Recent 5-star Google Reviews of our Gold Coast Couples Therapists and Past Retreats
We had a couple’s retreat a couple of months ago with Suzanne, and the service provided was very flexible around dates and times of when we could do the retreat. My husband and I flew from interstate and both agree it was very worth the trip. Two months on we are a different couple than what we used to be. We are more positive toward each other and discuss things together rather than argue and blame. We both communicate a lot better than before and often talk about how amazing Suzanne was and how it changed our relationship. I highly recommend the couples retreat! Thanks again for all the amazing work you did with us, the experience was amazing and we are so grateful for everything!
The retreat offered my partner and I, both individually and jointly, safe and transformative sessions/spaces to express ourselves and communicate better. Suzanne's insightful approach helped us to become more aware of ourselves and our negative cycles, to repair rupture, and to show our appreciation and deepen our love for each other. We found Suzanne to be kind, smart, calm and nurturing, non-judgemental, caring and generous – she is 100% a person you want to have on your team.
One-day Couple Retreat
Where
Gold Coast Couples Retreats are held at our beautiful clinic in Currumbin Waters, Southern Gold Coast. Parking is available, and there is easy access to cafes and restaurants during breaks.
Retreat Program (One-day and a pre- or post-session)
- On the day, you will usually participate in five hours of counselling with breaks (usually four counselling sessions lasting from 1 to 1 1/2 hours). The typical program is two individual 60 min sessions followed by two 1.5-hour relationship sessions. These are arranged according to your preference and in consultation with your therapist during the Retreat.
- A pre- or post- relationship counselling session is also included. It is recommended that you meet with your therapist before or after your Retreat. This session will be arranged during your retreat booking.
If from interstate, arrive the night before, settle into your accommodation, and meet your therapist in the morning at our Currumbin clinic.
One-day Retreats are offered on Tuesdays with Lulu or Thursdays with Suzanne between 8.30am – 4pm (starting time is flexible).

When is a retreat is not suitable?
While couples retreats are an excellent option for most people, they are NOT suitable if:
- either partner has a serious active addiction (e.g. alcohol, gambling)
- there is physical violence or emotional abuse in the relationship
- being in the same space for an extended time may trigger a trauma reaction
If you are unsure whether a retreat is a good option, please discuss this with us before booking. If we believe a retreat is not the best way to support you, we will be happy to suggest other options.
