Couples Intensive

Repair your relationship in just a few days with a private, customised Couples Intensive. Combining therapy and coaching, this immersive one-to-three-day experience offers immediate support, powerful breakthroughs, and lasting transformation.

What are Intensives?

Couples Intensives offer a focused and immersive alternative to weekly therapy, creating the space to work deeply on your relationship over one, two, or three days. Rather than spreading the work across months, we dedicate extended, uninterrupted time together, allowing us to stay with what is unfolding and move through it in the moment.

This concentrated format enables a deeper exploration of the patterns, emotions, and dynamics that can be difficult to reach in shorter sessions. Without the breaks between weekly meetings, the work often feels more immediate and integrated, supporting meaningful insight, emotional repair, and lasting change.

Many couples come to an intensive when they feel stuck, in crisis, or in need of a more focused reset. Others choose it as a way to invest more fully in their relationship. While the structure is more condensed, the pace remains thoughtful and contained, offering a supportive space to move forward with greater clarity, connection, and direction.

For many, the depth of work achieved in just a few days can be equivalent to several months of therapy. More than anything, an intensive is an investment in your relationship, your wellbeing, and your future together.

An Intensive may be right for you if:

  • You’re facing a crisis in your relationship and need immediate, focused support

  • You feel stuck in patterns that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy

  • You’re navigating a major life transition or decision and want clarity

  • You’d like to explore or heal deep relational wounds in a safe, contained space

  • Weekly therapy isn’t possible because of work, travel, or lifestyle demands

  • You want the depth of a retreat-like setting to strengthen or repair your relationship

Whether you are seeking clarity, healing, or a renewed connection, an Intensive offers the dedicated time and depth to move forward with intention.

A Couples Intensive typically includes a thorough assessment of your relationship, exploration of reactive patterns, and the practice of new skills to foster greater understanding, connection, and collaboration. The extended structure provides opportunities for both partners to feel deeply heard, to reflect, and to engage in guided exercises that open new pathways of relating.

  • Mini Intensive (4 hours): A half-day session that allows us to work deeply while still being manageable to schedule.

  • One, Two or Three-Day Intensives: Each day includes around five therapeutic hours within a six-hour block, with short breaks. A two-day intensive is roughly equivalent to 4 - 5 months of therapy, making it a highly efficient and transformative option.

Not every relationship can or should be reconciled, and part of our work may be to bring clarity to whether you move forward together or apart. In either case, the Intensive is designed to give you insight, tools, and direction.

The cost of a Couple Intensive is similar to 4–5 months of regular therapy, yet many couples choose it to accelerate progress and start living the change now. No couple I’ve worked with has ever regretted the investment — most come to see it not as an expense, but as a gift to each other and their family.

  • Mini Intensive - 4 hours – £600

  • One-day Couples Intensive: £900

  • Two-day Couples Intensive: £1,800

  • Three-day Couples Intensive: £2,700

The first step is an initial consultation (60 minutes, via Zoom or in person). This is an opportunity for us to meet, for you to ask questions, and for me to learn more about your situation. Together, we will decide whether a Couples Intensive is the most appropriate approach for you.

 

If you choose to proceed, we will schedule a date and confirm a venue. Intensives can take place in my private London practice, in a hired therapy space, or in a hotel setting. Many couples find that a neutral environment helps create the space needed for deeper reflection, connection, and change.

Ongoing Support

A Couples Intensive is designed to create significant movement in a relatively short period of time. For many couples, the intensive provides the clarity, understanding, and momentum needed to move forward with greater confidence and connection.

 

At the end of the intensive, we will review together what support, if any, may be helpful going forward. Some couples benefit from one or two follow-up sessions to help consolidate the work, while others choose occasional check-in sessions over the months that follow.

 

Sometimes the intensive highlights areas that would benefit from more regular support and skill development. This may include learning how to communicate more effectively, negotiate differences, make clear requests, repair relationship ruptures, strengthen boundaries, or build a more secure and connected relationship.

 

While I am often able to offer occasional follow-up sessions, my practice has limited capacity and I am not always able to provide ongoing weekly or fortnightly therapy. Where more regular support would be beneficial, I will be happy to discuss suitable options and, where appropriate, recommend trusted colleagues who can help you continue the work.

 

My commitment is to helping you identify the support that is most likely to serve your relationship well, whether that involves occasional follow-up sessions with me or ongoing work elsewhere.

Couples Intensives involve a significant investment of time, preparation, and emotional energy. To ensure that every couple receives the depth of attention and care that this work requires, I offer a limited number of Couples Intensives each year.

 

As a result, availability is often booked several months in advance and there may be a waiting list for preferred dates. If you are considering an Intensive, I encourage you to arrange an initial consultation as early as possible so that we can explore whether this approach is right for you and discuss potential availability.

 

While I always do my best to support couples navigating a relationship crisis, immediate availability cannot always be guaranteed. Limiting the number of Intensives I undertake allows me to remain fully present with each couple and to offer the focused, high-quality support that meaningful and lasting relational change requires.

 

The first step is an initial consultation (60 minutes, via Zoom or in person). This is an opportunity for us to meet, for you to ask questions, and for me to learn more about your situation. Together, we will decide whether a Couples Intensive is the most appropriate approach for you.

All relationships go through a natural flow of connection, disconnection, and repair. For many couples, there is too much disconnection, too little connection, and not enough of the skills needed for repair.
