Question ❓ Couples therapist recommendations?
Hi all,
Does anyone have a good experience with an English speaking couples therapist they can recommend? Someone who actually made a positive impact on your relationship, or to you individually and might also work with couples.
Me and my partner have a few recurring patterns that we struggle with and want to work on, and have looked for therapists but got quite unlucky.
The first one cancelled our first appointment and said she would contact us to reschedule, then never did. A while later we booked a new appointment with her - she never showed and did not pick up her phone or respond to messages. She was recommended through a friend.
The second one had "psychologist" on her doctoranytime profile. I thought she was quite unprofessional and unorganised in her sessions, and eventually it turned out she wasn't a licensed psychologist, she was a "coach".
The third one, she is professional and friendly, but there are just no concrete tips on how to change the patterns we got stuck in, just none. I will bring this up in our next session and see how that develops.
But perhaps it makes more sense to look for a new one who is more hands on in giving concrete tips or exercises etc.
