Dental, check-up & hygienist 0:00 / 1:10
Receptionist Good afternoon. Bridge Street Dental. How can I help?
Customer Hi there. I'd like to book a routine checkup and see the hygienist if possible as I'm a new patient.
Receptionist Perfect. I can absolutely arrange that for you. I've got next Tuesday afternoon available. Would 3 o'clock suit you?
Customer Yes. That sounds perfect for me. Thank you.
Receptionist Brilliant. I take your name and phone number, please?
Customer My name is James Okafor, and my number is 0 7 7 0 0 9 0 0 6 8 2.
Receptionist Thank you, James. So I've got you down for next Tuesday at 3 o'clock for a new patient exam with a hygienist. That's 45 pounds. And I'll text those details to 0 7 7 0 0 9 0 0 6 8 2. Does that all sound right?
Customer Yes. That's all correct. Thank you very much.
Receptionist Thanks so much. Goodbye.
Customer Goodbye.

Why counsellors and therapists lose work to the phone.

Counselling is often a weekly commitment over months. Answering that first enquiry warmly and quickly can make all the difference to someone reaching out.

You are in session, not by the phone

You are with a client and cannot break confidentiality or focus to answer. New enquiries go unanswered at exactly the moment they matter most.

The first step is fragile

Someone reaching out for the first time needs a warm, prompt reply. subba answers kindly, in your tone, and books the first conversation before the moment passes.

Weekly work needs steady rebooking

Counselling is usually a regular commitment. subba books recurring sessions and sends gentle reminders, so the work can continue.

How subba helps

A receptionist that never misses a call.

Answers in seconds, day or night

The moment a call, message or web enquiry lands, subba replies. While you are on the job, out of hours, at the weekend, it never rings out and never sleeps.

It actually books the appointment

This is not a message service. subba checks your real availability and books the customer straight into your diary, then sends the confirmation.

Sounds like you

It learns your services, your prices and your tone, so every reply reads like you wrote it, not a call centre. It talks like clinics & health customers expect.

Takes payment where you want it

For the jobs that need it, subba can take a deposit or full payment into your own Stripe when it books, so no-shows cost you nothing.

Most services take a message. subba books the job.

A call answering service jots down a name and number and hands it back to you to chase. subba checks your diary, books the appointment, takes the deposit and sends the confirmation, all before you have put your tools down. For counsellors and therapists, that is the difference between a lead and a booked job.

Questions

Counsellor FAQs.

Is it warm enough for people reaching out for help?

Yes. subba replies gently and in your voice, and its job is simply to book the first conversation with you. It never offers advice or counselling itself, it makes sure the person is heard and gets a time in the diary.

Can it book recurring weekly sessions?

It can book the intro call and set up a regular weekly slot, with gentle reminders, so the work can carry on without admin getting in the way.

How quickly can I get set up?

If you already have a website, subba plugs in with a one-line change and you can be live the same day. If you need a website, our Managed plan builds you a booking site and sets up your domain, usually live in about 5 working days.

What does it cost?

Plans start at £9.99 a month and every plan takes unlimited bookings. You only pay more as your enquiry volume grows. There is no setup fee unless you want us to build your website too, and you can cancel anytime.
