Can anyone recommend a good marriage councelor/therapist in Sydney?

My husband and I are really struggling at the moment. For the most part he is a loving, caring, wonderful husband and father to our 5 month old son but he also has a really dark, destructive side to his personality that rears it's ugly head when we fight. He comes from a seriously emotionaly disfucntional family where there was alot of abusive (more verbal than physical) behaviour that he was exposed to. Consequently he has never learned to deal with his emotions in a healthy way and when I challenge him in a fight his natural reaction is to become defensive and aggressive and it becomes all about "winning' the fight for him no mater what the cost. He has agreed to go to counseling but I'm not sure where to start. I don;t want to just pick a name out of the white pages but would prefer to go to someone that has been recommended. I would love to hear anyones suggestions
