Relationship Assessment
All couples at Talk complete a relationship assessment prior to beginning treatment sessions. As a difference from alternate approaches to relationship counselling, the assessment process ensures that a comprehensive understanding of the relationship is gained by the therapist and shared with the couple prior to beginning treatment. This ensures the suitability of couples therapy at this time, uncovers the relevant scientific research required to guide the treatment and the core processes behind the couples concerns, and allows the therapist to clearly outline a tailored treatment plan to repair the relationship and reach the couple's goals. The relationship assessment includes four sessions and completion of an online questionnaire. The four sessions can be booked on one day, or individually.
Couples Therapy
Gottman Method Couples Therapy is highly effective in building understanding, fondness, admiration and respect within your relationship, strengthening intimacy and emotional connection, successfully managing conflict and increasing communication, resolving past hurt, supporting each other’s life dreams and shared goals/values, strengthening or rebuilding trust and commitment, and developing the skills to ensure a fulfilling and long lasting relationship. After completing the relationship assessment, couples can attend therapeutic sessions in either a traditional weekly/fortnightly 1-2 hour format, or in intensive (3-4 hour) or marathon (full day 9am-3pm) formats.
Marathon Therapy
Marathon Couples Therapy is an effective and intensive approach to relationship counselling which involves compressing traditional weekly or fortnightly sessions into a full day of therapy.
Each Marathon Therapy Day allows couples to attend at our practice from approximately 9-3pm, and work with their therapist in the Gottman Method and along the treatment plan devised through their Relationship Assessment, to address concerns and get their relationship back on track, vibrant and fulfilling, as soon as possible.
Intensive Therapy Sessions are bookings of 2.5-4 hours of couples therapy, utilised for assessment or therapy sessions.
Couples are encouraged to complete at least two Marathon Therapy Days, following their Relationship Assessment which can be completed first as an Intensive Therapy Session, in traditional weekly sessions or via a written assessment, prior to attending.
