Marathon couples counselling is an intensive, short-term therapy format designed for couples who require immediate, focused intervention. Unlike traditional counselling, which is spread over several weeks or months with one-hour sessions, marathon counselling compresses months of therapeutic work into a few days—typically six  hours of therapy each day for 2 consecutive days.

· Couples in crisis who cannot wait for gradual, weekly progress

· Partners with busy schedules who cannot commit to regular appointments

· Those facing urgent issues such as infidelity, communication breakdowns, or looming separation

· Couples wanting to make rapid, significant progress in a short time frame

Marathon sessions are typically conducted in a private, distraction-free setting, allowing couples to dedicate their full attention to each other and to the therapeutic process. The therapist guides the couple through intensive exercises, deep conversations, and personalised interventions, all while providing a safe space to express emotions, rebuild trust, and create actionable plans for the future.

· Assessment and goal setting

· Identification of core issues and patterns

· Skill-building for communication and conflict resolution

· Repair and reconnection exercises

· Customised strategies for sustaining progress post-marathon

Marathon couples counselling may be the best fit if you:

· Desire a concentrated, transformative experience

However, it may not be suitable for couples experiencing ongoing abuse, untreated mental illness, or situations where one partner is unwilling to participate.
