What Brings Couples to Marathon Therapy
A Relationship at a Breaking Point
Acute relationship crises and recurring unresolved conflict need immediate, concentrated attention.
No Time for Weekly Sessions
Many couples can't commit to an ongoing weekly schedule due to travel, distance, or work demands.
A Single Day, Not a Long Commitment
Marathon couples therapy concentrates significant relationship work into one extended session.
Counsellors at Counsel Me Vancouver see this pattern across many kinds of couples — the couple facing an acute crisis, the couple traveling from outside Vancouver for concentrated support, busy professionals with limited ongoing availability, the couple facing a major decision about their relationship. Each situation is different, and each marathon session starts with an assessment of that couple's specific circumstances.

What is marathon couples therapy?
Marathon couples therapy is an intensive, single-session format that concentrates couples therapy work into one extended appointment rather than spreading it across many weekly sessions. A Registered Clinical Counsellor applies modalities such as the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy within this compressed timeframe.
How long does a marathon couples therapy session last?
A marathon couples therapy session typically lasts 6 hours, including scheduled breaks throughout the day. This extended format allows significantly more therapeutic work than a standard 50 to 90 minute session permits.
What does marathon couples therapy address?
Marathon couples therapy addresses relationship crises, communication breakdown, and recurring unresolved conflict within a single concentrated session. The format suits couples seeking rapid momentum or facing time constraints that make ongoing weekly sessions impractical.
How much does marathon couples therapy cost?
Marathon couples therapy costs $1,200 for the 6-hour session. Some extended health insurance plans cover a portion of this cost when delivered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor, and sliding scale rates are sometimes available. View the Session Rates page for current pricing at Counsel Me Vancouver.
What happens during a marathon couples therapy session?
A marathon couples therapy session begins with an assessment of the couple's specific situation, followed by concentrated therapeutic work structured around scheduled breaks throughout the day. The counsellor tailors the session plan to the couple's presenting concern and goals identified before the session begins.
