For psychologists and counsellors
How do you protect client confidentiality?+
Forms collect the minimum, consent is purpose-specific, reminders avoid sensitive wording, and mental-health information is treated as special personal information under POPIA.
Who checks the copy against the rules?+
Every page and post runs through our rule-based checker, then a human review. On Growth OS plans, public content is also reviewed by a registered healthcare professional before publishing. Brand Experts' founder is an HPCSA-registered physiotherapist. Final responsibility for your advertising stays with you as the registered practitioner.
Is this legal advice?+
No. We apply the published council rules in plain language and cite them. Where a rule is open to interpretation we mark it for review by an ethics specialist and choose the cautious option.
How fast can we go live?+
Website plans go live within 24 hours of your answers and payment, or your first month is free. Growth OS onboarding takes about two weeks.
Can we cancel?+
Yes. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee on the monthly fee. Website plans have a 12-month term; Growth OS is month to month.
