About Me
As a qualified psychotherapist I know how you need to communicate with your future clients and the challenges that this brings.
Since 1996, I have worked on many websites from large to small and from simple to complex. This means I can take the stress out of creating a site for your practice.
My years as an e-Learning Web Developer at the University of Nottingham taught me how to focus the key information on your web pages. Together we can create content that is clear and easy to use and enables your clients to learn about you and book your services.
Twelve years teaching complete beginners to create websites at the University also taught me how to side-step the jargon and coach novices. I can work with you to grow your confidence as you plan and create your own website, or work effectively and openly with you as I create one for you.
I have now trained as a person-centred therapist and would love to help other therapists get online. Let me get stuck into the code so you don’t have to.
