Course content:

A clear, confident approach to marketing can help you attract the right clients, build trust and grow a sustainable therapy business.

Completely rewritten in 2026, this course has been designed for holistic, complementary and wellbeing therapists who want to promote their services in a professional, ethical and modern way. It is suitable for newly qualified therapists, therapists returning to practice, and experienced practitioners who want to refresh their marketing and bring their business up to date.

You will learn how to understand your ideal clients, communicate the value of your therapy, create a trustworthy brand, plan your marketing, use your website and social media more effectively, build local relationships, encourage referrals, manage reviews, improve client retention and measure what is working.

The course also covers practical areas such as pricing, packages, local SEO, Google Business Profile, email marketing, legal and ethical considerations, accessibility, visual content, AI tools and what to do during quieter periods.

By the end of the course, you should feel more confident about marketing your therapy business without feeling pushy, overwhelmed or inauthentic. You will be encouraged to create a realistic marketing plan that suits your personality, your clients and your long term goals.
