Full Couple Therapy Retreats
Repair or revitalise your relationship with a full couple therapy retreat
Full Couple Therapy Retreats are private getaways to a scenic, secluded location, while focusing intensively on your relationship with the guidance of a highly skilled relationship therapist.
They are highly recommended for most couples seeking relationship counselling, marriage counselling or couples counselling.
Our Full Couple Therapy Retreats have been carefully designed to provide:
- enough therapy to enable most couples to make major positive changes in their relationship
- sufficient time between therapy sessions to assimilate the work, relax, and not feel overwhelmed
This is based on three years of experimenting with various retreat formats to determine which delivers the best results for clients.
Full Retreats are the only option we offer to new couple therapy clients, because of the number of therapy hours generally needed to make major progress.
Please note: Each retreat is provided exclusively for one couple (it is not a group activity).
