Stockport & Greater Manchester
Professional identity and website design for therapists in Stockport and Greater Manchester.
Alexander Watson Studio is one person, based in Stockport, making practice identities and websites for therapists, counsellors and other independent helping professionals in private practice.
If your practice is nearby, you are working with someone based in the same area as your clients. If it is not, nothing changes. The work is written first, and I work with practices across the UK in exactly the same way.
What I make
An identity and a website, built from understanding the practice.
I start with the practice: who you work with, how you work, and what someone needs to understand before they get in touch. I write that down as your Practice Identity Guide, and the identity is built from it, so the practice looks and sounds like itself on a directory profile, a card, your paperwork and anything you print.
A website can be developed from the same identity, scoped and quoted for your practice, so it looks like you from the first screen. You own what is made for you, your domain stays in your own name, and the files are handed over at the end.
Working together
Clear from the first message.
The process and the prices are published in full, so you can decide whether it suits you before we speak.
- The process
- Enquire, reserve the project, answer my questions, approve the first version of your guide, then your two finished materials are made and everything is sent to you. One round of changes, and nothing is made until you have approved it.
- The price
- £695 for the Practice Identity. £350 to begin. £345 once you have approved the first version of your Practice Identity Guide, before your two finished materials are made and your files are sent to you.
- A website
- Developed from your identity if you want one, scoped and quoted in writing.
- Meetings
- Mostly written, wherever you are. Calls when they help.
- Who does the work
- Me. The person who works through your practice with you is the person who designs the identity.
Who you would be working with
Marketing first. Counselling training now.
More than fifteen years across marketing, e-commerce and personal branding, and I am now training as a counsellor in Greater Manchester, with supervised client work on placement. The training is not a design credential; it is useful context for what a therapist’s website has to hold.
Don’t need a whole new website? I also take on smaller pieces of work, such as a directory profile refinement, SEO foundations or help with the website you already have, at £55 an hour or a fixed quote.
Or start with the free guidance: short notes on what belongs on a therapist’s website.
