Model needs explaining
Integrative, whole-person psychiatry is unfamiliar to many patients and easy to misread.

Challenge
An integrative psychiatry model — treating the whole person, not just symptoms — is a real differentiator, but it takes explaining. Delivered over telehealth, the practice also had to build trust without the reassurance of a physical waiting room.
Integrative, whole-person psychiatry is unfamiliar to many patients and easy to misread.
Building credibility for virtual care without a physical location to anchor it.
Telehealth widens the audience but also the competition — visibility had to work across regions.
Psychiatry messaging must be calm, stigma-aware, and credible at every touchpoint.
Approach
Clear articulation of the integrative, whole-person approach and who it suits.
Content and proof that make virtual psychiatry feel safe, credible, and easy to start.
Content built around conditions to surface the practice across its telehealth area.
Ongoing social presence reinforcing the model and supporting the booking decision.
Results
Reach, engagement, and booking enquiries were tracked in the practice's own platforms. Patient and visit volumes are reconciled with the client and shared under NDA — not published here.

Karma Doctors — Integrative psychiatry is filed in the mental collection. The engagement record identifies integrative psychiatry as Telehealth and programme as Multi-channel. Its published window is 7 mo. These details establish the scope available for public inspection. Read them alongside the client-specific material on this page when assessing whether the example relates to your own brief.
The page’s narrative and engagement record describe the work made public for Karma Doctors. Use the named scope to identify which service questions to explore further. A channel listed in an engagement record describes programme coverage; evidence of a particular result requires the corresponding report and reporting period.
Mental-health marketing should explain the services offered, who provides them and how an initial enquiry is handled. Distinguish a general educational explanation from information about a particular treatment. Keep the contact route straightforward and make the destination of enquiries clear to the intake team. Language and accessibility choices should support understanding. Clinical suitability and patient-specific recommendations belong with the treating professional.
Start with the task a visitor needs to complete. Finding a treatment, checking a clinician’s background, identifying a location and asking for an appointment are related tasks, but they need different information. Make those paths visible in the navigation and on the relevant service pages. A good brief includes the content and the operational destination of each action: who receives the form, what happens after submission and how a visitor obtains help when the first contact route fails.
Desktop screens help explain page hierarchy, but they cannot establish the quality of the mobile experience. Check readable text, tap targets, menu behaviour and form validation on a phone. Long doctor biographies and treatment descriptions should remain easy to scan without hiding important details in decorative interactions. When a collection shows both desktop and mobile artwork, compare the priority of information across them. The mobile layout should preserve useful content rather than simply shrink the desktop composition.
A launch review should cover content ownership, approved contact information, working forms, redirects and the URLs that search engines are expected to index. If a site replaces an existing website, map important old pages to appropriate new destinations. Check titles, descriptions, canonicals and internal links against the actual released URLs. Keep the review list separate from the visual approval: a polished mockup does not prove that a live booking form, analytics event or redirect behaves correctly.
Document the difference between a design study, a delivered website and a live capture. A design study explains a proposed experience. A live capture records what the site looked like when it was captured. Neither alone establishes an improvement in appointment conversion. For an outcome comparison, use a defined period and consistent event definitions, then reconcile digital enquiries with attended appointments where the practice can do so. Performance and accessibility checks should be repeatable after future content edits, not only at the first launch.
