Let’s start a conversation

You don’t have to know exactly what to say

If you’ve been thinking about counselling, making that first contact can be difficult.

You might know exactly what’s troubling you.

Or you might simply know that something isn’t right.

You don’t need to have the answers before you get in touch.

You don’t need to write a long explanation.

And you don’t have to commit to counselling just because you contact me.

We can start with a conversation.

Get in touch

You can contact me by email or telephone.

Email: lgcounsellingcoaching@gmail.com

Telephone: 07973 349569

I aim to respond to enquiries within 24 hours.

If you prefer, you can use the contact form below.

What happens when you contact me?

1. You get in touch

Tell me as much or as little as you’re comfortable sharing.

You could simply write:

“I’m thinking about counselling and would like to know more.”

That’s enough.

2. We have an initial conversation

We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to counselling, what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right person to help.

You can ask questions too.

3. You decide what feels right

There’s no pressure to continue.

If we both feel that counselling could be helpful, we’ll arrange a first session.

Worried about the cost?

Please don’t assume that counselling is out of reach.

I believe that financial hardship shouldn’t become another burden for someone who is already struggling.

I offer a flexible affordability scale for people who would find my standard fee difficult to manage.

If cost is stopping you from getting in touch, please talk to me.

You don’t need to feel embarrassed or judged.

We’ll see what might be possible.

A note about confidentiality

Information you provide when making an enquiry will be treated respectfully and in accordance with my professional and legal responsibilities.

Counselling itself is confidential within the appropriate professional and legal limits. These will be explained to you before or when counselling begins.

If you need urgent help

This website and my contact details are not an emergency or crisis service.

If you are in immediate danger, believe you may harm yourself or someone else, or need urgent medical assistance, please contact 999 or attend your nearest A&E department.

If you need someone to talk to urgently, you can contact Samaritans on 116 123, free of charge, 24 hours a day.

If you’re concerned about someone else and believe there is an immediate risk to their safety, seek urgent help rather than waiting for a response to this website enquiry.

You don’t have to wait until things get worse

You don’t need to know exactly what you need.

You don’t need to know whether counselling will work.

And you don’t need to have the right words.

You can simply start with a conversation.
