Hello there, I hear you. I understand how difficult it must be when you are finding marriage a little difficult. Let me tell you that you have taken the right step reaching out for help. Most people do not realise that their relationship needs a little professional help and it is a great thing that you have!
A relationship works the best when both individuals are willing to put in equal efforts into the relationship. So it would be the best if you could have a discussion with your husband and let him know that it would make a great difference if he comes for therapy too. However, it is not possible to force an individual into therapy, because to see results the person should be able to consciously invest their time and effort into working on their specific concern. So one thing you can do is to discuss the situation with your husband and ask him if he can accompany you for the consultation and look at what it is like.
If your husband is willing to come with you, relationship counselling and couples therapy would be a great choice for you. The time period for which the couples therapy might continue changes according to the type of concern. It could be between 1-3 sessions for short term therapy and 12-24 sessions for long term therapy.
If your husband is not willing to take professional mental health support, you can always go for relationship counselling individually. Do not feel disheartened that your husband is not willing to come for therapy, you consulting a therapist may also have a significant positive effect on your marriage.The psychologist will be able to look into your specific concerns, and help you manage stress and points of friction in your marriage and other aspects of your life,better. The professional will be able to guide you and help you figure out habits that you can change and things you can do from your part to make marriage a little easier and also ensure that your mental health is taken care of in the long run. You may not be able to change the world, but you can always take care of you and that is the best part!
Stay strong, good things are coming your way!

Marital Counselling is what you are needed. But if you feel that you need Professional help to handle your situation in much mature way. Then dont force your Husband for counselling now. First you can consult a psychologist and understand your present mind set and then think of the next step

Initially you can get a session of individual counselling after analysing your issues and concerns. The therapist will decide whether you and your husband both need marriage counselling or not.

You can start with individual counselling (as your husband is not keen on seeing a counsellor currently) and see how that benefits you. If required over time move to relationship counselling where both of you attend together.
Next Steps
You can contact me to schedule a session
Health Tips
At this point of time no point in pushing your husband for couples counselling as consent is required. He needs to attend with an open mind. That can be the second step.

Dear human, thank you for sharing and reaching out. Firstly, I appreciate you for seeking help, it takes strength and courage. The type of counseling that you wanna opt for totally depends on your present issues/troubles.
If the issues are solely related to your relationship/your partner, then it's advisable to seek couples therapy. That is if the root cause of the your issues is your relationships, that it's useful to seek couples therapy.
But if your individual issues are leading to your relationship troubles, it is advisable to seek individual therapy. But either way couples therapy would help to enhance mutual understanding, communication and love.
As the lead relationship and couples counselor, I would be glad to help you in this. I also deal with individual concerns, and thus please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Next Steps
Please book an appointment with me via practo, as we go about discussing your concerns and could finalize what type of therapy is needed for you.
Hope this helps :) Take care.

Description given is very short. It depends upon the type of issues you are facing whether you are require counseling or you both require counseling. If it is relationship issues it is good to have both but if it is your personal issues like anger etc than you can take counseling. Counseling at early stage always helps. Looks like you are under-weight, do you have any health issues?
Health Tips
Can contact for online or in-person consultation

Hello
When two people share their life together,there are many instances that both of them don’t agree too due which many a times there are lot of indifferences between the two .You can always sit down and talk to your husband about the issues your facing .As you have noticed that you need to talk to some one who can understand you I suggest you take counselling session first. In Martial Counselling generally sessions are taken individually and then couple counselling session happens .
Next Steps
Good sign is that you are willing to get help ..please do so.Counselling will definitely help you .
Health Tips
Start focusing on your physical and mental health.
Get involved in some type of physical activity.
