Ready for a Relationship Reset? Welcome to Marathon Couples Therapy!

Marathon Couples Therapy offers a unique and intensive approach to relationship counselling, serving as a powerful alternative to traditional weekly sessions. It's a dedicated space for you and your partner to resolve long-standing issues and guide your relationship back to a place of strength and connection. This immersive experience allows couples to process past hurts, navigate perpetual problems, and master the art of effective communication.

Is Marathon Therapy Right for You?

This intensive format is especially beneficial for couples facing specific challenges, such as:
- Living in areas without access to a trained Gottman Couple’s Therapist.
- Juggling hectic work schedules that make weekly appointments difficult.
- Needing immediate and focused support to address urgent relationship concerns.

We are currently offering Marathon Couples Therapy in Townsville, Port Douglas and Cairns.

What to Expect: Your Two-Day Intensive

Over two consecutive days, you will engage in 7 hours of focused therapy each day, with scheduled breaks for lunch and rest. To maximise our time together, all couples are required to complete a comprehensive online relationship assessment one week before the intensive. This assessment provides crucial insights into your relationship dynamics, allowing us to target the most pressing issues from the very beginning. The results are presented as joint strengths and areas for growth, and your individual responses remain completely confidential.

Your therapy will be conducted in a private and comfortable counselling room. For those travelling to Townsville, our clinic is conveniently located near various accommodation options, beautiful beaches, and excellent restaurants, allowing you to turn your therapy intensive into a restorative getaway. Port Douglas and Cairns offers a tropical paradise outside of therapy sessions.
