Couples Intensives and EMDR individual intensives

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Intensive work for couples and individual

Clients chose intensives when they are ready for change not just coping. Intensive therapeutic work when a weekly or bi-weekly commitment for professional or personal reasons does not fit.

 

Please note this is not one size fits all

EMDR & Couples Therapy Intensives

 

Focused, Deep, Lasting Change — Without Months of Waiting

 

You may have been thinking about change for a long time.

 

Perhaps you’ve tried to talk things through, made sense of patterns, even had therapy before… yet something still feels stuck.

 

  • The same arguments repeat

  • The same emotional reactions take over

  • The past continues to shape the present

  • You understand things logically, but nothing truly shifts

 

If that feels familiar, an intensive offers a different way forward.

Why Choose an Intensive?

 

Traditional therapy can be powerful, but working week-to-week often means:

 

  • Losing momentum between sessions

  • Staying at the level of insight rather than change

  • Avoiding the deeper work because time feels limited

 

An intensive creates a protected, focused space to work at depth.

 

Instead of dipping in and out, we stay with the work long enough for something meaningful to shift.

What Is an Intensive?

 

An intensive is a carefully structured therapeutic experience, tailored to you as an individual or as a couple.

 

It combines:

 

  • EMDR therapy to process trauma and emotional blocks

  • Systemic psychotherapy to understand patterns and context

  • Gottman-informed couples work to repair communication and rebuild connection

This allows us to work both with what has happened and how it is playing out now.

Who This Is For

 

Intensives are particularly helpful if:

 

  • You feel stuck despite insight or previous therapy

  • You want to work through trauma more efficiently

  • Your relationship is at a turning point

  • You are recovering from affairs, betrayal, or loss of trust

  • Patterns keep repeating and feel difficult to change

  • You want meaningful progress without long delays

 

  • For Individuals

 

You may be:

 

  • Carrying the impact of past experiences or trauma

  • Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally shut down

  • Tired of coping and ready for deeper change

 

EMDR intensives allow us to process what is unresolved and create space for something different.

For Couples

 

You may be:

 

  • Caught in the same arguments with no resolution

  • Navigating betrayal, secrecy, or disconnection

  • Unsure whether to stay together or separate

 

Couples intensives offer a structured space to:

 

  • Understand your pattern as a couple

  • Improve communication and emotional safety

  • Begin repair where trust has been damaged

  • Address infidelity trauma

What to Expect

 

Your experience is designed with care and precision.

 

Before

 

* Consultation call to explore your needs

* Assessment and preparation process

* Personalised plan for your intensive

 

During

 

* Extended, focused sessions (half or full day)

The Difference

 

This is not simply “more therapy.”

 

It is a focused, high-impact piece of work that allows:

 

  • Deeper emotional processing

  • Faster movement through stuck points

  • Real shifts in how you feel and relate

Investment

 

Intensives are a premium service, reflecting the depth, preparation, and focused time offered.

 

Packages are tailored but typically include:

 

  • Preparation and assessment

  • Half-day or full-day intensive sessions

  • Integration and follow-up

 

Full details are discussed following consultation to ensure the approach is right for you.

 

Is This Right for You?

 

Intensive therapy is most effective when:

 

  • You are ready to engage with the process

  • You can prioritise the time and space needed

  • You are open to both support and challenge

 

If you are unsure, we can explore this together in an initial conversation.

Next Step
