Think you need a lot of help? Not sure weekly sessions will be enough?
Consider a 3-Day Counselling Intensive (sometimes referred to as marathon couples therapy) 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 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.
Just the Two of You, not a Group
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, Irene Oudyk-Suk, a skilled and experienced couple’s therapist.

The Benefits of a 3-Day Intensive
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…

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!

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.
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.
- 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.
- Irene may be able to refer you to a therapist (EFT trained or otherwise) in your area for follow up.
- A Hold Me Tight® retreat and or a retreat focused on touch and physical intimacy are also great for follow up.
