Hi. Our marriage has hit breaking point due to the issues surrounding the adult children from DH first marriage.
I'm not sure I'm even allowed to ask on here but can anyone recommend a couples therapist who specialises in blended families?

I'm not in the UK so I don't have a UK recommendation.
Good luck and don't forget to take care of you.

Thank-you Rags
Make sure you, and I mean you
Make sure you, and I mean you alone, interview therapists before committing. The reason I say this is because if a therapist has not received specific education and training in blended family dynamics, they can actually make things worse. Ask me how I know.

Great Resource
Dr. Amy JL Baker is an expert in Parental Allienation and toxic step families. Her website has tons of resources. She does phone consults also so that might be an option for you even being in the UK.

I wish you the best. My marriage almost ended due to adult SKs but thankfully, DH and I got into counseling and today, we are doing well. Pray the same for you.
Thank-you!
I'll certainly look into this and I'm so pleased things are better for you now
