In this short video, I explain how a weekend of couples sessions in Copenhagen is put together, and why some couples travel for it.

Weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen is couples therapy gathered into a Saturday and Sunday, in person at my practice in the centre of the city. It suits couples living abroad whose weekdays are full, international couples who choose to travel for focused help, and Danes abroad who are home for a visit. Each session lasts two hours, in English.
It belongs to couples therapy for couples living abroad. If you are travelling from far away and want a longer block, fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen may suit you better. Follow-up afterwards can happen online, wherever you live.
You can ask for a free 30-minute call, read my client policy or write to me to ask which weekends are free.
Weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen is for couples living abroad, or couples willing to travel, whose weekdays have no room for sessions. You both come, in person.

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 watched many busy couples put their relationship last in the diary, simply because everything else shouted louder. A weekend in Copenhagen turns that around. For two days nothing else has to compete. I have seen couples who had not spoken honestly for a year begin to, on a Saturday afternoon, because for once they were not rushing to the next thing.”
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.
Hannah and Marco live in Zurich. Hannah is German, Marco is Italian, and both are on planes nearly every week. They have tried to book regular sessions three times and cancelled each time. When Marco has a conference in Copenhagen, they decide to stay on for the weekend.
On Saturday we map the argument that starts every time one of them comes home from a trip. On Sunday they practise a different way of reconnecting after time apart. They fly home with two agreements and book three online follow-up sessions.
I have presented this clinical example as a compound of 22 years of clinical practice.
Your weeks are spoken for. A weekend of couples therapy in Copenhagen is not.
Many couples abroad juggle demanding jobs, constant travel and no relatives close by. Regular appointments slide, then vanish.
Weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen gives the relationship a fixed spot in the diary, far from the usual noise.
If your diary is all meetings, flights and pick-ups, a fortnightly hour may never appear.
Two days in the city let you start without rebuilding your working life around it.
Some couples hold out for the calm season that never comes.
Putting a weekend in the calendar turns a wish into an appointment.
Perhaps you already come for work, family or a holiday. Adding sessions makes the trip do double duty.
Danes living abroad often fit weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen around a visit home.
With weeks between appointments, half of each one goes on recapping.
Across two days, Sunday picks up exactly where Saturday stopped.
Out of your own home and away from your inbox, it is often easier to slow down and pay attention.
We protect that space with generous pauses between the conversations.
Some couples like one focused piece of work and a decision afterwards.
A weekend offers exactly that, with no promise of months ahead.

One theme, two days and time to breathe between the difficult parts.
During weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen we look at three things: the loop between you, the extra weight of life abroad, and the talk you have both been putting off.
Saturday is for drawing the loop you keep getting caught in. By Sunday you can often spot it in real time, with me there to slow it down.
Yes. Having two days means we can come at it gently, sleep on it and pick it up again in the morning.
Yes. We look at how a move, a foreign language or living far from family has changed the closeness between you, and what each of you is missing.
Yes. You go home with a short list of agreements and a few small habits to try in the following weeks.
Before you leave, we settle on a follow-up. Often that means online sessions from wherever you live, a second weekend, or a mix.
Most couples fly home sharing one picture of what goes wrong, and holding a plan that both of them trust.

No agenda is needed. We choose the theme together beforehand.
A few days ahead, we talk briefly online to choose the theme and settle the times. If two days in a row are wrong for you, I will be honest about it.
Typically one or two sessions on the Saturday and one on the Sunday, two hours each, with long pauses between. The timetable is fixed before you travel.
Eat, sleep and get out into the city. I might give you one small thing to notice. Nothing more.
For some couples, yes. Many add a few online sessions afterwards so the new habits survive daily life.
Most book a single weekend first and decide on the next step once it is over.
A weekend means several sessions back to back, which is where a bundle helps and brings down the price per session. You can compare the bundle cards further down.
The familiar argument loses some of its bite, you can talk at home about the weekend, and the small changes hold for weeks.
Unsure whether a weekend suits you? Here are the nearest alternatives.
| Option | Choose it when | Pace |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen (this page) | Your weekdays are full, and you can travel to Copenhagen for two days. | Two or three 2-hour sessions, Saturday and Sunday |
| Fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen | You are travelling from far away and want a longer block. | Several 2-hour sessions over a few days |
| Back-to-back couples therapy, living abroad | You want a concentrated block without travelling. | Several online sessions close together |
| Couples therapy for couples living abroad | You want regular sessions from home. | Two-hour online sessions every few weeks |
Weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen is couples work spread over a Saturday and a Sunday, in person at my practice in the city centre, in English. It is meant for couples who live abroad or who travel to Copenhagen for focused help.
Weekend dates are limited, and I plan each one with the couple. Ask, and I will send you the free dates.
Normally two or three sessions of two hours, with long pauses. We fix the timetable before you book your travel.
It can be tiring. That is why the plan includes pauses, each session stops at two hours, and we slow down whenever it is needed.
For many couples, yes. A short trip creates protected time that is hard to find at home. If you are coming from far away, fly-in couples therapy in Copenhagen may suit you as well.
Yes. Plenty of Danes abroad book weekend couples therapy in Copenhagen while they are home anyway. We work in English, and follow-up can continue online afterwards.
Then we pause or change course. The weekend is a structure to lean on, not an exam.
We agree a follow-up before you go: online sessions from home, another weekend some months later, or both.
Every session is a 2-hour couples session, so the total depends on how many you book. 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 a message and I will tell you which dates are open.

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.
