Marathon Couples Therapy
Marathons and Intensives.
Marathon Couples Therapy is an effective and intensive approach to relationship counselling which involves compressing traditional weekly or fortnightly sessions into a full day of therapy.
Each Marathon Therapy Day allows couples to attend at our practice from approximately 9-3pm, and work with their therapist in the Gottman Method and along the treatment plan devised through their Relationship Assessment, to address concerns and get their relationship back on track, vibrant and fulfilling, as soon as possible.
Intensive Therapy Sessions are bookings of 2.5-4 hours of couples therapy, utilised for assessment or therapy sessions.
Couples are encouraged to complete at least two Marathon Therapy Days, following their Relationship Assessment which can be completed first as an Intensive Therapy Session, in traditional weekly sessions or via a written assessment, prior to attending.
