Your practice is easy to find when someone knows your name. Harder when they don't.
Search for your practice by name and your website comes up straight away. So Google can find it perfectly well.
But search for the kind of therapy you offer in the area you work in, and something different happens. A directory comes up. A clinic comes up. Someone else's practice comes up. Not yours.
That gap is the thing I work on.
Why it happens
It usually isn't because there's anything wrong with your website.
Most therapy websites I look at are fine. Clear, well written, professional. The therapist behind them is well qualified and genuinely good at the work.
The problem is that Google has no way of connecting the practice to what people are actually typing. Someone searches for help with panic attacks in their area. Your site never mentions the area, or the page about panic attacks sits inside a longer page about something else, so Google has nothing to match.
The information is there. It just isn't in a form a search engine can use.
What I do
I'm Maatla Mabua. I work with private therapy practices in London, one at a time.
I check what's actually happening.
Real searches, run on the day, for the kind of therapy you offer in the places you work. Not an automated report.
I tell you what I find in plain English.
No jargon, no acronyms, nothing you need to look up.
I fix what's fixable.
Usually that means the pages themselves, how they're structured, and what Google sees when it looks at them.
I don't promise positions.
Nobody can honestly promise a specific spot in Google. What I can tell you is what's standing in the way and what it takes to clear it.
Proof, not claims
I had no clients when I started, so I built a therapy website from scratch and did the work on it myself, in public, where the results could be checked.
It went from invisible to appearing on the first page for real searches, and most of its traffic now comes from Google rather than from people who already knew it existed.
It's a demonstration project rather than a client, and the numbers are all there to look at.
If you'd like to know where you stand
I'm happy to take a look at your practice and show you what comes up when someone searches for your specialism in your area. No cost, and no obligation afterwards.
If there's nothing much wrong, I'll tell you that too.
