Fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen means you travel here by yourself and we meet face to face, several times over a few days. Most who choose it live abroad and want distance from home while they think about their relationship. Each meeting runs for an hour, in English.
When your partner is ready to travel too, fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen is the joint version. Both sit within couples therapy for couples living abroad, and after your trip we can carry on by video.
To begin, book a free 30-minute call, look through my client policy, or send me your travel dates.
Fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen suits one partner, living outside Denmark, who is willing to make the journey alone for a few days of focused work.

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, it has struck me how much clearer one person becomes after a few days away from home. Underneath, some are asking ‘Does my partner even miss me?’ and others ‘If I let them close, will I lose myself again?’. At home those questions are drowned out by the next argument. In a quiet room in another city they can finally be heard, and the answer often changes what happens when you fly back.”
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.
Mikkel is Danish and lives in Chicago with his wife, Rosa, who is American. They have two young children. Since Rosa’s promotion they argue about everything, and Mikkel has started to wonder whether he wants to stay, in the marriage and in the United States. Rosa thinks therapy is a waste of money.
Mikkel adds four days to a trip home for his father’s birthday and books six one-hour sessions. He sees how his silence after each argument leaves Rosa alone with the children and the anger. He flies back with a calmer way to raise the question of the future, and continues online.
I have presented this clinical example as a compound of 22 years of clinical practice.
Sometimes you need to step away from the relationship to see it clearly.
When every day at home brings the same tension, it is hard to think about anything except the next argument. A few days in another city can change that.
Fly-in couples therapy alone gives you that distance, with sessions to help you use it well.
Your partner may refuse therapy, or may not be ready to travel. You can still start.
When one person changes how they respond, the pattern between two people has to shift as well.
Many people abroad cannot find an English-speaking therapist nearby who understands a life between countries.
A short trip to Copenhagen can solve that, and keep your private life out of your local community.
If you are already coming for work, family or a holiday, a few sessions can turn part of the trip into time for yourself.
Danes abroad often plan this around a visit home.
Away from home, the daily irritations go quiet. What is left is the bigger question of what you want.
We use that quiet carefully, without rushing you.
Perhaps the question is whether to keep the marriage going, whether to move back to your home country, or both at once.
We look at each option honestly, and I will not push you either way.
A handful of days in one place can do what a long run of short appointments struggles to.
One conversation leads straight into the next, with walks and rest in the gaps.

Distance from home, a clear focus and room to think between sessions.
Fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen looks at three things: the loop that keeps running between you and your partner, the move you make inside it, and what you will do differently once you land.
In fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen, we replay a few recent clashes in slow motion. Seen from another city, your own contribution often stands out more sharply than it ever does at home.
Yes. Without the pull of everyday routine, wishes, fears and obligations are easier to tell apart.
Often, yes. With some distance it is easier to imagine what your partner feels and why they react as they do.
Yes. Part of fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen is rehearsing how you will open the talk that is waiting for you back home.

Come without a plan if you like. We settle the theme before you set off.
Ahead of buying tickets, we speak online to choose the theme, fix dates and decide how many meetings are sensible. If this format is wrong for you, you will hear that from me.
Often one or two one-hour sessions a day over three to five days, with plenty of time to rest in between. We fix the plan together before you travel.
Sleep, wander the harbour, eat properly. At most I will give you one thing to observe in yourself.
Most people plan three to five days. We decide together, based on what you need and what you can manage.
Normally one trip first. On the last day we decide whether you return, carry on by video or pause.
Several meetings in a few days is where a bundle earns its keep, bringing the price per hour down. Have a look at the bundle cards further down.
You land steadier, you have the opening words ready, and the first evening back unfolds in a new way. A few weeks on, we can look back at it by video.

Fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen is several face-to-face hours with me over a short stay, for one partner who travels here to work on a relationship. We meet in central Copenhagen and speak English.
You can. When a day holds two meetings, a long pause sits between them.
Yes, and many people like that. A week-long stay leaves whole afternoons to digest what came up.
Your account is the one I hear, and I never forget that it is one of two. I keep your partner fairly in view and will question you gently when it is useful.
I do not arrange travel or accommodation, but I am happy to tell you which parts of the city are convenient for the practice.
Yes. Danes abroad often book fly-in couples therapy alone in Copenhagen in the days around a family visit. Sessions are in English.
Then we ease off, skip a meeting or reshape the plan. The trip is yours, not an endurance test.
On the last day we pick the next step together, perhaps video sessions by yourself, joint work with your partner, or a rest.
You pay per one-hour meeting, so the total follows the number you plan. Fees in US dollars are listed on my prices page. Prepaying with a therapy bundle takes 10 per cent off.
Before buying flights, book a free 30-minute call or email me your possible dates.

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.
