I have been both patient and helper, and your problem is very common. Therapists are human, and sometimes two people are just not a good fit. It doesn't make the therapist "bad" or the patient "difficult." Still, I understand how this can seem like a thorny, "no-win" situation.

I once saw a counselor I did not get along with, and I suspect the feeling was mutual. Somehow we didn't meet each other's expectations. I didn't want to seem like a jerk, so I played along for another session or two and then started saying I was too busy to come in anymore, felt much better, etc. In retrospect I think I chickened out.

If you have a trusted friend, perhaps you could craft a message and then practice delivering it gently. I'm sure that as an actor you know a million different ways to say something, and some will be more suitable than others.

He or she may be relieved, upset, indifferent, angry, or any combination of the above. You can't control your therapist's reaction, but you can be proud of yourself for doing something to improve the relationship. Good luck.
