Intensive Therapy: Just the Two of You, not a Group
Need a lot of help? Not sure weekly sessions will be enough? Consider a 3-Day Intensive. 3-Day Intensives are online during covid.
The 3-Day Intensive couple counselling experience is not a group experience – it is just for you and your partner. You’ll have the space and time to focus exclusively on the challenges of your relationship with the personalized attention and expertise from Irene Oudyk-Suk, a skilled and experienced couple’s therapist.

Consider a 3-Day Couples Counselling Intensive When…
you and your partner are in crisis
you’re on the verge of calling your relationship quits
the two of you are unable to navigate the throes of infidelity
you need a LOT of counselling quick
In the 3-Day Intensive (sometimes referred to as marathon couples therapy) you’ll meet together with your partner and Couples In Step therapist, Irene Oudyk-Suk, to focus directly on your relationship: what went wrong, what’s still going wrong, and what can be done (if anything) to change your relationship.
The Benefits of a 3-Day Intensive
You’ll begin Intensive Couples Counselling feeling wounded and helpless. You’ll emerge with a direction and a focus for moving forward. … and renewed hope.
The structure and safety of an Intensive helps you move through some of the overwhelming distress and immediate crisis. And you’ll step back to take a big picture look at your relationship.
You’ll depart understanding how your relationship got to be where it is today.
My wife and I are doing very well and were just talking about our time with you at the 3-Day Intensive earlier this year. My wife recalled it as one of her highlights of 2012. I can say the same!

I would like to start by saying I think the service you provided to us was very very good. I took a lot from it and truly thought it put our relationship into a structured perspective from which we could begin to repair and redevelop. I truly respect the service you provide and now better realize it takes two people if it has any chance to work. Thank you and best regards…

Follow-Up
The effect of a 3-Day Intensive counselling experience is leveraged when you follow up with regular counselling sessions.
You may be able to arrange face-to-face or video counselling sessions with Irene. That will depend on available time slots.
Irene may be able to refer you to a therapist (EFT trained or otherwise) in your area for follow up.
Video counselling is an accessible way to access counselling.
Sometimes video therapy is interspersed with a face-to-face 3-hour session every 2 – 4 months. If Irene has available time slots this may be an option for you.
A Hold Me Tight® retreat and or a retreat focused on touch and physical intimacy are also great for follow up.
