Not sure one of you can write a wishlist for couple's counselling outcome and say "make this happen"

Wouldn't it be more effective to talk between yourselves?

Relate would be a good place to start.

Is your husband keen to attend counselling?

Is he willing to engage in counselling too OP? If not, you are unlikely to get much out of it. You'd be better of seeing a counsellor alone to explore your options.

Getting counselling for yourself is a much better idea. Just Google counsellors near you and see who appeals, there are different styles of therapy so have a look into it.

If you just want someone to tell him he's wrong complain to his mom. That's not what counsellors do.

I would seek out counselling for yourself, you need to talk in both a calm and safe environment. He won’t give you that.

Look at the counselling directory and find someone who specialises in. Couples counselling

The counsellor will not soften your husband if this is what you are waiting for. I agree that cpu selling for you would be a better option.

I agree to look at counselling for yourself too. You can always have couples counselling as an add in after if your husband is engaged enough to try.
I am about to start as my husband didn't seem keen at all, but would if I wanted him to. I need him to want to though or he won't open up as communication is one of our big issues.
I am hoping that if I can find some personal resolutions and things to work on as an individual then it might lead to more productive couples counselling if we get to that point.
