Couples Retreat Fast Track

On a couples retreat holding hands

The most helpful intervention for a relationship in crisis is an intensive couples retreat session.

This allows me time in which I will quickly assess the generally complex issues you are facing. I also have the time to address the most urgent fixes that need to occur to halt your slide toward marital disaster. If you want to know how to save a marriage this is the fast track.

I can then help you devise the necessary steps each of you need to take in order to avoid separation and divorce. I am a great believer in momentum for results and as such have no interest in the ‘therapeutic hour’ approach.

If you’d like me to reconnect your couple then here are your options.

Stop Your Divorce

This 2 day intensive is for couples who live too far away to keep attending sessions with me on an ongoing basis or are in desperate trouble. It allows for a thorough understanding of the dynamic you’re locked into and the work that must happen in order to break out of the years of anger and resentment. We will move your relationship skills from the disaster track to the master track in the shortest possible time. If you’re looking for an urgent fix then this is your best option.

Half Day Intensive

This session is three hours in duration. Many couples in crisis schedule one of these as a starting point for continued work with me. This is an essential intervention if you’re recovering from an affair or one of you has announced you’re leaving the relationship.

Many couples schedule several of these within a short period of time to enable a sense of progress and continued momentum. This is my preferred mode of marriage counselling as it allows time to integrate everything you’re learning.

Follow Up Couples Therapy

These are helpful for fine tuning the places where you still struggle with your dynamic, following an intensive. Over time the couple can begin to identify and stop their contributions to the faulty relationship dynamic.

Let’s call what you do at the moment ‘Door A’. It’s my job to show you ‘Door B’ and keep you heading through it despite your protests.

Location: Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

My relationship counselling office is in Bondi Beach, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. Personally I don’t think there’s a nicer place to get the support you’re looking for. You can explore the local cafes or even head to the beach for a swim in your breaks. I really do want to make this as painless as possible. If you’d like to know more then please get in touch.

Testimonials

Michael knows exactly how to get a couple out of trouble and is fearless. Before working with Michael I was very sceptical about therapy for couples and did not believe that any outsider could fully understand me, my partner or our situation well enough to be of help. At best, I expected clichés and a quick fix that would wear out after a short time. Michael is different and not at all what I had imagined in ...

I do not have high enough praise for Michael's work. His integrity, clarity and insight allowed my husband and I to laser cut through our years of unfinished conversations and misunderstandings in a matter of months...to the point where we now have the tools to consistently go through "Door B" as Michael would say.....to do it differently. Our marriage had a lot of love and was a "good" relationship, but there were areas where we both ...

Brenda

Kate and I would like to thank you for the work you have done with us. Our transformation using your strategies and meeting with you have been nothing short of life changing. Many thanks again Michael

Warren

One year ago my world came crashing down when I found out that my amazing, seemingly perfect husband had been seeing prostitutes for 9 months. I am a mum with three small boys. I didn't know what to do or how to function. All I knew is that I had to hold it together for my children. After seeing several marriage counsellors who were unable to help, my husband and I found Michael. He listened, ...

Karina and John

Michael Myerscough surprised us when we discovered he was a "Marriage Coach" as my wife, Brenda had been telling me of a book she was browsing. "The New Rules of Marriage" written by Michael’s mentor. Within the first three sessions, I found that the "mechanical" process of "accountability" allowed me to 'ask' for what I need in the relationship and to be willing to hear the requests of my partner; the love of my life. Michael provided ...

David

In my 1st session with Michael I realized that Michael "got me" like no other professional ever has. Michael pin pointed issues that I have had for more than 50 years that have held me back. He has helped me to improve my life and save our marriage. Even better the work we did was respectful and a lot more entertaining that I would ever have thought possible.

Bob

We met Michael, at a point where our marriage was at rock bottom and I was really struggling with how it was going. I wanted out, but something kept me wanting to make it work. We had seen marriage counsellors, before, but Michael, was different. He has a great knack of getting to the root of the issue, using humor and a lot of sensitivity; he understands your boundaries and knows when to cross them. ...

Phillipa and Roger

My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and most of those years were spent raising our 6 children and striving to achieve goals that we had set for ourselves. Imagine my dismay when we had accomplished almost everything we had dreamed about and we were a light year away from happy. Our many homes, cars, vacations and travels did little to cover up the fact that we had grown ...

Mary

Michael is a truly great marriage counsellor. He sized up my marriage faster than any therapist we've seen before (and we've seen a few), and we made more progress in 3 months with him than I thought possible. I understand where my wife is coming from more than ever before which is amazing. I no longer feel our marriage is at deaths door. I would highly recommend him to any couple who is struggling.

Martin

Michael I really appreciate you following up. I do know you tried very hard and I appreciate that so much. The fact you couldn't save my marriage is sad but as you said sometimes people aren't meant to be together. My brain tells me that I will get through this, but at the moment my heart is telling me otherwise. I am determined to have a good and better life and I will work very hard ...

Lynsey

We stumbled across Michael’s site during a time of absolute marriage hell and upheaval. I thought my marriage was over. My husband turned around one morning out of the blue and said he was done with our 14 year marriage and he was attracted to someone else. I was completely blindsided and was at an utter loss. My whole world was destroyed in an instant. I convinced him ...

Emma and Mario

Before my wife and I met and started working with Michael, my marriage was over. My wife had "left the building" and only agreed to couples therapy as a means of a smoother exit to our relationship. Michael explained to her that a smooth exit was not out of the question, but a hard look at how we had gotten to such a place was where to start. With amazing objectivity, he took us through our ...

Steven

My wife found out about an 8 year emotional affair I'd been having. Somehow I'd convinced myself that it wasn't a big deal and that I wouldn't get caught. Well, I got caught and it was a huge deal. It was horrific. At points I was afraid that I'd either killed my wife or she was going to kill me. I had no idea this was going to cause such a big rupture or how ...

Gordon and Jenny

Thank you Michael. Yesterday's intensive was amazing, I really thought I was the only issue and it's been spiralling me down deeper and deeper into this depression. It was at a point where I was questioning my love for Claire as I felt like I was lost. I am very happy just from yesterday's outcome. Thankyou for showing us a way forward and through the mess I got us into. I look forward to future meetings ...

Tony

When I contacted Michael regarding therapy it was with the explicit intent that he help us end our marriage in an amicable and conscious way for the sake of our children. This was our 3rd attempt at couples counselling and I was not interested in the least in "saving my marriage." I realise that if you're reading this you may be thinking "no one understands how bad your marriage is or could possibly have the ...

Maureen

Michael saved both my marriage and myself. I had a crush on another woman which was splitting our marriage. Within two sessions, I realised that firstly I was suffering from depression and two that my crush on this other woman was my way of escaping the bleakness. This was helpful because I was able to let go of the crush and return emotionally to my wife. My wife is probably even happier with Michael than I ...

Graeme

Your teachings has opened up a whole new world for me. I am able to better understand the emotional requirements required, firstly to be genuinely happy with ourselves, and secondly to try to understand and be happy with my wife. If I were to advise anyone who found themselves in the unfortunate position that I was last year and I had to sum up my learning with you it would be; find someone who's advice you can trust ...

Sean

We first visited Michael because we weren’t sure that our marriage was still worth the effort. We’d already tried counselling and had got nowhere but Michael was different! He immediately identified our underlying problems. He often says things we don’t want to hear but balances his insights with humour and compassion. Michael has saved our marriage and has helped us as individuals in the process – we’re happier than we've ever been!

Ashley and Luke

Wow, I never thought I could get someone to get through to my husband and allow him to see himself in true REALITY! Michael Myerscough has been an absolute life changer for my marriage and it is evident that his approach to marriage therapy is a success story in itself. My husband has a drinking problem which has been an issue in our marriage since the beginning. I and my children have witnessed his on and ...
