​

A Couples Intensive offers something traditional weekly counselling cannot: protected, uninterrupted time to understand what is happening in your relationship and work through it without having to stop just as you begin reaching the heart of the issue.

 

Rather than spreading the work across many short appointments, we create a concentrated program around your relationship, your availability and the changes you are hoping to make.

 

More time. More depth. A program designed around you.

 

This is not a standard package that every couple moves through in the same way. Before we begin, I take time to understand your relationship, the concerns bringing you in and what each of you hopes will be different.From there, I design an intensive that reflects your specific needs. The length and structure of the program, the areas we prioritize and the work completed between sessions are all thoughtfully planned during the consultation process.

 

Our time may include understanding the patterns that have developed between you, exploring the individual experiences each of you brings into the relationship and identifying the changes needed for both partners to feel more secure, connected and understood.

 

Because we have extended time together, we can move beyond managing the latest disagreement and work more fully with what continues to create distance between you.

 

What is included?

 

Depending on the program we design, your Couples Intensive may include:

 

• Individual consultations and relationship intake

• Consecutive extended couples sessions

• A personalized plan for our time together

• Individualized exercises and work between sessions

• Practical tools to continue using at home

• A plan for follow-up support after the intensive

 

Each part of the program has a purpose. The goal is not to fill several hours with conversation, but to use that time strategically and make the work focused, meaningful and productive.

 

Who is this program for?

 

A Couples Intensive may be a good fit when you both recognize that something needs to change and are prepared to give the process your time and attention.

 

It can be especially valuable for couples who feel stuck in a long-standing pattern, are facing an important decision or transition, need dedicated time to address a significant relationship concern or have found that weekly sessions do not allow them to reach the depth they need.

 

This work asks for honesty, vulnerability and participation from both partners. There may be difficult conversations, but there will also be space for insight, connection and even moments of humour. You will be supported and guided throughout the process.

 

An intensive is not appropriate for every relationship or every circumstance. The consultation process allows me to assess whether this format is clinically appropriate and likely to support both partners effectively.

 

Scheduling and investment

 

Couples Intensives are scheduled according to the amount of time your relationship requires, your availability and the availability in my clinical schedule.

 

Following our consultations, I will recommend a program structure and provide you with the complete schedule, cost and booking terms. Because several extended appointments are reserved exclusively for you, space for Couples Intensives is limited.

 

How do we begin?

 

The first step is for each partner to consider whether they are ready to participate meaningfully in the process.

 

Once you reach out, I will arrange an individual phone consultation with each of you. These conversations give both partners an opportunity to speak openly, ask questions and help me understand what you would like support with.

 

If we agree that an intensive is the right fit, we will choose the program structure and dates, review the booking agreement and secure your time. You will then each receive an intake form so I can begin preparing for our work before the first extended session takes place.

 

Give your relationship the time it deserves.

 

A Couples Intensive is an opportunity to step away from the distractions and time limits of everyday life and give focused attention to the relationship you are trying to understand, repair or strengthen.

 

If you are ready to explore whether this program is right for you, I invite you to book a consultation.
