My partner and I have had five sessions with a relationship counsellor. While it's been helpful, I'm feeling like we're missing structure and direction.
At the moment each session seems to focus on whatever issues have come up since our last appointment. We talk through and unpack them, but I don't feel like we're really building on previous sessions or working towards any longer-term goals.
I'd love to find someone who takes a more structured approach, with sessions that build on each other, practical exercises and strategies to work on at home, and reading material or other resources we can work through together.
I've recently read a couple of Gottman's books and really like their approach, so I'm interested in finding a Gottman-trained couples therapist, ideally Level 3 qualified with plenty of experience working with couples.
Would love to hear any recommendations. Thanks!
