See It In Action
A 5-minute walkthrough of a real Karv build: the site, the booking system, the client organiser, and how it all connects.
Never lose an enquiry. See exactly how each visitor moves toward becoming a booked client, all in one dashboard.

Tommy was building his counselling and performance coaching practice from scratch and needed a site that felt as credible as the work itself, not a template that undersold him. We built a brand and website that clearly communicates his dual focus as a psychotherapist and performance coach, giving him a platform he's proud to send people to.

Most business owners I meet are brilliant at their craft and quietly exhausted by everything that surrounds it. The website that never quite does what it should. The booking system nobody showed them how to use. The tech that was supposed to save time and somehow created more of it.
I started Karv because I kept seeing the same pattern: talented people being let down by generic solutions built for nobody in particular.
What I build is specific to you. A website that reflects how good you actually are, connected to the systems that keep your business running without you having to think about them. I stay involved after launch because a website is not a finished product, it is a working part of your business.
If you want someone who cares as much about the outcome as you do, we will get along well.

The Old Way
Referrals bring the best clients. But what do people find when they search your name? A LinkedIn profile. An old website. Or nothing at all?
The New Way
Our Process




We examine your business in detail to best serve you and your clients.
Our Work
We think most agency websites fail their clients.
Not because of bad design. Because they stop at design.
A beautiful website that sits disconnected from your booking, your payments, your client journey, is a brochure. It looks good and does very little. The businesses we work with do not need a brochure. They need something that works.
Every project we take on is built as a complete system. The website, the infrastructure behind it, the experience a client has from the moment they find you to the moment they book. We think about all of it.
That is a harder thing to build. It takes longer, costs more, and requires us to understand your business properly before we touch a single page. We are fine with that. It is the only way we know how to do it well.
How It Works
The whole journey, mapped out, so you know exactly what you're signing up for.
Audit call
We map out where your practice is losing time and clients, on a free 20-minute call.
Build
We build your website, booking and payments around how you actually work.
Launch
You're live and ready to take bookings, usually within 30 days.
Enquiries come in
Every enquiry lands in one place instead of scattered across email and DMs.
Clients book themselves
They pick a time and pay online. No back-and-forth.
Intake is handled
Consent and intake forms are done before they arrive, not filled in in the waiting room.
You get on with therapy
Everything else runs quietly in the background, so your time goes where it should.
After Launch
A website that just sits there is a liability waiting to happen. Yours doesn't, because we keep running it long after launch.
Host
Your site stays online, properly, on infrastructure we manage end to end.
Monitor
We watch for problems before you'd ever notice them yourself.
Update
Security patches and platform updates happen in the background, automatically.
Improve SEO
We keep tuning how you show up in search, month after month.
Support
If something feels off, you reach a person, not a ticket queue.
This is what your monthly fee actually buys: ongoing operation, not maintenance insurance for a problem that might never happen.

Referrals are the best clients you will ever get. But when they look you up before booking, what do they find? A website built for therapists is not about finding new clients from scratch. It is about making sure the people who were already going to book you actually do.
You won't have to wonder whether you're handling client data properly. GDPR compliance is a legal requirement for anyone holding client data, not something anyone can sell you as an extra, and Karv handles it at the website, booking and admin layer: you own your domain, your Google Workspace and your booking system outright. The client organiser keeps session notes and client records in a structured, access-controlled system inside your own Google Workspace, referenced by client code rather than full name, never a shared drive. It's a lighter-weight setup than a dedicated EHR, so if your practice grows and you want something more robust, we'll help you move to a proper platform like Cliniko or Zanda, though there's no forced upgrade. Nothing is locked into a proprietary platform. If you ever leave, everything stays with you.
A professionally designed website that does what a therapy site should. A booking system connected to your calendar, so enquiries don't sit unanswered. Online payments so clients pay before the session, not after. A client organiser that keeps your client and session records GDPR-compliant and organised, right inside your own Google Workspace. And ongoing support after launch, because a website is a working part of your practice, not a finished product.
A website builder gives you a page that looks fine. What you actually need is a connected system that runs your practice: booking that syncs to your calendar, payments that clear before the session, intake forms that land in the right place, and a client organiser that keeps your admin out of your inbox. Free builders do not wire any of that together. We build the whole thing in one session so it works from day one, not after months of tinkering.
No. The system is built so that once it is set up, your only job is to show up and do the work. Bookings come in, clients pay, and your admin stays organised without extra effort on your part. We walk you through everything on a call and send you a video so you can refer back to it. If anything goes wrong, we are still here.
Most practices are fully set up and ready to accept bookings within 30 days of your strategy call.
Yes. You can pay €2,999 upfront and save over €600 versus the monthly plan. Both options are available at checkout.
Nothing is locked in. If you ever decide to move on, we'll email you a full zip file of your website so it goes with you. Hosting, maintenance and support are part of what your monthly fee covers, so those stop when you do, along with any add-ons you've added, like the client organiser or Pipeline. You keep your domain, your Google Workspace and your booking system either way, since those were always yours to begin with.
Not once you count what a one-off build leaves out. A one-off site, like our own simple website option, gets you a page that's live and yours from day one, but booking, payments, hosting, updates and support are still separate problems you have to find and pay for as they come up. The Standard plan bundles all of that into one price, so if a form breaks or a plugin needs updating, it's already covered rather than a new invoice. Priced out over three years, a one-off build plus the tools you'd add along the way lands in a similar range to the subscription. The difference is whether that money buys ongoing support from day one, or gets spent reactively, tool by tool, as problems come up.
Private Practice
A session that earns €30–50 on a platform is worth €80–120 when it's yours. Whether you're leaving BetterHelp, stepping off a directory, or starting from scratch, we handle the practical side so you don't have to: a website that gets you booked, payments that clear before the session, and a client organiser so admin doesn't pile up. All live within 30 days.
