Any suggestions for a good counselor for parents?

Hi all

Could anyone recommend a good counselling service - preferably online - to give me advice/ talk through which parenting strategies to employ to navigate the world we seem to be entering with DS coming to the end of primary school and recieving sexualised messages from his peers about girls in the class etc. Ideally I'd like to talk to a professional how best to navigate this.

I am concerned that talking to the parents I know will not lead to anywhere much constructive as in my experience most have their head in the sand, don't want to know or downplay it as normal as boys grow up. At this point I am simply not prepared to just shrug my shoulders and accept it's a normal way to speak about girls in their class at age 11. I'm happy to discuss anything puberty related which of course he says he finds disgusting. In short, would love some advice how to navigate all this.

Good book recommendations also welcome but would prefer to talk things through with someone who knows their stuff. Many thanks in advance.
