Psy-copy®: copywriting psychology for brands, marketers & UK copywriters
Could your words be more persuasive?
The answer is yes. I’m certain.
Copywriting and content writing can be a confusing time-eraser.
And yet 92.3% of marketing messages are flavourless, forgettable and sigh-inducing.
But you need a way to stand out.

How to use psychology in copywriting? (from a UK copywriter)
Find irresistible words that make your buyers’ mouths water.
Because how you talk (and write) about your work is just as important as what you actually do.
The juiciest words nudge your buyers towards smart decisions. They also help YOU feel confident and powerful.
When psychology meets copywriting, you get a mighty messaging mixup.
Psy-copy®
Because what you understand about people and behaviour far outweighs anything you learn in marketing school.
Yes, I’ve invented my own word. Psy-copy®. Trust me, it’s a thing.
Think of it as a cosy nook where a behavioural scientist, psychologist and copywriter catch up for coffee.
Big global brands have applied this smart science to their verbal branding for years.
But many business owners are still missing their golden opportunity to do the same.
You don’t have to do any big budget research. All the big brand science is visible and searchable. And if you let me help you apply it to your brilliant business, you can turn your buyers into wise, well-informed decision-makers.

Psy-copy® is the answer: the power of copy psychology turns your big ideas into persuasive words
Why do our brains mainly act on instinct and emotion?
Because it’s quicker, more predictable and takes less energy. But it’s not always logical.
So would it help to know how to nudge buyers into action, by appealing to their instincts and emotions? Would it move you forward if you knew how to create brainy content that cuts through the ambient noise online?
No more bland, ignorable word salad. As a UK copywriter, I’ll help you write like a human. To turn sigh-copy into psy-copy®.
