Intensives for UK-based clients are primarily held in London at a comfortable, upmarket private therapy centre. For couples seeking a more immersive experience away from their daily environment, I am also available to facilitate intensives at a mutually agreed venue—such as a quiet boutique hotel or a dedicated retreat space—provided it offers the necessary privacy and containment for deep relational, psychological work.

Deep relational work is a marathon for the nervous system. It is common to experience what we call a "vulnerability hangover" or significant cognitive fatigue. This is why the intensive structure includes mandatory integration breaks and downtime, as well as mealtimes, to give you space to catch your breath.

We strongly advise that you do not schedule anything else during your intensive days, such as business meetings or social engagements. The "downtime" is where the subconscious integration happens so is a vital and planned part of the process.

Most commercial retreats focus on "wellness" or general relaxation. Our Intensives are clinical interventions with qualified, accredited psychotherapists.

We are not simply "getting away"; we are doing the rigorous work of deconstructing dysfunctional relational patterns. While we prioritise comfort, the focus remains on evidence-based therapeutic repair, neurobiological regulation, and the resolution of chronic intimacy blocks.

All intimate relationships are suitable for intensives, including non-conventional relationship structures (C/ENM, polyam, D/S, QP, swinging etc) are warmly welcome, as long as they’re between consenting adults.

The dual-therapist model (working with myself and a hand-picked colleague) offers a powerful "holding environment." It ensures that neither partner feels "ganged up on" and provides a balanced multi-perspective dynamic. It also allows for individual work alongside the couples work, during the intensive.

This is particularly effective for couples in high-conflict cycles or those navigating complex trauma, as it allows one therapist to focus on the "process" while the other focuses on the "individual" in real-time.

Because each intensive is uniquely tailored to the complexity of the couple’s needs and the chosen location, we do not offer a flat "off-the-shelf" rate. Pricing is determined by the duration (1-4 days), the level of facilitation (solo or dual-therapist), and the logistics involved in securing a London venue or traveling to your preferred location.

Typically, it costs 2000-4000€ per day. 

The duration depends on the depth of the rupture. A one-day intensive is often a "recalibration" for couples who are generally stable but hit a specific roadblock. A three-to-four-day intensive is recommended for systemic crises, such as recovering from a long-term affair, navigating a "sexless marriage," or deciding whether to stay together or separate.

We will determine the appropriate length during your initial clinical consultation.

For London intensives, the fee covers the clinical suite, therapy facilitation, and food and beverages during the intensives.

Couples are responsible for their own travel and accommodation. For intensives held at your preferred international venue, travel expenses and professional disbursements for the clinical team will be detailed in your bespoke proposal.
