£70
50 minutes
For worry that is taking up the week. We stay with it, rather than rushing you towards a fix.
Grief
£70
50 minutes
For a death, or another loss. There is no date by which you should feel better.
Online sessions
£70
50 minutes
The same counsellor, from your own home, anywhere in the UK.
The first session
A chance to see if this is the right counselling.
We talk about what you want from the work and how often we would meet. You do not need to send a history beforehand. Please give 48 hours if you need to cancel. What you say in the session stays there, except where the law requires otherwise.
One fee, in the room or online

}The website we deliver
When Wix is enough—and when the studio fits
Wix suits therapists who want a visual editor, UK-friendly hosting and a fast first publish without commissioning an agency. If your Wix site already states session fees, BACP or UKCP lines and how to enquire on crawlable pages, staying can be the right choice—we will say that on a free consultation.
The studio alternative matters when the template orders services for you, hides fees in images or accordions, or when you want search structure, technical habits and Website Care on a site built only for private practice—not another general-business theme.
What you buy instead of a Wix subscription stack
We interview for who you see, session lengths, fees, online or in-room scope and register wording, then compose bespoke pages in our system—not a Wix theme you adapt after hours in the consulting room.
Each real service can have its own URL with internal links, mobile HTML and structured data following 2 design rounds. Delivery is usually within 7–14 days after discovery for most solo practices.

| Apps and widgets for extras | Fees, credentials and enquiry in HTML and JSON-LD by default |

Already on Wix?
Platform-specific rebuild detail is on Wix counsellor website redesign UK and website migration for therapists. We map URLs directories use, rebuild on your domain, and redirect old Wix paths when names change.
Published Managed and outright prices
The alternative is priced as a website build, not a comparison article: Standard Managed £149 setup and £49/month for 12 months, then £39; Growth Managed when each service needs its own page; outright £650 or £995. Prices include VAT.
Wix subscription costs are separate—you weigh editor freedom against the studio doing the therapy page map, structured data and hosting for you.
A free website review, or a free consultation
A free website review if you already have a public site, or a free 20-minute consultation if you do not.

- Are you saying Wix is bad for therapists?
- No. Wix is a legitimate product. We are the alternative when you want a done-for-you therapy site with structured data and managed hosting at our published build prices.
