How do I find a good one?

Sorry you are having such an awful time. Would it be worth asking your child’s hcp to recommend someone? They might even have them attached to their service?

Many child health teams have a psychology service attached. Worth asking?

I don't think you necessarily need a psychologist as you aren't mentally ill just under immense stress. I think a counsellor would be sufficient as you sound like you just need someone to talk to and support you.
