Quiet, plain websites for private practice psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists, written for someone who has taken a while to reach out and wants to know who they'll see, what it costs and how to start.
Someone looking for a therapist may read your site several times before booking, sometimes late at night on a phone. They're checking whether you work with problems like theirs, what a session will cost after any rebate, and whether they can get started without making a phone call they're dreading.
Soft colours that still have enough contrast, generous spacing, short paragraphs and no pop-ups or countdown banners. A real photo of you and your consulting room, if you're comfortable with that, tells a nervous visitor more than stock images of hands around a mug.
A button that opens your Halaxy, Coreplus or other booking page, with email and tap-to-call as alternatives. If you prefer to speak with people before booking them in, we use a short enquiry form instead of open booking. Either way, the site says how soon you usually reply and whether you have a waitlist.
“Psychologist” is a protected title under the National Law, and titles such as “clinical psychologist” or “counselling psychologist” belong to psychologists with that area of practice endorsement on the Ahpra register. Counsellors and psychotherapists aren't Ahpra-registered; many list membership of the ACA or PACFA, or a listing on ARCAP. Each bio states exactly what the practitioner holds.
Under Better Access, a client with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan, a psychiatrist's plan or a paediatrician's referral can claim up to 10 individual sessions a calendar year with an eligible psychologist, clinical psychologist, social worker or occupational therapist. Since 1 November 2025, a GP's plan generally has to come from the client's usual GP or their MyMedicare practice. Counsellors aren't Better Access providers, though some private health funds pay counselling rebates. Your fees page says which applies, your fee, the likely gap and your cancellation policy.
The Privacy Act covers health service providers whatever their turnover. The enquiry form asks only for a name, a way to reply and a good time to call, with a note that people don't need to explain their situation there. It links to your privacy policy, and you decide whether any analytics or advertising tags go on the site at all.
A private practice isn't a crisis service, and the site should say so plainly. A short note on every page points to 000 in an emergency and to Lifeline on 13 11 14, so someone in crisis isn't left waiting on an email reply.
We haven't built a site for a psychology or counselling practice. The two closest are below: a family dispute resolution practice in Sydney whose clients are often going through a separation, and a Melbourne coaching practice for doctors. Neither is a mental health service.
Family law mediation and dispute resolution in Sydney, for people working through a separation. The site pairs priced packages with online booking and a five-step intake form, a setup that suits practices wanting some background before a first session.

Coaching for doctors, run by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist, where clients expect discretion. Her site sets out the coaching on offer and her credentials, every page links to booking a discovery call, and there's a contact form for anyone not ready to book.

Yes, through the system you already use. We don't run bookings ourselves; we link your Halaxy, Coreplus or similar booking page from every page of the site. If you'd rather speak with people before they book, we set up a short enquiry form and a call-back request instead.
Psychologists are Ahpra-registered, so section 133 of the National Law rules out testimonials about clinical care in advertising their services, including on their own website. Counselling isn't an Ahpra-regulated profession, though the rule still applies to a counselling practice that also advertises sessions with a registered psychologist. Otherwise, check whether your association's code of ethics says anything about client endorsements before you publish them. Either way, we build trust through your qualifications, your approach and clear fees. Ahpra explains the rule in its testimonial guidance (opens in a new tab).
Whether you're a Better Access provider, what a client needs to claim (usually a referral and Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP), how many sessions are covered and your fee. Referral rules changed on 1 November 2025, so we link to the Department of Health's Better Access page (opens in a new tab) rather than copying detail that may change again. If you show rebate amounts, send us the new figures when they change; text updates are part of the $30 monthly hosting.
If you work with distinct groups, yes. People often search for the issue and a place, such as couples counselling in their suburb, or for a telehealth psychologist. A page for each main area, written without promising outcomes, gives them something specific to find. That points to the 8-page site at $1,499; most solo practitioners start on 3 pages.
If you offer it, near the top: “in person in your suburb or by video” tells a visitor straight away whether distance rules you out. The fees page should say whether the fee or any rebate differs for video sessions. The booking link goes to your own system and video platform; we don't provide either.
Tell us who you work with, how clients book and whether you offer Medicare rebates. We'll quote it and build the draft, and you pay only once you're happy with it.
