Option 1

Couples agree to work together with Sharon in 60 - 90 minute sessions, at a frequency that suits the couple and their life, ensuring growth occurs in the relationship.

Option 2

Sometimes we don’t have enough time to get to hourly counselling sessions or a couple has complex and specific issues that take time to work through. Stuck or gridlocked areas of conflict are often complex to work through on your own or there are issues repairing past conflicts.

Intensive, in-depth marathon sessions allow time and capacity to work through in a condensed fashion. This style of therapy can work for couples who are stuck in an issue or think they are going to separate, and this is the last chance and they want to fast-track outcomes.

Marathon sessions begin with a Gottman connect assessment (480 questions that assess friendship, intimacy, how well you connect, conflict, shared values, goals and meaning, trust and commitment, family, parenting, housework and finances). Then there is a joint information gathering session, followed by an individual session. Your assessment feedback is then presented and the work begins! You then leave the marathon sessions with repair, information and tools. I usually suggest one to two follow up sessions of 50 minutes.

Marathon intensives can be completed over 3-4 hours, a full day of 6 hours or two-6 hour days. These can be completed during weekdays or Saturdays.

These need to be booked in advance with a 20% deposit. The full amount is required 24 hours prior to the marathon session commencing. The Gottman Connect assessment is included in the pricing.
