HCPC registration
The statutory register for practitioner psychologists. Your registration number and a link to your entry let anyone check you in seconds.
Psychologist website design
Psychologist website design that earns trust.
Years of training don't help if a visitor can't tell what kind of psychologist you are, whether you're registered, or which service they need. We build your site around answering that in the first few seconds.

Psychology is a regulated profession, but most visitors don't know which titles are protected or what separates a clinical psychologist from a counselling one. Your website is where that gets explained — or where the visitor gives up and goes back to the search results.

practitioner psychologists are on the HCPC register — so a visitor comparing psychologists has plenty of names to choose from

psychologist titles are protected by law, from clinical to educational psychologist — but the word “psychologist” on its own isn’t one of them
HCPC
What a visitor is really deciding
Six questions, one page.
Whether it's a prospective client, a parent, a GP or a solicitor, someone landing on a psychologist's website is working through the same six questions. A good site answers all of them without making anyone dig.
- Are they the right kind of psychologist?Clinical, counselling, health or educational — what your title means, explained in a sentence rather than assumed.
- Are they registered, and can I check?Your HCPC number and a link to your register entry, plus BPS Chartered status if you hold it.
- Do they work with people like me?Age groups, the concerns you work with, and — just as usefully — what you don't offer.
- Is this therapy, an assessment, or both?Each service kept separate, with what it involves, how long it takes and what the visitor ends up with.
- What will it cost, and will insurance help?Session fees, assessment and report costs, and any insurers you're recognised by, stated plainly.
- What happens if I get in touch?Self-referral or professional referral, a realistic reply time, and no pressure to share clinical detail up front.
Protected titles
“Psychologist” on its own isn't a protected title.
The HCPC regulates practitioner psychologists and protects nine titles, including clinical, counselling and educational psychologist — but not the word “psychologist” by itself. A visitor who knows that will look for your exact title and registration. One who doesn't is relying on your site to make it obvious. Either way, the HCPC register should be one click away.
Your exact protected title
Clinical, counselling, health, educational, forensic, occupational or sport and exercise psychologist — used exactly as registered.
BPS Chartered (CPsychol)
Chartered membership of the British Psychological Society, shown alongside your HCPC registration — never as a substitute for it.
We build your HCPC number, register link and any BPS status directly into your site. The HCPC's standards of conduct expect your promotional material to be accurate and not misleading, so nothing on your site is overstated.
Structuring your services
Therapy, assessments, reports — each with its own space.
Many psychologists offer more than one kind of work, often to completely different audiences. A worried parent, a GP and a solicitor shouldn't have to read the same page to find what they need.
Therapy
Your approach — CBT, EMDR, compassion-focused or integrative — with session length, fee and format in plain English.
Assessments
What you assess, each stage of the process, how long it takes and the total cost including the report.
Medico-legal & expert witness
A page written for solicitors, with your instruction process and expertise, kept apart from the client-facing pages.
Children, young people & families
Written for parents, with consent, confidentiality for young people and any school liaison explained clearly.
Supervision & consultancy
For other clinicians looking for a supervisor, without confusing prospective clients about what you offer them.
Workplace & organisational
Training, coaching or consultancy for employers, set out for the people who commission that work.
We only include the services you actually offer and are competent in — no padding your site with specialisms you don't practise.
The essentials
What a psychologist website actually needs.
A prospective client or referrer shouldn't have to hunt for reassurance. These are the things every psychology practice website should get right.
A clear introduction & bio
Who you are, who you work with and how you work — a human introduction, not a copy of your CV.
Your title & registration
Your exact protected title, HCPC number and register link, with BPS status alongside if you have it.
Who you work with
Age groups and presenting concerns you're competent in — and a clear note on when you'd refer someone on.
Services & approach
Therapy models and assessments described in plain language, each with its own clear space.
Location & online sessions
Where you see people, access information, and where you can work with clients online.
Fees & insurance
Session fees, assessment and report costs, cancellation terms and any insurers that currently recognise you.
Referral routes
Self-referral, GP or professional referral, insurer or solicitor — each with a path that makes sense.
Privacy & confidentiality
What confidentiality covers and its limits, and an enquiry form that never asks for clinical history.
Getting found
Your own site vs. a directory listing.
Directory profiles help people find you, but they put you next to every other psychologist on the page — and there's rarely room to explain an assessment process or a medico-legal service properly. Your own site is where a client, GP or solicitor can see exactly what you do.
Included with every website
Solid technical foundations
Every page loads fast and is properly structured from the day you launch — the unglamorous groundwork search engines actually reward.
Copy written to be found
Your core pages are written around what people actually search for, such as "clinical psychologist near me" or the assessments you offer.
AI search visibility
Structured so tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews can understand your practice, your title and your services, and cite them accurately.
Available to help you go further (paid add-ons)
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
So someone searching "psychologist near me" finds your profile and your site working together, not competing with each other.
Extra service & assessment pages
A dedicated page for each assessment or specialism you offer, instead of one page trying to rank for everything at once.
Advanced SEO, ads & content
Ongoing optimisation, paid ads and monthly content for practices ready to actively grow their enquiries, not just maintain them.
Design principles
Psychologist website design that reads as expert, not clinical.
Psychology sites often have the opposite problem to counselling sites: plenty of credentials, and a page that reads like a CV. Visitors need to see the expertise and the person behind it.
- 01Mobile-friendly & fast
Most people search on their phone, often in a stressful moment — a slow site loses them before they read a word.
- 02Clear navigation
Fees, services and your contact form should be one or two clicks away, never a hunt through a menu.
- 03Accessible
Strong contrast, readable type, and a site that still works with a keyboard or screen reader.
- 04No generic template look
Built around your own practice and photography, not a stock layout with your name swapped in.
The building blocks
What this looks like on a psychologist's site.
The same building blocks we use on every UpTopWeb therapy site, adapted for how psychologists are found and referred.
A real portrait, not a stock photo
Your own face in a soft, friendly frame is one of the strongest trust signals on the page — and it balances a long list of credentials.
Title and registration in the first screen
Your full protected title and HCPC registration sit next to your name, not three clicks away on an About page.
Separate paths for different visitors
A clear "get in touch" for prospective clients, with its own route for GPs, insurers or solicitors who need something different.
A second chance to convert as you scroll
A quiet, persistent prompt near the bottom of the page for visitors who read everything before they're ready to act.
Real UpTopWeb examples
The same foundations, two different practices.
These are fictional demonstrations built around UK private-practice best practice — a trauma-informed art psychotherapy practice and an online therapy service. A psychologist's site uses the same foundations, with your title, registration and services in their place.

FAQ
Common questions from psychologists
Is the website really free to build?
Yes. We design and build your psychologist website at no upfront cost. The only ongoing charge is £19.99 a month for hosting, support and unlimited edits, with a 10-day trial before billing starts.
Do I have to be HCPC registered to call myself a psychologist?
It depends on the title. "Psychologist" on its own isn't protected, but "practitioner psychologist", "registered psychologist" and seven specialist titles — including clinical, counselling and educational psychologist — can only be used by people on the HCPC register. We make sure your site uses your exact registered title and links to your register entry.
Should I show BPS Chartered status as well as HCPC registration?
If you hold it, yes. Chartered membership (CPsychol) is recognised by many visitors and referrers. We show it alongside your HCPC registration rather than in place of it, because the HCPC is the statutory regulator.
Can I use "Dr" on my website?
If you hold a doctorate, such as a DClinPsy, you can — but make clear you're a psychologist rather than a medical doctor. ASA guidance on health advertising expects a "Dr" title to be clearly qualified when someone doesn't hold a medical qualification, so we always pair it with your full title, for example "Dr Jane Smith, Clinical Psychologist".
I offer therapy and assessments — can my site cover both?
Yes. Therapy and assessment usually attract different visitors with different questions, so we give each its own clear space, with its own process, timescale and costs, rather than squeezing them into one paragraph.
Can I have a separate page for medico-legal or expert witness work?
Yes. That work is usually best on its own page, written for solicitors rather than clients, so the instruction process is easy to find without appearing in the pages a prospective client reads.
Can I list the insurers that recognise me?
Yes, as long as the recognition is current. We show it as plain text you've confirmed, and only use insurer logos if you have permission to. Insurer lists change, so it's worth checking them whenever your details are updated.
Can I put client testimonials on my website?
Check your professional body's current guidance first, and consider the power dynamic of asking a client. Advertising rules also apply: a testimonial can't be used to suggest a therapy works for a condition when that isn't backed by evidence. We'll help you get the wording and consent right if you decide to use them.
I only have a directory listing right now — can you build my first proper website?
Yes, this is one of the most common starting points we see. We design and build a full site around your existing profile, so you're not solely dependent on a directory for enquiries.
Can you move my site from Wix, Squarespace or another builder?
Yes — your domain and the content that's already working come with you. We design and build the replacement site around them rather than starting from nothing, and can register a .co.uk domain for you if you don't already have one.
Can I collect enquiries without asking for clinical details?
Yes. The enquiry form only asks for what's needed to reply — never a clinical history or anything that isn't your business to collect up front — with a short privacy note beside it.
Will this actually help me get found on Google?
Foundational SEO — structure, page speed, headings and metadata — plus AI search optimisation is built into every site from launch. Local SEO, Google Business Profile management and extra service pages are available as paid add-ons once you're ready to push further.
How long does it take to launch?
A first draft is usually ready within 24–48 hours of your brief, then we refine it with you until you're happy. Your 10-day trial gives you time to check everything properly before any billing starts.
Is there a contract, or can I cancel any time?
No contract, ever. Cancel free during the 10-day trial, or afterwards whenever you like — your site comes down and billing stops the moment you do.
