5 Months of Couples Therapy in 2 Days
Heal and Transform Your Relationship

Intensives allow for deeper work in a shorter time. Partners can make quick progress in resolving their situation. The process allows for focus and momentum which support the healing process. 

First, couples are guided to explore their negative interactions and the root causes of issues. Then they can expect in-depth discussions about their relationship. They also learn how to bring safety in their relationship by adopting skill-building exercises and conflict-resolution practice. 

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples understand emotional patterns and build secure bonds. Imago Relationship Therapy to support couples in their Dialogues and to help them understand the purpose of their relationship in terms of growth and healing.  Gottman Method’s tools to help them resolve conflict and Internal Family System (IFS) for individual therapy. 

Each partner's needs and concerns will be explored separately during the 2-day intensive. We use a mix of joint and individual work. This helps address personal situations that impact the relationship.

• Couples who are on the brink of divorce. 

• Couples who want to stop their cycle of arguing. 
  

• Couples who want to repair and reconnect after infidelity.
  

• Couples who have lost emotional and physical intimacy and want to reconnect.

• Couples that have tried other couples counselling and are not satisfied.
  

• Couples who want to have a good start before getting married.
  

• Couples who do not share the same goal for counselling (i.e. one partner wants to stay in the relationship and is considering separation/divorce). In this situation, we do weekly sessions of Discernment Counselling to help you decide how to proceed with your relationship

• Couples who are experiencing ongoing violence. Individual work will be preferred.
  

• Couples where a partner has an ongoing and untreated substance abuse problem
  

• Couples where a partner is having an ongoing affair.

The intensives are generally held Dubai, in a convenient location with access to coffee shops. 

Depending on your needs, a 3-day intensive might be more suited. We can discuss this during the introduction call.

There are no guarantees with any treatment, but the 2-day intensive will give you ample opportunities and tools to deepen and strengthen your relationship.  In addition, we will talk about follow-up work with myself or another couples therapist to help integrate the process of the intensive into your everyday life and make sure it sticks!

Yes! You get a 2-hour follow-up Zoom call 10 days after the intensive (included in the fees).During the call we will look at:
‍
-Your progress and how you are keeping on track of your goals.
-How well you are using your new tools
-How to address setbacks or new issues.

We will discuss how you can get further support with myself or another couples therapist who is working with one of the modalities you will be familiar with. 

Further scheduled follow-up sessions can be discussed if needed to address issues and stop them from becoming too big to overcome. Additionally, you may be interested in joining the Hold Me Tight Workshop.
