Intensive Couple Therapy process

Step 1 – In take phase

Before embarking on our Intensive Couple Therapy journey, we’ll begin with a thorough intake process to identify issues, explore both your individual histories and the dynamics of your partnership. This comprehensive assessment will help us pinpoint areas for growth and set specific outcome goals for our work together.

  • 1 x 90min Intensive Couple Therapy Intake session
  • 2 x Relationship Check-Up questionnaires – to be filled at home by each partner
  • 2 x 60m Individual session with each partner
  • 1 tailored made Intensive Therapy Program based on the specific needs of both partners

Step 2 – Intensive Therapy phase

Over the course of two full consecutive days, we’ll engage in focused sessions where I’ll provide specific interventions to support your relationship in moving forward based on the issues identified in the intake process. In general, we will address unresolved issues, learn new skills, and lay the foundation for a stronger, more resilient partnership.

  • Day 1: 4x 90min session. During each break a variety of tea, coffee and home-made sweet treats will be provided.
  • Day 2: 4x 90min session. During each break a variety of tea, coffee and home-made sweet treats will be provided.

Step 3 – Follow-up phase

Following our Intensive Therapy sessions, we’ll schedule four follow-up sessions to help solidify the changes made during our work together. These sessions are progressively spaced out from two to eight weeks and are designed to support you in applying the skills learned during Intensive Couple Therapy to your everyday life. This “fade” phase ensures the longevity of the changes made and helps to prevent relapse, setting you and your partner on a path towards lasting relationship success.

  • 4 (or more, as needed) x 60min session over the following 6 months
