I offer an intensive version of my regular Gottman Method approach for couples. A great alternative for those who live out of town, cannot travel to Calgary on a weekly basis, or are seeking to fast track their progress. Intensives allow us to accomplish multiple sessions over the course of a few days. Couples that have experienced an intensive, and have also attended typical counselling sessions stated they would never have made the breakthroughs they did without being able to work through their issues in one extended sitting. They felt that by not being rushed, the needed comfort to share was built up as they went on in the sessions, and they felt a strong sense of trust and safety with the therapist.

 What does it involve?

We start by identifying the goals and intentions of the therapy process right from the start. I help you come to a compromise on your “gridlocked” issues: many times, couples do not always have the same aspirations, hopes or goals, yet they need to come to some sort of resolution. I do my best to honor both individuals’ hopes and dreams. My goal is to help you in accessing new strengths, learning new skills, and gaining new insights, which helps move you in the direction that you want your relationship to go.

Who would benefit?

Any couple who is experiencing relationship distress who feel they would benefit from longer extended sessions.

Any couple in distress who feel the need for urgent help and will be unable to schedule regular sessions over time due to demands on their own schedules such as work or travel work or travel.

 Who would Not be a Candidate?

See my article on who is ready or not for couples counselling.

How we book a couples intensive?

A 50% deposit is required at the time of booking, and the balance paid at the start of your first session. Due to my scheduling commitments, there is a 3-week cancellation policy. If you cancel 3-weeks prior to the start of your therapy, a full refund will be issued.

How are the sessions broken down?

On our first day we will all meet together, and then each partner will have the opportunity for an individual session as well. After that, I will meet with both partners and discuss the current state of your relationship, how it got there, and the establishment of a plan for moving you toward your goals. Once we believe that we are all on the same page, the therapy begins in earnest.
