It is very telling for me that you say; I’d like to start a couple therapy, and not we would like.
I am a retired psychotherapist. Sorry for being picky.
you can try here for a therapist. search for therapists that specialise in couples therapy:

This is the best one for sure. But I would say that.
The Metanoia Institute.

Do avoid any online therapy.
People are more than a face on a screen. How do online therapists see involuntary body movements and body responses during the therapeutic session. They dont!
Sorry, did you mean to say that the Metanoia institute is the best one?
Hello Leax
I did recommend them.
However, I am very biased because I did a lot of training there in the late 90's.
I have always found that therapists trained at the Metanioa Institute to be a little more exacting in their approach to therapy.
I have a look at their training process.
One of the original founders of the Metanoia Institute was Petruska Clarkson. unfortunately she passed away in 2006. I first met her on a training day where she was teaching protective identification.
she has written many fabulous books about Transactional Analysis and Gestalt.
