Couple Intensives
Deepen your connection–fast
Do you long to feel safe, loved, and secure in your relationship?
Welcome to Georgian Bay Relationship Centre, where we offer transformative couple intensives designed to help you and your partner create lasting change, deepen your connection, and resolve longstanding issues. If you’re looking for focused, meaningful support to break through barriers and reignite your relationship, a couple’s intensive may be the solution you are looking for.
What is a Couple Intensive?
A couple intensive is an immersive therapy experience tailored to meet the specific needs of you and your partner. Over the course of two days, we dive deep into the core issues that are impacting your relationship—whether they involve communication struggles, trust issues, unresolved conflicts, or simply the desire to reconnect on a deeper emotional and physical level.
Unlike traditional weekly therapy, a couple intensive is a concentrated format, giving you the opportunity to make significant progress in a short amount of time. It’s ideal for couples who are facing challenges they want to address quickly, or for those who want to invest in their relationship to achieve lasting change.
Keep in mind that Couple Intensives are not a group program. Only you, your partner, and the therapist are in the room. Your confidentiality is assured.
Why choose a Couple Intensive?
Sometimes meeting weekly can feel like it is dragging out the pain, rather than making the progress you are hoping for. A couple’s intensive allows you to work privately with a relationship specialist to help you make real progress in the shortest time possible.
Fast, Focused Progress: Get to the heart of your challenges quickly and effectively. In two days we’ll address key issues and lay the foundation for lasting change.
Tailored Support: Your intensive is designed specifically for your relationship. Whether you need help with communication, rebuilding trust, or reigniting passion, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
Deep Connection: Intensive sessions provide a unique opportunity to bond with your partner in a meaningful way, away from the distractions of daily life.
Expert Guidance: Led by an experienced therapist, each session will provide you with expert tools, techniques, and strategies to enhance your relationship moving forward.
What We Cover in Couple Intensives
During your intensive, we’ll focus on whatever is most important to you and your partner. Some of the areas we commonly address include:
Effective Communication: Learn how to express yourselves clearly, listen with empathy, and resolve conflicts constructively.
Trust & Intimacy: Rebuild trust after betrayal or simply reconnect on a deeper emotional and physical level.
Conflict Resolution: Develop tools for navigating disagreements in a way that fosters understanding, not resentment.
Sexual & Emotional Connection: Address intimacy concerns, whether they’re emotional, physical, or both.
Relationship Enhancement: Strengthen the foundation of your relationship, fostering a deeper sense of connection, affection, and shared purpose.
How it works
Initial Consultation: We start with a brief telephone consultation to understand the unique challenges and goals of your relationship.
Relationship Assessment: Each partner completes a comprehensive online assessment. A comprehensive report on the results are used to guide the areas of focus for our time together.
Focused Sessions: We’ll work through key issues in a structured yet flexible format, using a variety of techniques and interventions to help you make tangible progress.
Follow-Up Support: After the intensive, we offer a one-hour follow up session, either in-person or via videoconferencing, to help you maintain the momentum and ensure continued progress.

Services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW) are exempt from HST. Extended health benefits may cover fees. Please verify coverage limits with your provider before booking.
Intensives are suitable for couples who are prepared to invest time and money to make rapid progress, but they are not for everyone. If there is violence or intimidation, intensive couple counselling is not appropriate. My clients’ safety is my highest priority.
My office location in the ‘Heart of Georgian Bay’ serves clients from Midland, Barrie, central Ontario, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and beyond. My office location is a convenient 90 minutes from the intersection of Hwy 400/401.
