Our Residential Couple Retreat is intended to get you away from your daily routine and to take you into a harmonious and suitable therapeutic environment. You will, under the guidance of our team of therapists disconnect from what got you hurt, stuck, disappointed, exhausted, hopeless and instead you shall re-connect to the purpose of being together, supported by an array of communications, conflict resolution and intimacy skills.
Traditionally couples therapy takes a long time. Even the initial assessment in itself often takes place over several weeks. Our Residential Total immersion Programme will enable you to have overdue conversations in a matter of hours.
For whom:
Our Residential Couple Retreat in France is designed for couples who may be:
- Experiencing significant distress in their relationships
- Looking for quick results with proven techniques based on what makes a great relationship
- Having the conversations that you are meant to have within a matter of hours!
- Wanting to strengthen and deepen their connection with one another and relate to one another better
- Unable to attend the traditional-style therapy sessions each week due to work commitments or other obstacles
How does it work:
In brief, we shall have an initial conversation with you, usually by phone. Based on this discussion we shall put together a bespoke couples retreat, usually lasting four days. Each day will include teaching and skills training sessions interspersed with time on your own, for reflection or skills practice. There will be outward bound and creative activities, integrated into the programme, such as walking, cycling or ceramics. You will be accompanied near full-time by a team of at least two therapists.
Practicalities:
Allow half a day to get to us and another half day to return to the UK.
Our nearest airport is Limoges and there are flights by Ryanair from several UK airports. Eurostar travels from London, via Paris and onwards to Limoges over 5 hours. We are happy to arrange a pick up from the airport or train station.
You shall stay in a traditional French gîte, in a rural setting and you will be responsible for your own breakfast. Tea, lunch and evening meals are provided (based on your dietary requirements) and at times meals may be taken together with your therapy team.
