For psychologists, specifically
What I know about your niche.
Psychology websites are constrained by sensitive subject matter and template-driven competition. The marketing-led approach navigates this: plain-language content, fee transparency, real practitioner depth, specialty positioning.
What actually moves the needle for a Melbourne psychologist:
- Fee transparency including Medicare rebates. Initial fee, standard fee, rebate amount, gap fee.
- Specialty positioning. Child + adolescent, couples, trauma, EMDR, NDIS, neurodiversity — distinct prospect segments.
- Plain-language content addressing fears. “What if I cry?”, “How do I know if I need therapy?”, “What happens in the first session?”
- Real practitioner photos + bios with depth. Professional but human.
- Telehealth surfaced clearly. Post-2020 standard.
- Live Google reviews where ethically appropriate. Within AHPRA constraints.
- Local SEO precision. “[Suburb] psychologist”, “child psychologist Melbourne”, “trauma psychologist [suburb]”.
Psychology specialties that work with the marketing-led approach: general adult psychology, child and adolescent psychology, couples and relationship therapy, trauma and PTSD, EMDR specialist, NDIS-funded therapy, neurodiversity and ADHD assessment, perinatal psychology.

FAQ
Things psychologists ask before booking.
Should I publish session fees?
Yes. 'Initial session from A$240, standard session from A$220, with Medicare rebate A$96.65'. Most psychology practices hide fees on the assumption it filters poorly; in practice transparency reduces friction and pre-qualifies.
Specialty (child, couples, trauma, EMDR, NDIS) — separate pages?
Yes. Different prospect segments need different content. Child psychology prospects are parents researching anxiously. Couples prospects are pre-research stage. Trauma and EMDR prospects are post-research, ready to book.
Real practitioner photos — appropriate?
Yes, with care. Real photo, professional context (not corporate-stiff, not casual-overshare). Stock photos of women in glasses with notepads lose visibly.
Telehealth options?
Surface prominently. Many prospects (especially post-2020) prefer telehealth. Booking widget should let them toggle in-person/telehealth.
Bulk-billing vs private?
Be clear up front. Most psychology is part-rebated; communicate Medicare rebate amounts and gap fees plainly.
