Get in touch

You do not need to explain everything.

"I would like to book a first session" is enough. It is genuinely enough. You can tell me the rest when we speak, or in three weeks, or never.

Before you write

I am not a crisis service. I read email on weekday mornings and reply within two working days. If you need somebody sooner, please use the urgent help page, or phone 999 if there is immediate danger.

Keep this first message as short as you like — a sentence is plenty, and there is no need to go into detail about your health at this stage. We can talk about all of that when we speak.

However suits you

Email

hello@lamplightcounselling.example

Weekday mornings. Reply within 2 working days. This is a perfectly good way to do it and most people use it.

Phone

01786 000 000

Leave a message. I return calls Tuesday to Thursday afternoons. You never have to phone if you would rather not.

Availability

I am not able to take on new clients just now.

I'm on holiday.

Evening appointments Tuesday and Thursday.

Book online

I am not taking bookings directly just now. Email me and I will reply either way — if I am full I will say so straight away and suggest two other places to try.

What happens next

  1. You will hear back. If you booked a slot, the confirmation arrives straight away. If you emailed or phoned, I reply within two working days.
  2. Either way, we have the free fifteen minutes, by email or by phone, whichever suits you, to talk about what's going on and how I work.
  3. After that, either of us can say no. If it is a yes, we book a first session.
  4. If I am full, I will tell you straight away and suggest two other places to try.
