The design concept for Megan Williams’s psychotherapy website was guided by the need to create a calm, welcoming, and grounded digital space that reflects trust, warmth, and emotional safety. As the platform represents a therapeutic service, it was essential that visitors immediately feel supported and reassured. The overall visual identity was therefore designed to feel gentle and human, avoiding anything overly clinical or visually overwhelming, and instead offering a sense of stability and care.A clean, minimal aesthetic was adopted to allow the content to breathe and to support emotional clarity. The website’s structure is clear and intuitive, enabling users to easily understand who Megan is, how she works, and what support is available to them. This ease of navigation is particularly important for users who may be feeling vulnerable, as it reduces cognitive load and encourages confidence in taking the next step toward therapy.
Typography plays a key role in reinforcing this calm and professional tone. We chose simple, highly legible fonts with a soft, modern feel to ensure accessibility and readability across all devices. Headings are clear and gently weighted, helping guide users through the content, while body text remains approachable and easy to read, supporting longer engagement with informative sections. The font pairing balances professionalism with warmth, reinforcing Megan’s credibility while remaining friendly and non-intimidating.The colour palette was carefully curated to support the emotional goals of the platform. Soft neutral backgrounds create a sense of openness and calm, while muted, natural tones are used throughout the site to evoke trust, grounding, and emotional balance. These colours were chosen to feel soothing rather than distracting, helping the website function as a safe and reassuring space for users seeking therapeutic support.
Specific design elements were introduced to strengthen user connection and clarity. The inclusion of a professional yet approachable profile image helps humanise the service and build trust, while clearly defined content sections break information into manageable, reassuring pieces. Subtle call-to-action elements are placed thoughtfully throughout the page, encouraging users to make contact without pressure. Overall, the platform was designed not only to communicate information, but to reflect the values of psychotherapy itself and how it values empathy, clarity, and emotional safety. As well as ensuring visitors feel supported from their first interaction with the site.
The visual identity and art direction for Megan Williams’s psychotherapy website were designed to communicate calm, trust, and emotional safety. A soft, minimal aesthetic was chosen to ensure the site feels welcoming rather than overwhelming, particularly for users who may be visiting during a vulnerable moment. The colour palette is made up of muted, neutral tones inspired by nature, with off-white backgrounds creating a sense of openness and gentle accent colours used sparingly to guide attention. This restrained use of colour supports emotional grounding while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
Typography and imagery further reinforce this calming visual language. Literata Regular was selected for headings due to its elegant serif style, which conveys warmth, credibility, and a reflective quality well suited to a therapeutic context. Public Sans was used for body text to ensure clarity, accessibility, and ease of reading across devices. Imagery was kept minimal and authentic, with professional portrait photography helping to humanise the platform and build trust. Together, these elements create a cohesive and considered visual identity that reflects the values of psychotherapy such as empathy, clarity, and reassurance. Alongside users as they engage with the site.
