You do not need to explain everything.

"I would like to book a first session" is enough. Write only what you are comfortable with. You can tell me the rest when we speak, or in two weeks, or never!

Before you write

I am not a crisis service. I read emails Monday to Thursday 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 or two is plenty, and there is no need to go into great detail about your health at this stage. We can talk about all of that when we speak.

However suits you

Email
