DIY relationship counselling?

Just that really...has anyone managed to sort out relationship issues themselves? We really need to go to counselling but obviously no counsellors are open at the moment. There's nothing too urgent, (no abuse or anything similar), but ongoing communication issues and negative patterns which have come to the fore being stuck at home together all day every day. Is there like a book or online course we could work through together? We;'re both intelligent, sensible people who are both up for working on this together.

You absolutely can get counselling. You have teens and a MIL who could presumably help with childcare. You can go sit in your car on the phone.

My therapist has been seeing me the past few weeks. We sit socially distanced in her garden and it’s been lovely.

Thanks everyone, We will look for local counsellors and see who’s available for face to face.
