Web design for therapists and counsellors in Edmonton
I design and build websites for therapists and counsellors in Edmonton, planned around what local clients search and one clear action: book a free consultation call with a therapist.

Send me your site. I’ll look at it the way someone in Edmonton would when choosing a practice, and tell you what I’d change first.
What Edmonton clients search
Many counselling clients look within their own part of the city or search for online sessions in their province. A Google Business Profile with accurate hours and a page per office location carry most of the local weight. Edmontonians search by neighbourhood and side of the river: "physio south Edmonton", "dentist Windermere", "restaurant Whyte Ave". The surrounding cities, like St. Albert and Sherwood Park, are separate searches with their own loyal customers. A site that names the areas you serve, backed by a matching Google Business Profile, wins those local searches.
- therapist edmonton
- grief counselling edmonton
- affordable counselling edmonton
- counsellor near me
- therapist downtown
- grief counselling old strathcona / whyte ave
- affordable counselling ice district
Areas that come up in Edmonton searches: Downtown, Old Strathcona / Whyte Ave, Ice District, 124 Street, Windermere, Garneau, Summerside and South Edmonton Common.
Health in Edmonton
Edmonton has a large health sector anchored by its university and hospitals, plus many independent dental, physio, chiropractic and psychology practices across the city. Patients choose by area and practitioner, so clinician pages and working online booking are essential.
Edmonton is Alberta's capital, so provincial government, the University of Alberta and major hospitals are large parts of the city's economy. The Industrial Heartland northeast of the city anchors petrochemical and energy processing, and Edmonton is a long-standing service and supply base for northern Alberta. A strong independent restaurant, arts and festival scene rounds out the mix.
Rules for therapists and counsellors in Alberta
Counselling therapy is not yet a regulated profession in Alberta. In 2024 the province announced it would be regulated by the College of Alberta Psychologists, but that is not in effect yet, so check the current status. Alberta therapists may be registered psychologists or social workers, or hold an association certification, and each bio should name exactly what the person holds.
Alberta PIPA covers what your forms collect, and the Alberta Health Information Act may apply to health information. The full breakdown, from testimonials to titles, is on the therapists and counsellors in Alberta page. Rules change, so check your regulator’s current standard.
The pages that win the work
Counselling clients often need a softer first step than a full session. A free 15-minute call on each bio, booked online, does most of the work. A short message option catches people who would rather be matched by someone at the practice.
A bio per therapist
Credential, modalities, who they work with, and a voice that sounds like them. Fit is the whole decision.
Credentials and coverage
What designations like RSW, RCC, CCC and RP mean, which are licences and which are certifications, and that plan recognition varies.
Fees and sliding scale
Full rate, any reduced-fee spots, and how to ask for one without having to explain yourself on the phone.
Areas of focus
Grief, relationships, trauma, life transitions. Short pages in plain language, each pointing to the right therapists.
Getting started
How a first call works, what happens next and how long until a session. It turns hesitation into a booking.
Working together in Edmonton
We work over video calls with a shared preview link, which keeps the project moving as well as in-person meetings would. I'm in Alberta and can come up for a kickoff if it helps.
I work with the kind of Edmonton businesses that want a site built properly rather than assembled from a template: clinics, firms, builders and owner-run brands. They need a clear story, real photos and a site that turns visits into calls and bookings.
I also work with therapists and counsellors nearby, in Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Stony Plain and Devon.
Therapists and counsellors in Edmonton: common questions
We work over video calls with a shared preview link, which keeps the project moving as well as in-person meetings would. I'm in Alberta and can come up for a kickoff if it helps. For a practice, the first meeting is usually about who your best clients are and what they need to see before they book a free consultation call with a therapist.
Searches like “therapist edmonton”, “grief counselling edmonton”, “affordable counselling edmonton” and “counsellor near me”. Many counselling clients look within their own part of the city or search for online sessions in their province. A Google Business Profile with accurate hours and a page per office location carry most of the local weight. I plan the pages around those searches, so each one lands on a page that answers it.
Your provincial regulator’s advertising standard applies. Privacy falls under Alberta PIPA, or the Alberta Health Information Act if you are a custodian. Rules change, so we check the current standard together before launch.
Yes. Show the full rate and say that reduced-fee spots exist and how to ask for one. People who need a lower rate are often the least likely to call and ask. A clear, judgment-free sentence and a simple request option respects them and keeps those spots filled.
Write them in the first person, about the client rather than the therapist’s training history. Who do you work with, what does a session with you feel like, what do you believe about change. I interview each therapist briefly and shape the bio from that, keeping credentials in a short line underneath.
