Why Try Couples Therapy?
Traditional Couples Therapy
The more common and well known form of couples therapy is through weekly or fortnightly sessions, where we explore the challenges you are facing in the relationship and work on building the skills to navigate these in a healthier way.
I draw on the Gottman Method, one of the better known and evidence based techniques for improving relationship quality.

Couples Marathon
This intensive, science-based approach is designed to help couples dive deep into their relationship dynamics over a focused two-day period. Guided by the renowned Gottman Method, we will help you rebuild trust, improve communication, and rediscover the love that brought you together.

Couples Marathon
Evidence Based. Intensive. Effective.
At My Wellness Mindset, we offer Gottman Marathon Therapy—a powerful alternative to traditional weekly sessions. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this approach is grounded in over 40 years of research and focuses on the unique patterns within your relationship.
​
Unlike traditional therapy, which unfolds gradually over time, Gottman Marathon Therapy condenses months of work into an immersive two-day experience. This method is ideal for couples seeking meaningful progress quickly—whether you’re facing serious challenges, navigating transitions, or simply striving to enhance your connection.
The Gottman approach emphasizes measurable change and equips you with skills you can use for a lifetime. Together, we’ll identify what works in your relationship and what needs adjustment, creating a tailored roadmap to rekindle trust, passion, and partnership.

01
Online Assessment
Developed from over 50 years of scientific research, you will complete an online assessment consisting of 337 questions about friendship, intimacy, emotions, conflict, values, and trust, as well as parenting, housework, finances, individual areas of concern, and more. The results of this assessment will help me build your personalised treatment plan moving forward.
​
03
Time to Marathon
Now time for the fun, 2 days of intensive therapy. Based on the information I have gathered on your relationship, I will build a fully personalised plan with interventions that will give you the opportunity to learn healthy communication, emotional regulation, process past hurt, improve connection & intimacy and SO much more!
This will be held at my Clinic in Caloundra, or I can travel to you for an additional cost.
02
Individual Session
One you have completed your assessment, I will have a 30 minute Telehealth session with each partner individually. This gives me an opportunity to explore some of the findings in your assessment, and understand each partners perspective and goals moving forward. The purpose of this is for me to fast track the understanding of each partners history, triggers and traumas that may be showing up in the relationship.
04
Follow Up
Relapse Prevention: You will complete four follow-up sessions after Marathon Therapy to help solidify the changes made in Marathon. These follow-up sessions are spaced out every three to six weeks based on your needs. Any sessions after the initial four are charged at the standard couples therapy rates.
