Building a solid and healthy relationship requires time, effort, and commitment. While weekly therapy sessions can be incredibly beneficial for couples seeking to improve their connection, only some have the flexibility to commit to regular appointments. That’s where Couples Intensives come in.
These focused, immersive sessions offer an opportunity to delve deeper into emotionally focused therapy (EFT) work without needing ongoing weekly sessions. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Couples Intensives can benefit your relationship and why they might be the perfect option for you.
What are Couples Intensives?
Couples Intensives are extended therapy sessions designed to provide intensive, concentrated support to couples in a shorter timeframe.
These sessions are typically last three to five hours and can be scheduled as half-day or full-day sessions, depending on your needs and preferences.
Couples work during these intensives to deepen their emotional connection.
Why Choose Couples Intensives?
Dive Deeper
Unlike traditional weekly therapy sessions, Couples Intensives offer an opportunity to dive deeper into the underlying issues affecting your relationship.
With extended time together, you can explore complex emotions, patterns of communication, and past experiences that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection.
Efficient Use of Time
For couples with busy schedules or logistical challenges, there may be other options than weekly therapy appointments.
Couples Intensives allow you to make significant progress in less time, making them ideal for couples who want to prioritise their relationship without committing to ongoing weekly sessions.
Intensive Focus
During a Couples Intensive, the focus is solely on your relationship and its unique dynamics.
You can address specific challenges, set goals, and develop strategies for positive change in a concentrated timeframe.
Accelerated Progress
The immersive nature of Couples Intensives often leads to accelerated progress and breakthroughs in understanding and connection.
By dedicating several hours to focused therapy, couples can experience meaningful shifts in perspective and behaviour more quickly than traditional weekly sessions.
Flexible Options
Couples Intensives offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to choose the session length and format that best fits your needs. Whether you opt for a half-day session or a full-day retreat, you can tailor the experience to suit your preferences and availability.

Additionally, Couples Intensives may not be appropriate for couples dealing with specific issues or challenges that require ongoing, long-term therapy or specialised treatment. Please determine if Couples Intensives is the right fit for your relationship by consulting:
