Ways to Attract Psychotherapy Clients
There are numerous ways to attract psychotherapy and counselling clients. Traditional ways focus on referrals from doctors, health centres, other colleagues or word of mouth. The use of brochures, letters and business cards are useful ways to 'get yourself known' so people can refer clients to you. Listings on online directories are also valuable ways for clients to find you directly as are listings in both online and offline general directories.
Many therapists are cautious of new ways of attracting clients which include using the internet or indirect ways to raise their profile, including writing online and offline articles, YouTube videos, special reports, reviews etc – all ways for people to find you and be attracted to you. However, these methods only work if clients can 'find you' after they have heard about you. Clients today are changing – many if not most, expect you to have a website and will research you (and many others) to ensure you are the therapist they want to work with.
If you are serious about attracting psychotherapy and counselling clients, then you must embrace these new ways of clients finding you and you finding clients! Psychotherapy clients, particularly, who are looking for a longer term relationship with a therapist, are today doing far more research about therapists to ensure they find the best person to work with.
