MARATHON COUPLES THERAPY

Online Sessions

Are you looking for immediate and intensive support for your relationship?

Marathon Couples Therapy is an intensive therapeutic approach designed for couples facing urgent or deep-seated issues that need immediate attention. These sessions provide couple distress recovery in a condensed format, in which spouses spend 4 or more hours across 2 to 3 days with one of our experienced therapists to quickly uncover underlying problems and make meaningful healing progress.

By immersing themselves in this highly successful process, couples who are experiencing significant conflict, considering separation, or seeking rapid progress in their relationship are encouraged to work through pressing issues, learn new communication skills, and pave the way for a stronger, more resilient partnership. Throughout our Marathon Couples Therapy sessions, you and your partner will be able to communicate openly with each other under the care and guidance of a trained and highly Experienced therapist, and will learn how to:

  • Address and manage (we can never resolve all conflicts in relationships we learn to manage them well in fact only 30% of conflicts are resolvable and 70% are perpetual issues that come up research based fact and what I have seen in my practical experience too) conflicts within the relationship – including intimacy issues, trust issues, infidelity, personality and habits.
  • Recognise and manage ongoing challenges in the partnership – including workload, parental challenges and lifestyle differences.
  • Develop a shared understanding of the direction and purpose of the partnership.
  • Cultivate an appreciative, respective, and affectionate partnership.
  • Better understand each other as individuals, including the intentions behind actions and words.
  • Identify and overcome obstacles that hinder trust and commitment.
  • Boost the levels of connection and intimacy in the relationship.

If you find yourself at a crossroads in your marriage, or need assistance in navigating major life transitions, then work for a swift resolution and foster healing with our intensive Marathon Couples Therapy.

What are the benefits?

This form of therapy allows the couple to deep dive into their relationship, increase the awareness of their main issues, learn and practice new skills to improve it. You will have time to talk in depth about the struggles and challenges of the relationship, process past injuries that have never healed, and time to understand how these injuries have impacted the relationship. You will learn and practice new communication skills to help you have more productive conversations.

The therapist will provide a safe and judgment free environment for both partners. Couples who have experienced this form of therapy usually describe it as « life-changing » and transformative. This therapy is proven to reduce couples distress, increase intimacy to lead to a more resilient and happy relationship.

Common Questions

At MindNLife, our individualised sessions will allow you to share your concerns with a trained professional. Together you will work towards a solution that works for you and your family. Get in touch or take a look at the services we offer and our therapists’ credentials to find out if we can help.

This really depends on the service or treatment. Our therapy sessions usually last for 50 minutes, but may be left open-ended depending on the situation. Group sessions may also differ. We aim to meet face-to-face or online at least once a week for as many weeks as necessary – but again, this may vary. Your therapist will agree on timings that best suit you before you begin any treatment program. Of course, for those in need of more urgent attention, our therapists will make themselves available as soon as humanly possible. Contact us now to schedule a session.

Yes we do – but not all insurers cover every type of mental health care. Please check with your insurance provider if our care falls within your health insurance plan.

Absolutely. We abide by the strictest codes of ethics. Your trust and privacy is at the very core of any therapy. Without it our sessions would be ineffective. That being said, there are some exceptions to this golden rule, particularly if it is a question of safety and there is a serious risk of harming yourself or someone else.

You can call, email, or drop us a line here. We’ll do our best to get back to you within 24 hours.

This will depend on your therapist, the service and the length of your session. For rates or a quotation please contact us directly.

We will do our best to match you with the therapist who is trained and the right fit for you and your individual needs. Ultimately the right therapist is whoever you feel most comfortable talking to.

Usually when we’ve reached the goals we set out to achieve, your therapist will assess whether it is a good time for your sessions to come to an end. A big part of what your therapist will do during sessions is to try to arm you with the right tools and methods to maintain your mental health on your own. The aim is to ensure you gain better clarity and direction. You should leave feeling confident enough to make your own decisions and trust your own choices.

If you or someone you know feels unsafe, overwhelmed and like they could be in a crisis, call nearest hospital or 999 for immediate support.
