"I went to Dr. Pipkin for a gender dysphoria diagnosis and was definitely a bit worried beforehand but he was always respectful, and I felt that he understood what I wanted and why.

"I recently had my gender dysphoria assessment with Alastair at Unlock Psychology. The whole process was straightforward, surprisingly fast, completely transparent, and entirely free of the gatekeeping you usually find in transgender healthcare. Alastair is a true professional who treats you with respect, making the environment feel genuinely safe and validating. Instead of making me jump through unnecessary hoops, the evaluation itself was grounded entirely in clear facts and objective reality. If you need a reliable clinical psychologist for gender identity services, I definitely recommend him."

"My existing NHS autism assessment was incomplete due to various factors. It was of great personal importance to me to have this updated and correctly recorded, by a qualified professional. I was pleased to find Unlock Psychology Ltd, who not only have their standards and full assessments recognised by the NHS, but were also willing to work with me to evidence and provide the sections that were previously absent or lacking.

Fair pricing.

Good communication before, during, and after interview, including checking for intention, being clear on needed information, and precision of wording on report.

Positive experience that fulfilled expected purpose."

"Such a comforting and warm couple of sessions. I felt able to speak without any worry of judgement and found the process to get this referral really smooth and somewhat enjoyable ! Definitely debunked a lot of nerves or anxiety I had about the steps towards top surgery."

"Absolutely phenomenal work. Very reassuring and overall a comfort to be around, a lot of people would be nervous and I get that, but when I was getting my diagnosis it was a wonderful experience because I felt safe and comfortable throughout it all."

"I had a great assessment with Alastair - he was helpful, non-judgemental and I didn't feel he was pushing me into services that I didn't need. Can highly recommend him."

What Our Clients Say

OVERVIEW

What is Marketing Strategy and SEO for Therapists & Healthcare Clinics?

A marketing strategy for healthcare is an overarching direction of travel that outlines what marketing techniques are used for which audience, in order to achieve specific goals around traffic and financial income. It provides clarity on who the clients are, where you will access them and how. This might include a mixture of content marketing (e.g. blogs), digital marketing (e.g. social media), and SEO (search engine optimisation, or 'showing up on Google').

Marketing strategy and healthcare/therapist clinics arguably feel worlds apart, but having a clear, robust and effective marketing strategy is essential for healthcare. Without it, patients in need won't see you and you won't generate income to sustain your practice. Therapists are seldom trained in or aware of SEO, content marketing or marketing strategies overall, making this a challenging field to navigate in our increasingly digital world.

Marketing strategy for healthcare and SEO for therapists consultancy helps to demystify what you need to show up where your clients are searching. Using experience of generating and implementing marketing strategy in healthcare, the latest science and evidence, and knowledge of SEO and content marketing, our consultancy will help you to develop robust strategies to market your clinic.
