Does acute couples therapy help?

Yes! Just one session of acute couples counselling with me will stabilise overwhelming feelings and prevent further damage.

Did you know that 75% of the couples that come to my clinic for acute therapy in Copenhagen solve the problems that brought them to therapy?

Experience shows that this takes about 5 to 8 sessions.

100% money back guarantee

I want your first step into my therapy room to feel safe and grounded.

That is why I offer a 100% money-back guarantee on your first session.

If our session does not feel like the right fit, I will refund your payment on the spot – no questions asked, no conditions.

This is how I use EFT couples therapy in Copenhagen

Getting settled in Møntergade

You arrive at my clinic on Møntergade 4 1116 Copenhagen K, and I will show you in.

You’ll sit together on the sofa, and I’ll sit across from you.

To get us started, I’ll share a little about confidentiality and how else I work. I will also share a little bit of my professional background. 

My focus at this point in time is to create a space where both of you can breathe and settle in.

This is especially helpful if things feel tense between you. Whatever is hard to talk about, we can talk about here.

From there, we begin. I speak with each of you in turn while the other listens. This helps slow the conversation down and give space to what matters.

Throughout the session, I pay close attention to the emotions beneath the words. These are the deeper threads we follow together.  Bu unweaving the conflicts a new understanding and connection begins.

Where do we start?

You’ll be invited into a conversation that touches on questions like:

  • What is the current issue?
  • Why did you reach out now?
  • Do you have any previous experience in therapy?
  • What have you already tried to change things?
  • What patterns do you fall into when things get hard?
  • Who talks most?
  • Who escapes the other - and how?
  • Where do things actually work between you? What still feels good?

By the end of our session, you will have a clearer picture of what is happening and we will have created a structured plan together through your first acute couples therapy in Copenhagen with me.

Reviews about therapy with Mark

Communicating with Mark was easy and smooth. He is clever, competent, and seemed to understand the direction we needed to go. I always felt safe with him and trusted him completely. After our first session of acute couples therapy in Copenhagen, I purchased a 10-session clip card – it made therapy more accessible and saved me thousands of kroner.
Daniel C., age 30
Our experience with Mark as our couple’s therapist began over five years ago. Between demanding careers and raising a young family, we had little time to nurture our relationship. Through a mix of online sessions and couples therapy in Copenhagen, Mark helped us rebuild. We chose a tailored couples therapy programme, which was a smart long-term investment.
Stine & Peter, ages 41 and 43
As a gay man, I grew up in a society that often told me I was not enough. Mark helped me explore how that early messaging shaped my anxious attachment style. I found an old article of his – about how deep wounds can distort self-worth – and it felt written for me.
Alex H., age 38
Before we started therapy, we were facing familiar challenges in our marriage. Both of us had been married before, and we brought a lot from our past into our present. We decided to try Mark’s therapy programme and booked a series of 10 sessions. It saved us time, money, and heartache.
Brian H. and Katrine T., ages 37 and 32
Sessions with Mark can be hard at times – emotionally intense – but they are also inspiring. He quickly got to the root of our dynamic and helped us grow individually. We appreciated the flexibility of being able to move a session online when needed.
Anne-Mette and Nathan, ages 49 and 52
I had been considering therapy for several years. My anxiety often got in the way of daily life, and I also knew I had unprocessed childhood trauma. A friend referred me, and I booked the first session easily online through his site.
Simone F., age 28
Our second couples therapist referred us to Mark. She admitted she could not get through to us. My husband and I worked weekly with Mark for six months – we both enrolled in his structured therapy programme and saw lasting change
Ellen K., age 36
A friend referred me to Mark two years ago. I was going through multiple stressors and wanted professional help around my sexual identity. I used a 10-clip card and spaced the sessions to suit my pace. His article May You Record Your Therapy Session? helped me feel safe showing up.
Charlie (she/her), age 42
Mark is approachable, straightforward, and insightful. He gives me hands-on guidance when needed, and sometimes shares relevant examples from his own life. We appreciated the fair cancellation policy – especially during a time when our schedules were unpredictable.
Tommy D., age 37
We wholeheartedly recommend Mark. We have both seen other psychotherapists, but he stands out. He is intuitive, calm, and ensures both people feel heard. Reading his article My Pledge to You helped us understand his style before starting.
Mikael and Sofie, ages 42 and 37
If you are looking for a therapist, I can warmly recommend Mark. I worked with him during an especially tough life chapter. His multicultural understanding and option for both online and in-person sessions in Copenhagen made it easy to stay consistent.
Vita, age 41
I have been a returning client with Mark for several years. As an expat, I needed someone who understood the cultural adjustment. I enrolled in a long-term therapy programme with Mark – it was a serious commitment, but it saved me a huge amount over time.
Claudia, age 43
The therapist we needed – at the exact right moment. Mark likely saved our marriage. His structured couples therapy helped us navigate differences in attachment style and neurodiversity. We used the tailored programme, and it was worth every kroner.
Joanna and Steven, ages 32 and 36
I have experienced Mark as both grounded and gently challenging. From first contact to our final session, he was steady and sharp. I booked everything online with ease, and it made staying consistent less stressful.
Lasse, age 30
Mark supported me during one of the darkest chapters of my life. He offered not only therapy, but steadiness, advocacy, and emotional grounding. This Psychology Today article on crisis therapy really captures what his support gave me.
Kirstine, age 41
