‍Three Ways to Transform your Relationship

Couples Intensive
Transformation Programmes
Couples Workshops

Intensive Couples Retreat  

Integrative Couples Therapy Intensive (ICTI)

6 Months of Couples Therapy in 3 Days

‍

Three consecutive days of immersive, focused work that achieves what months of weekly sessions often cannot. The most direct route to lasting change and renewed intimacy.

‍

This Is For You If:

  • Y‍ou are in a crisis and want significant progress in a short timeframe
  • You are stuck in a repetitive negative patterns and regular sessions have not helped
  • On the verge of separation, or recovering from infidelity.
  • Life commitments (children, work, travel) make weekly sessions difficult

Why Intensives?

Most people leave an intensive not just with a better relationship — but with a different relationship with themselves.

‍

Over three consecutive days of focused, uninterrupted work, something shifts that weekly sessions rarely reach. You begin to see the ways you have been protecting yourself — the patterns that made sense once, and are costing you now. And slowly, something softer becomes available.

‍

‍What do the Studies say?‍

Research published in Behaviour Research and Therapy found that couples who engaged in intensive therapeutic work showed significant improvements in how they communicated — both during the process and in the months that followed. The results are also endorsed by evidence based couple therapies modalities.

‍

One client described it this way:

"The compassion, the love, the softness — what I learned to lead with when it comes to my marriage, my husband, and myself — it can't be switched off. And I bring that everywhere. It changed me on so many levels."

What You Can Expect
In Couples Coaching:

We'll create a safe space where both of you can be heard without judgment. You'll learn to communicate in ways that bring you closer rather than pushing you apart. You'll understand the deeper emotions and needs driving your conflicts. And you'll develop practical tools to manage differences, repair after ruptures, and rebuild trust and intimacy.

‍

In our work together, you'll learn to:

  • Recognise your patterns before they escalate (who pursues, who withdraws, what triggers the cycle)
  • Communicate beneath the conflict—what you're really asking for
  • Repair effectively when things go sideways
  • Rebuild trust and emotional safety step by step
  • Turn toward each other instead of away
  • Create the partnership you both want

‍

Why Couples Coaching Requires Specialised Training:

Couples coaching isn't just individual coaching with two people in the room. It requires specialised training to work with the relationship system—not just two individuals.

‍

In working with couples, I focus on the relationship system—the patterns between you, not just what's happening within each individual. I help you understand how you trigger each other, how protective patterns play out, and how to break the cycles that keep you stuck.

‍

I draw from evidence-based couples approaches:

  • Relational Life Therapy (RLT) - A roadmap to rebuild intimacy
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - Understanding and reshaping the emotinal bonds‍
  • Imago Relationship Therapy - Exploring how your past shapes your present relationship patterns‍
  • The Gottman Method - Building friendship, managing conflict constructively, creating shared meaning‍
  • Discernment Counselling - When you're unsure whether to work on the relationship or separate

How it Works

What to Expect When Working With Me

Book a Free Call
Free Video Call:

Before we begin, you can book a complimentary 20-minute Zoom call. This is a relaxed space to discuss what's bringing you here, answer your questions, and see whether we're the right fit to work together. No pressure, no commitment—just an honest conversation about what you need and how I might be able to help.

Pre-Work:

Before our first session, I’ll send over a questionnaire to help me better understand your situation and then challenges you’re facing.  This will give you space to reflect and set the stage for deeper, more focused work from the very first meeting.

Booking & Scheduling

Once you receive your preparation email, you'll have access to my online booking system to schedule and manage your session timings. I can work with you online via Zoom or in person, depending on your location and preference.

Our Session

A blend of conversation, insight, and real change in your experience. Alongside emotional exploration, I'll share frameworks and tools you can use in everyday life. This isn't just about understanding—it's about building skills that create lasting change.

Client Library

Between sessions, your growth will be supported by an exclusive online collection of worksheets, guides, and resources.

In a Crisis?

Urgent Support Available

If you're in crisis or need to begin immediately, you can send me a message I will send you the link to book a first session directly without the preparation form.

We'll use that time to stabilize the situation and decide together what next steps will be most helpful.

Testimonials

What People Say

We were in a negative cycle of communication, constantly battling to be understood. Evelyne helped us  see each other’s perspective; we have more empathy and we communicate better.

T & J, Dubai

Evelyne was instrumental in helping me understand my own issues and trauma and understanding our cycle as a couple. I have never felt so understood or safe exploring our issues. I wholeheartedly credit Evelyne for helping us get to a loving and healthy place in our marriage and become more grounded as individuals.

S, Dubai

My work with you has been extremely supportive and helpful! It taught me to be more true to myself and my feelings, and to always remember that whatever my inner child went through does not define how the adult me should think or behave.

A. , Dubai

I decided to visit Evelyne on my own and worked on  healing my inner child and address some of the misbeliefs and insecurities from my childhood that are affecting me as an adult and influencing behaviour. As a result, I’m softer and more empathetic with my partner

Your Questions, Answered

Find answers to common questions about my practice, my approach, and how I can support you in living a more conscious and fulfilling life. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact me directly.

What is Mental Health & Relationship Coaching?

I provide Mental Health & Relationship Coaching to support couples or individuals, families or groups/teams.

What are your rates & are your fees covered by Insurance?

Please check my rates here. My fees are not covered by Insurance.

 Are sessions & Coaching confidential?

Yes, everything is confidential. Therapists and coaches are bound by ethical and legal obligations to protect your privacy. However, there are exceptions to confidentiality, such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.

Do you work only with married couples?

No, I work with any type of committed relationship, including dating, engaged, cohabiting, or married couples. My clients come from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds too. The focus is on improving the quality of the relationship and resolving conflicts.

When should a couple consider professional help?

Clients consult when they are facing challenges or conflicts that they cannot resolve on their own. Common reasons include communication problems, infidelity, trust issues, intimacy concerns, and frequent arguments. I also see couples who want to strengthen their relationship prior to getting married or clients who want to separate but don’t agree on the logistics nor parenting issues.

What to expect during couples sessions

During the first session, partners help me understand their current situation, their relationship history and how they've arrived where they are today. During subsequent sessions, partners uncover what they subconsciously bring to their relationship. I support them in their transformation goals. Gradually partners transform and connect emotionally. The goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for open emotional communication: 'The key to forever lasting change'. I follow a Structured Roadmap to Couple Counselling which is inspired by my extensive training in Couple coaching.

How many sessions do couples need?

The duration of our work varies depending on the complexity of the issues and the progress made. I have worked with couples who have seen improvement in a few sessions, and others who have benefited from longer term coaching. Some clients prefer to choose pay-as-you-go sessions, whereas others choose the commitment of a Transformation Programme.

What about if one of us is not sure about staying in the relationship?

If one of you is ambivalent about the relationship, we would work with Discernment Counselling (DC) so that you and your partner have the space to discuss your concerns. DC helps couples decide to 1. Stay in the Status Quo; 2. Quit the relationship or 3. Start Couple coaching.

Does couple coaching guarantee that our relationship will improve?

Couple coaching can be highly effective, but there are no guarantees. Success depends on the willingness of both partners to engage in the process, the severity of the issues, and the compatibility of the couple. It's essential to approach couple coaching with an open mind and a commitment to working on your relationship.

Still have questions?

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any concerns or questions. I’d be more than happy to hear from you.
