Journey Home Counselling Services offers trauma-informed therapy for individuals, children and teens, couples and men. Sessions are in person in Pickering, Ontario, and online across Ontario, Alberta and Quebec.
Making the first step smaller
Reaching out to a therapist is hard. People often visit a counselling website more than once before they get in touch. The site’s job is to make that first step as small and as safe as possible, so everything leads to a free 15-minute consultation behind a single Get Started button.
What “home” means
The homepage opens like a dictionary entry: home, a sense of safety, clarity and connection within yourself. That one line explains the practice’s name and its whole approach, and tells someone who is struggling that this is a gentle place to start.
What I built
- Separate service pages for individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, men’s mental health and wellness workshops, plus an overview of all services
- Our Team, so people can meet the therapists before choosing one
- A blog written by the therapists, on topics like perfectionism, attachment styles and culturally relevant therapy
- An FAQ on the approaches used, such as CBT, DBT and EMDR, and how insurance receipts work
- A free consultation form, plus About and Contact pages
Why Squarespace
A small practice should spend its time with clients, not maintaining a website. Squarespace keeps hosting, security and backups out of the way, and the team can publish blog posts and update their bios on their own. Sage green, muted gold and soft grey keep the whole site quiet and warm.
Where it stands
A calm, welcoming site where every page points to the same small first step. It scores 100 for SEO in Google Lighthouse.
