No problem. I am the same way. Useless at verbally expressing myself correctly, but brilliant at writing! It's a bit of a pain in the backside, haha.
As well as writing the letter, why not write down what you want the session to be about? A basic plan on what you want to discuss? It may help you keep on track! Yes, you should tell your therapist that you don't want it to stay on record as you feel it is private and confidential. Something that's just between you and him. He should respect that, unless your life is in danger which I don't think it is in this case?

I think I will take you up on that. I have first sent him an email asking him if I can retain the copies of anything I write. Don't want anything to end up in a file for court.
