Online couples counselling recommendations?

Can anyone please recommend a good counsellor/therapist who works online with couples? Just need to get out of low level arguments and non-co-operation. Face to face isn't an option for us due to DH knowing them all locally.

I'd be interested to hear whatever you are willing to share about your experiences. Many thanks.

Whilst this counsellor is a friend of mine, I’m recommending her because I know her clients have given her glowing feedback rather than to tout her practice - I have other counsellor friends who I’m not going to recommend! www.anandoemryss.com

However, even she feels that online counselling isn’t necessarily a substitution for in-person, particularly when you’re beginning the process and becoming familiar with both it and the new therapist, as their can be a disconnect; particularly if you’re not a particularly confident user of video call.

Is there no way you can travel even a little outside of your area? He can’t know that many counsellors personally, surely?? Are you certain he isn’t using this as an excuse to frustrate finding one, as he’s reluctant to start counselling in the first place?

Thank you. Yes I appreciate face to face is probably better but we're used to screens and can barely find the time for the sessions let alone travelling on top. Probably more discomfort than reluctance but yes, it's easier to take the path of least resistance.

I'm bumping this in the hope of more recommendations. Something like an online conflict resolution workshop would be cool. Just need to find a way to stop having the same argument daily.
