Newly qualified counsellors
We build the first counsellor website with the status you hold today, a clear fee and room to add pages when your practice grows.
A first practice site should match where you are now—not sound more qualified than you are. Therapist Website Studio publishes the membership or register line you hold today, who you are seeing, the fee and a calm enquiry in HTML and structured data, then leaves space to add service pages when each offer is real.
Example bespoke sites
Morrow Lane is a designed counselling example in Manchester. It is not a portrait of a newly qualified practice and not a client.

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

A short note is enough
Your name, your email, and the Manchester room or online. Please do not include a clinical history.

Exact membership words for AI answers.
First sites fail when they claim every specialism at once. We publish today’s facts so Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity describe the membership you hold—not a stronger label.

}The website we deliver
Status you hold today, in plain text
BACP distinguishes student, member, registrant and accredited member—those words are not interchangeable. We publish the line you hold now, linked to the BACP Register or UKCP entry the public can open, without bringing accreditation forward to make the page sound finished.
We launch with the pages that are true today—who you see, session fee, how someone enquires—in crawlable HTML and structured data. Helpful content guidance fits a first site: useful to the person choosing, not a list of every issue you might work with later.
| What we put on the page | What we put in the data |
|---|---|
| Membership words exactly as BACP or your body defines them | hasCredential matching the visible status line |
| Fee and session length on the services screen | Offer with price and description |
| Register link beside your name | sameAs to the public directory |
| Enquiry route a new client can complete | ContactPoint on the page you want cited |
A small first build that can grow
Extra specialism pages wait until the work is real. A thin site that claims every problem area gives search and AI answers copies, not a practice—we add URLs when the reader or fee genuinely changes.
BACP’s training pages describe routes into the profession; your site links the register you have and points to the private practice toolkit for business steps that sit outside the website build.
Bespoke design at published UK prices
A first solo site is usually Standard Managed: £149 setup and £49 a month for 12 months, then Website Care at £39. Growth Managed waits until each real service needs its own page. Prices include VAT. Outright is £650. The domain stays in your name from the start, so a later redesign is not a rescue from a builder account you do not control.
There is no separate student tariff—the published Managed and outright figures on the pricing page are the prices.
What we build, and what stays with you
The website is the service we deliver: accurate public description, bespoke design and the search layer. What you charge beyond the build fee, placement hours and how you practise stay with you and your membership body.

See what is includedQuestions
- Should the first site list every issue I might work with later?
- We publish the work you are offering now. Future specialism pages are added when those offers are real, each with its own fee sentence.
- Can I say I am accredited on day one?
- Only when accredited member—or the equivalent in your body—is the status you hold. We use each organisation’s own distinctions.
- Is there a cheaper package for trainees?
- No second tariff. First sites use the same published Standard Managed or outright practice price (£149 setup on Managed, or £650 outright).
