Intensive Couples Counseling Retreat

An Alternative to Traditional Therapy

For couples, the real breakthroughs happen when there's no gap to lose momentum in. 3-5 uninterrupted days let you move from distance to closeness in real time — covering ground that weekly sessions often take months to reach.

A Transformative Experience

Away from daily distractions, with time fully devoted to each other, the real issues finally get the space they need — and therapy goes deeper when you're rested.

Counseling Promoting Togetherness

Time to talk, combined with solution-oriented counseling, will help you take meaningful steps toward a stronger relationship.

One-on-one sessions tailored exclusively to your needs
Flexibility to choose your own accommodation and travel arrangements
Personal pickup from your hotel for therapeutic walks in nature
Follow-up online sessions to support your continued progress
A complimentary consultation to explore the format and find your ideal retreat duration

Finding Your Path as a Couple: Marriage Counseling

The Private Counseling Retreat helps you improve communication in your relationship during a crisis, after a time of hardship or betrayal, or when you doubt your marriage can last.

I also offer individual counseling for those who desire marriage counseling, but the partner isn't joining in. It's possible to improve the relationship by changing the dynamics one-sided.

A comprehensive approach to marriage counseling

My practice integrates Adlerian Psychology methods with the healing power of nature. Drawing from established psychological frameworks and contemporary approaches, I offer:

Evidence-based therapeutic methods

Systemic techniques
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach
Holistic counseling
Positive psychology

Advanced therapeutic tools

Counseling concept of R. Dreikurs
Encouragement by T. Schoenaker
GPI coaching by U. Bärtschi
Conflict Spiral AFI
3-Factor Model by T. Schoenaker

My approach encourages couples to:

Take this time for themselves – away from daily life, without distractions, focused solely on your relationship
Try a different approach – especially when traditional therapy isn't available or progress feels too slow
Trust nature's power – that movement and open spaces enable conversations that don't happen within four walls

Testimonial About the Marriage Counseling Retreat

"I felt very safe and comfortable during our walks. We have not been talking that openly and in such a constructive way since years. It felt liberating and also allowed me to reflect on our real problems.

Being out in nature, in an open space, and being able to focus on what we hear and less on the problem helped tremendously. It is an investment in us in our future I would recommend to anyone."
