SEO, websites and Google Business Profile help for complementary and hands-on therapists (counsellors welcome too). I'll handle the techy bits that make your eyes glaze over, so you can get back to the work you actually trained for.
Hi, I'm Steve. I spent 20 years as an acupuncturist and natural health therapist, and built my own practice online. Now I help other therapists get found, look the part and fill their diaries, without the pushy marketing stuff that makes us all wince.
Sound familiar?
It's rarely one big disaster. It's usually a handful of small things, like a dripping tap. Nobody notices one drip, but by the end of the month the bill's gone up. Here's what I see most often.
Services
Not sure which one you need? That's completely normal. Tell me what's going on and I'll point you to the one that makes sense, even if that's the cheapest one.
I go through your website and Google presence with a fine-tooth comb and hand you a short, prioritised to-do list in plain English. Not a 40-page report you'll never read.
→See the reviewPeople visiting but not booking? I find the small things putting them off and fix them, so more of the people already on your site feel confident enough to get in touch.
→See booking optimisationGoogle, Google Maps and AI search tools like ChatGPT. I help them understand what you do, who you help and where you are, so you show up when it counts.
→See local SEOClear, calm, easy to read on a phone at 11pm, and built around how people actually choose a therapist.
→See website designPlenty of people can build you a nice-looking website. I build one that gets found, and gets booked. All the words are written for you.
All the SEO groundwork is done before launch, so you're set up to be found on Google, Google Maps and AI search tools like ChatGPT from day one.
Clear, warm and professional, so visitors feel they're in safe hands within seconds.
Your experience and approach come across clearly, so people can see why you're the right fit for them.
“Will they understand me?” “What happens in the first session?” “How much does it cost?” The questions that stop people booking are answered before they need to ask.
A clear, gentle path to booking. No pressure, no salesy tricks.
WHY CHOOSE ME
Plenty of SEO agencies understand Google. Not many have spent 20 years with needles in one hand and an appointment book in the other. I know what it's like to be good at the work and still have gaps in the diary.
So I don't just chase rankings. I think about what makes a nervous first-time client feel safe enough to pick up the phone.
20 years in practice as an acupuncturist and natural health therapist. I speak your language, and your clients'.
7 years teaching marketing to final-year acupuncture students, helping them build practices that last.
10+ years building websites and doing SEO for small businesses, now pointed squarely at therapists.
No countdown timers, no fake urgency, no shouty headlines. Therapy runs on trust, so your website should too.
If I can't explain it without jargon, that's my problem to fix, not yours.
No account managers, no handovers. The person on the discovery call is the person doing the work.
Process
We have a chat, and I take a proper look at your website, your Google presence and where you'd like your practice to be.
I tell you what's worth doing, in what order, and what it'll cost. Fixed price, no surprises, no small print.
I roll up my sleeves and get it done, keep you posted along the way, then hand everything over with a clear explanation of what changed and why.
About
I didn't learn SEO and web design in an agency. I learned it the hard way, building my own acupuncture and natural health practice.
I worked out pretty quickly that being good at what you do isn't enough if nobody can find you. So I rolled up my sleeves and learned websites, SEO and marketing until my practice was thriving.
Before long, other therapists were asking how I'd done it. Helping a few colleagues turned into a second business running alongside my clinic, and later into seven years teaching marketing to final-year acupuncture students.
These days I keep things small on purpose. I take on a handful of projects at a time, so each one gets my full attention rather than a slot in a queue.
