Therapist Website Studio

Navigation

Therapy website navigation examples

We build navigation from the pages you actually have—work, about, fees, contact, plus one link per real service—so the phone list matches the desk list and every item is a URL, not a picture of a menu. Meridian Room shows the pattern on a designed example; we do not add Blog, Shop or Resources tabs without those pages.

Example bespoke sites

Meridian Room is a designed example in Leeds. Its menu is layout copy labelled on this site—not a live clinic navigation or proof of hire.

Time enough to say what the trouble actually is

Individual psychotherapy, usually weekly. £85 for 50 minutes. Thursdays in Leeds, and online on the other days.

To see whether this work fits

These meetings are not an assessment, and you are not asked to send a history. A loss, a relationship, or work are ordinary places to begin.

Thursdays in the Leeds room. Other days online across the UK. Your name, your email, and which you prefer.

SEO, AI AEO and language models

Crawlable links machines follow.

Navigation examples hide pages in images. We keep real internal links in HTML so Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity quote the same routes—not invented sections.

Under the surface

Navigation in data.

This block is on the page because menus become pictures. The sample Service names the same real pages on phone and desk.

JSON-LD · schema.orgWhat the crawler is given

  "serviceType": "Therapy website navigation",
  "description": "Same real pages on phone and desk"

The website we deliver

Online, solo and team shapes

An online practice does not get a Locations item with no location—the menu states that work is remote. A practice with one room links to that place only.

A group site lists people on therapy practice team page and quotes on therapy centre website design—we do not inflate a solo menu to look like a clinic.

Phone menu and focus

On small screens the same links sit in a control with a visible name and keyboard focus—WCAG 2.2 is why we do not ship a hamburger with no label. Dropdowns still resolve to links someone can open without a mouse.

Crawlers follow the links people follow; structured data does not invent a section the menu does not show. Google’s SEO starter guide is the reference for crawlable internal links—not a promise that menu wording will change rank.

Navigation in the published build

Header, footer and mobile navigation are composed inside therapist website design—£149 setup and £49 a month on Standard Managed for 12 months, then £39; Prices include VAT.

Standard Managed is £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then Website Care at £39. Growth Managed is £249 and £69 a month, then £49, when each real service needs its own page. We do not add phantom tabs to fill the bar or charge a per-link menu fee. Growth Managed at £249 and £69 a month is when each real service needs its own URL—not extra nav labels with nowhere to go.

Questions

How many menu items is too many?
As many as there are real pages. A short practice stays short.
Is the phone menu different from the desk menu?
The links are the same. The control is sized for a thumb.
Do you hide fees in the footer only?
No. When there is a fees page, navigation can reach it.
