Frequently asked questions
What are the HPCSA ethics rules for psychologist advertising?▾
Psychologists may advertise qualifications, scope, modalities and contact details. Testimonials about therapeutic outcomes, comparative claims and guarantees are prohibited under the HPCSA Ethical Rules.
Can I share client testimonials on my psychology website?▾
No. Testimonials about therapy outcomes are not permitted. We use ethically sound alternatives — credentials, training, modality explanations and educational content — to build trust.
How do I attract clients for online therapy sessions?▾
Dedicated landing pages for online therapy, content addressing specific concerns (anxiety, burnout, grief), and a simple WhatsApp/booking flow convert online-therapy seekers reliably.
What type of content builds trust for a psychology practice?▾
Educational articles on common concerns, your training and approach, what a first session looks like, and consent/confidentiality practices. This pre-empts client questions and reduces friction.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?▾
No. All our retainer services are month-to-month with no lock-in. We earn your business every month through results, not contracts.
How soon will I see results from digital marketing?▾
Website launches and paid traffic deliver inquiries in days. SEO and content typically show meaningful movement at 60–90 days, with strong compounding gains from month 4 onward.
