Intimate II, Individual Couple Sessions
Couple sessions involve one couple meeting with a facilitator over 3 sessions of approximately 1.5 hours. These sessions are suitable for older couples, those in longer-term relationships, couples who have children together or from a previous relationship, and who may have been married before. It is also suitable for married couples seeking to strengthen their relationship, or couples seeking to move towards engagement but experiencing some relationship issues.
Our Individual couple sessions offer relationship skill-training, whilst also identifying deeper issues that may be further explored in counselling if needed. The customised PREPARE report adds a comprehensive assessment component to the sessions.
Times and dates are arranged between couples and their facilitator. Please note that to allow time for a report and the allocation of a facilitator, we need at least 8 weeks' notice prior to your wedding date to complete the sessions.
We offer marriage and relationship education courses in Lewisham, Sydney City, Waverly, Hunters Hill and Liverpool. Our programs are also available online and online video conferencing technology will replace face-to-face sessions as required.
