GlasgowTherapists.com was created out of a simple but persistent frustration, that national therapy directories often overlook the unique needs of local communities.

As a psychologist running a practice in Glasgow, I found that many of the large directories were designed for broad reach, but not local impact. They often ranked well nationally but performed poorly in local search results. For clients searching for a therapist near them, this made it unnecessarily hard to find the right support in their own area. And for practitioners, it meant being lost in a sea of listings, with little visibility unless you paid for premium placement.

I also found that I didn’t have the time, or in many cases, the SEO expertise, to optimise my own website for search visibility. I realised I wasn’t alone. Many of my colleagues felt the same: they were offering excellent, professional care, but struggling to be found online by the people who needed them most.

GlasgowTherapists.com is my response to that gap. It’s a local, independent directory that puts Glasgow and its surrounding areas first. It’s designed to help clients find qualified therapists they can trust, and to support practitioners in building a sustainable, visible private practice without needing to master digital marketing.

We’re focused on local search engine optimisation (SEO), clean design, and providing a user-friendly experience, for both clients and therapists. Listings are affordable and designed to support practitioners, not compete with them. We’re also expanding to include space for wellbeing professionals and room listings, helping to grow a community of care across the city.

This is a work in progress, but the goal is clear: to make therapy more accessible in Glasgow by helping people find the right therapist, at the right time, close to home.
