I found my counsellor from a refferal from my doctor. That was helpful because there were about 5-6 counsellors/psycharists etc in the practice but the doctor had some idea about what each of their specialties were. Call up a practice and explain to them over the phone briefly what you want counselling for and they should be able to match you up. It may also be likely that your first appointment is slightly shorter and is more of a 'get to know you' type of appointment and at that point the counsellor may recommend someone who has had more experience in whichever area you are seeking help with.
The most important thing is that you can build a relationship with your counsellor so if you don't like them, dont be afraid to tell them that its not working and even ask for another refferal. A good therapist will understand and should be able to recommend someone.
