How do I find a counsellor ?

[KangarooKenny]

I think I need to speak to someone. I’ve been having doubts about my marriage for a couple of years now, but I can’t talk to him. I’d like to run my thoughts past someone to see if I’m being unreasonable, to see if it’s just peri menopause causing it.
It would be good if I could eventually bring him along to discuss things with someone there, to give me confidence.

You could start with the BACP website. Look at your area, give a few a call to see if you click? Typically your counsellor will be for you alone, I don't think they will then morph into couple counselling, as they would already have a relationship with you.

Thanks.

Counselling directory is great as you can put your postcode in so you can find one closest to you

The counsellors have to have BACP registration/UKCP registration to join

Hi - there are a number of directories that you can search - BACP, Counselling Directory and Psychology Today all have a search facility.

If you are thinking about seeing a counsellor together in the long term, then you would need to find a counsellor who is trained to work with couples.

Hi , you have probably got yourself sorted out with a counsellor already but I saw a brilliant woman in Sevenoaks called Caroline Watson. She literally saved our marriage.
I also sent a friend to see her who was struggling with self confidence, imposter syndrome and lack of direction. She’s now gone back to work as a lawyer - balancing work and kids. There are good counsellors out there, it’s just about finding the right ones. I interviewed 4 before I found Caroline.
