In this short video, I explain how a fly-in block works, from the first call to the day you fly home.

Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen means several in-person sessions at my practice in the city centre, timed around your visit. It is for couples abroad who travel for experienced help, couples split between two countries, and Danes coming home. Every session runs for two hours, in English.
It is part of couples therapy for couples living abroad. If you only have a Saturday and Sunday, weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen may be enough. Follow-up afterwards can continue online, wherever you live.
You can ask for a free 30-minute call, read my client policy or write to me with the dates you are considering.
Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen is for couples who make the journey to the city for a block of sessions designed around their stay. You both take part, in person.
This page is for couples who travel to Copenhagen together and stay for several days. If something else describes you better, use its link.

These reviews describe clients’ experiences of working with me. They come from my wider practice and do not all relate to online sessions. Each person’s experience is their own, and a review does not promise a particular outcome.
“Since my first client in 2004, I have noticed that the couples who travel to see me arrive unusually ready. Booking a flight for your relationship is a statement in itself: this matters enough to clear the diary for. That intent changes the work. Without school runs and inboxes pulling at you, a hard conversation can be opened in the morning, rested on in the afternoon and finished the next day. Couples often tell me that the days in Copenhagen did more than months of trying at home.”
Mark Colclough, MA, psychotherapist and EFT couples therapist
I am Mark Colclough, MA. I have practised since 2004 and offer online psychotherapy and couples therapy in English.
My training brings together your emotions, your thoughts and your relationships. My deep passion is the moment when what happens between you finally makes sense, to each of you and to each other. I have lived and worked in nine countries, so I know something of life across languages, cultures and borders.
Read about my background, or explore online psychotherapy and online couples therapy.
I meet regularly with experienced psychotherapists to reflect on my work, question my understanding and develop my skills. Supervision is part of the professional care I bring to individual and couples work, including online sessions.
My focus is thoughtful practice, integrity and responsibility.
You are welcome to ask about the kind of support you need.
Tell me where you are based and your time zone. We can then consider whether online sessions together are suitable.
Aisha works in Nairobi and Ben in London. They have been together for six years, married for two, and see each other one week in four. Every reunion starts warmly and ends in a row about whose career will give way. They could not find a therapist who would work with both of them across two countries.
They plan four days in Copenhagen with two sessions a day. We map the reunion argument and what each of them fears losing. They fly home with an agreement about how to talk about the future, and continue online from their two cities.
I have presented this clinical example as a compound of 22 years of clinical practice.
A journey made for your relationship deserves a calm room, a clear plan and time to rest.
Some couples cannot find suitable help where they live. Others want to leave ordinary life behind for a few days while they do this work.
Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen packs several sessions into your stay, with long pauses to rest, walk and reflect.
In many cities, an English-speaking couples therapist with experience of international lives is hard to come by.
A short trip with a clear purpose can be easier than a long search at home.
Where the foreign community is small, the local therapist may well know your boss, your neighbours or your children’s school.
Travelling to Copenhagen keeps your private life private.
Some partners are based in two countries and see each other between flights. Copenhagen can be your meeting point, with time set aside for the relationship.
I shape the timetable around both journeys.
Perhaps only one week this year is genuinely free, or a handful of days between assignments.
We design the block so none of that time is wasted.
Without the commute, the laundry and the bedtime routine, conversations often slow down by themselves.
I use that calm with care and keep the pace manageable.
Danes living abroad often have a trip home planned already. Adding a few days of sessions can turn a family visit into a turning point for the relationship.
I fit the block around your plans.

Tell me briefly what kind of support you are looking for.
Include your country and time zone so we can discuss whether online work together is possible and find a suitable time.

A single theme, generous pauses and a plan to carry home.
During fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen we look at the loop that runs between you, what living apart or abroad adds to it, and the talk you have both been postponing.
The opening sessions are for sketching the loop. Over the following days you start to notice it in the moment and, with my help, choose a different move.
Yes. Because the sessions sit close together, a painful theme can be raised on Tuesday, left overnight and picked up again on Wednesday.
Yes. We explore how relocations, long-distance stretches and frequent flights have changed the closeness between you, and what is missing now.
Yes. On the last day we settle on a few habits to try and a short weekly check-in you can keep up from home.
We choose a follow-up that suits your life. For many couples that means online sessions from home, a return visit later in the year, or a mix.
Most couples leave Copenhagen seeing the same pattern and holding a plan both of them trust.

No fixed agenda is needed. We pick the theme together ahead of your trip.
Ahead of booking any flights, we speak online to choose the theme, the dates and a sensible number of sessions. If this format does not suit you, I will be straight with you.
That depends on the trip. One couple might meet me twice a day for three days, another might prefer four sessions spaced through a week. Pauses are part of every plan.
Sleep, walk, eat and see something of the city. At most I will give you one small observation task.
Most couples choose between two and five days. We decide that together, according to what you need and what feels manageable.
Normally one visit first, with the follow-up decided on the final day.
A block means several sessions back to back, which is where a bundle pays off by lowering the price per session. Compare the bundle cards further down.
Both of you can describe the pattern, you share a couple of firm agreements, and those changes are still in place weeks after the flight home.
Unsure whether a fly-in visit suits you? Here are the nearest alternatives.

|---|---|---|
| Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen (this page) | You can stay in Copenhagen for several days. | A block of 2-hour sessions across two to five days |

| Fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen | You are travelling on your own. | Several 1-hour sessions over a few days |
Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen is a block of couples sessions arranged around a trip. Each session lasts two hours, in English, in person at my practice in the city centre.
Yes, if that suits you. On days with two sessions, there is a long pause in the middle.
Yes. Spacing the sessions out over a week leaves room to recover and to try things between them.
Travel and hotels are yours to arrange. I am glad to suggest which areas are handy for reaching the practice.
Yes, many couples I see do. We choose dates when both of you can get to Copenhagen, and afterwards we can continue online from your two countries.
Yes. You can plan fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen around a visit home. We work in English.
Then we ease off, take a longer pause or rework the timetable. The block serves you; it is not something to endure.
We settle on a follow-up together: online sessions from home, another visit to Copenhagen, or a break.
Every session is a 2-hour couples session, so the total depends on the number you plan. Current fees, in US dollars, are on my prices page, and a therapy bundle saves you 10 per cent.
Ask for a free 30-minute call or send me your possible dates before you book any travel.

I want therapy to help you understand your experience and make choices you can use in everyday life. We pay attention to feelings, needs and the responses that happen before you have time to think.
Our online room should offer enough trust and honesty to explore what is difficult. I bring attention and professional judgement. You bring your experience, questions and the right to say when something does not fit.
