Couples intensives
Deep healing for high-achieving couples
Couples intensives offer a concentrated, immersive therapeutic experience for partners who are ready to do deep, meaningful work on their relationship in a compressed timeframe. If you and your partner have been cycling through the same painful arguments, feeling more like co-managers of a household than lovers, or standing at the crossroads of staying together or walking away: you're not alone, and there is another way. I created my Deep Healing Couples Intensive for high-achieving couples who have poured everything into their careers and families, only to realise that their most important relationship has been quietly unravelling beneath the surface.
Couples intensives are available online worldwide; they are remarkably effective in this format and many couples prefer the comfort and privacy of their own space. For those who are drawn to a more immersive, in-person experience, intensives can also be held on location in South East Asia with advance notice and prior application. Whether we meet on screen or in person, this work is designed to go far deeper than weekly sessions ever could; giving you and your partner the uninterrupted time and focused attention your relationship truly deserves.
Who are my couples intensives for?
I designed my Deep Healing Couples Intensive for partners who are driven, successful by every external measure, and yet privately struggling in the one relationship that matters most. You may be executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, or professionals who are used to solving complex problems; but the strategies that serve you so well at work simply don't translate to your intimate relationship.
Perhaps you've been together for decades and built an impressive life on the outside, while inside you feel lonely, disconnected, and unsure whether your partner truly knows you anymore. Maybe you've experienced a betrayal that shattered your sense of safety, or you've simply grown apart and the thought of continuing this way is no longer acceptable. Couples intensives are also ideal for partners who have tried weekly therapy and found it frustrating: spending most of each session catching up rather than getting to the heart of the matter.
I welcome all couples, including LGBTQ+ partners, those in consensually non-monogamous relationships, blended families, and couples navigating complex life transitions. What matters most is your willingness to show up, do the work, and be honest about what needs to change.
My approach to couples intensives
My therapeutic approach draws from several evidence-based modalities that I weave together based on what your relationship specifically needs; because no two couples are the same and a one-size-fits-all programme simply doesn't create lasting change.
Brainspotting
Is a powerful modality for processing trauma and deep emotional pain within the context of your relationship. Many of the patterns that show up between you and your partner have roots in much earlier experiences; Brainspotting allows us to access and heal those deeper layers in ways that traditional talk therapy often cannot.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Helps you and your partner understand the protective "parts" within each of you that drive reactive behaviour. That critical voice during arguments, or the impulse to shut down when things get emotional: these are protective responses. IFS helps you access the more vulnerable layers beneath these defences so you can relate to each other from genuine understanding rather than reactivity.
Relational Life Therapy (RLT)
Is a direct, compassionate approach that focuses on helping both partners take radical responsibility for their contributions to the relationship's struggles. It cuts through blame and defensiveness while remaining deeply caring and honest.
What to expect before, during, and after your intensive
Before your intensive: The process begins with a complimentary consultation call where we discuss your relationship, your goals, and whether an intensive is the right fit. If we move forward, you'll each receive a workbook to complete beforehand. This allows us to hit the ground running rather than spending valuable session time on background information.
01
During your intensive: We either meet entirely online or on location in South East Asia. The extended format allows us to move through multiple layers of your relationship: addressing surface-level conflicts, uncovering deeper patterns, and building new ways of connecting. Expect the experience to be interactive, emotionally engaging, and at times challenging. I bring a directive but caring style, and I will guide you toward the conversations that matter most.
02
After your intensive: You'll leave with concrete tools, insights, and homework to continue the healing process. I remain available for contact between sessions when needed, and I offer optional AI note-taking add-ons so you can revisit key moments from your session. Many couples choose to schedule follow-up sessions to maintain momentum and keep building on their progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Couples intensives are extended sessions lasting significantly longer than traditional appointments. The exact duration depends on your situation and goals, which we'll discuss during your consultation call.

Intensives can be held online very effectively; many couples find this format ideal, especially when juggling demanding schedules or different time zones. For those who prefer an in-person experience, intensives can also be held on location in South East Asia with advance notice and prior application.
-
After your free consultation call, you'll each receive a workbook to complete before your intensive. This covers your relationship history and the areas where you feel most stuck, allowing us to use your time together as productively as possible.

My intensives integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). I draw from each modality based on what your relationship needs, creating a fully personalised experience.
-
Many couples who come to me are at a critical crossroads. An intensive can provide the clarity and emotional processing you need to make an informed decision about your future; whether that means recommitting or parting ways with greater understanding.
-
You'll receive specific tools and homework to continue the work. I remain accessible for follow-up contact, and many couples schedule periodic check-in sessions to maintain momentum.
-
Ideally both partners are willing to engage, though it's common for one to be more enthusiastic initially. What matters most is that both are willing to show up and be open to the experience.
-
Unlike retreats or workshops that involve group settings and generalised content, a couples intensive is a private, one-on-one therapeutic experience tailored entirely to your relationship. Every moment is focused exclusively on you and your partner.

Pricing begins from £3,500 GBP for online intensives and from £5,500 GBP for in-person intensives in South East Asia. To discuss your goals and find the right format for you, please get in touch via my contact page. Taking that first step is often the hardest part, and I'm here to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Taking the first step
If you've read this far, something in your relationship is telling you it's time for a change. Perhaps you've been thinking about it for months. Perhaps you've tried other approaches that haven't worked. Or perhaps you're simply ready to invest in your partnership with the same commitment and seriousness you bring to everything else in your life.
I'd love to hear from you. Schedule a free consultation call and let's talk about where things stand, whether an intensive is the right fit, and what the process looks like.
