Real Couples, Real Results

Stories from couples who took the step and found the help they needed.

We came in thinking our marriage was over. Three days later, something had shifted between us — not just inside us, but in the way we hold each other. Kobus helped us see what was actually going on and how to begin repairing it.

J&M

Johan & Marelize

Couples Intensive

The workshop changed how we communicate entirely. We used to argue in circles. Now we actually hear each other. The tools we learnt are things we use every day. We are grateful beyond words.

D&S

David & Sarah

Couples Workshop

After an affair, we did not think our marriage could survive. The intensive gave us a space to face what had happened honestly. Today, the connection between us is deeper than it has ever been. It was the hardest and best thing we ever did.

When You Are Stuck but Not Sure What to Do

Most couples who reach out are somewhere in this space. The Clarity Consultation is designed for exactly this situation.

Same fight, different day

You keep having the same argument and nothing changes. You have tried talking it out, but you end up back in the same loop every time.

Not sure how serious it is

You feel the distance growing but you are not sure whether you are overreacting or whether something is genuinely wrong between you.

Too many options, no clarity

You have heard about therapy, workshops, intensives — but you do not know which one is right for your situation, and the decision itself feels overwhelming.

Waiting is making it worse

You know you should do something, but the longer you wait, the harder it gets to take the first step. The uncertainty keeps you stuck.

The Clarity Consultation Is For Couples Who…

Are stuck in recurring conflict and cannot seem to break the cycle

Feel disconnected and unsure how serious things really are

Are unsure whether they need therapy, a workshop, or an intensive

Want expert guidance before committing to a larger process

Have tried talking it out on their own and it is not working

Want a clear, honest assessment from an experienced professional

What Happens in the 2 Hours

This is not two therapy sessions. It is a structured consultation and assessment process with a clear outcome.

1

Your Story

Each partner gets space to share their experience of what is happening in the relationship. Without interruption, without judgement. Kobus listens for the patterns beneath the surface.

2

Pattern Identification

Together, you begin to see the core stuck pattern driving the conflict and disconnection. This is often the moment that changes everything — understanding what has been happening between you and why.

3

Professional Assessment

Based on what emerges, Kobus provides an honest assessment of where your relationship is and what kind of help fits best. No overselling, no pressure — just a clear professional opinion based on 30 years of experience.

4

Clear Recommendation

You leave with a specific recommendation: a Couples Intensive, a Workshop, or Ongoing Sessions. You also leave with a better understanding of your relationship than you had when you walked in.

Your Possible Next Steps

Based on the consultation, Kobus will recommend the pathway best suited to your situation.

Couples Workshop

A guided weekend experience for couples who want to learn skills, understand patterns, and reconnect in a group setting.

Ongoing Sessions

Regular therapy sessions for sustained, gradual work. Ideal as a follow-up to an intensive or workshop, or as a standalone process.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. This is a structured consultation and assessment process, not open-ended therapy. The purpose is specific: to understand your relationship dynamic, identify the core pattern, and provide a clear professional recommendation on the best next step. It is designed to give you clarity, not to begin ongoing treatment.
Ideally, yes. The consultation works best when both partners are present. However, if your partner is hesitant, contact us and we can discuss the best way to approach the situation. It is very common for one partner to be more ready than the other.
Yes. The Couples Clarity Consultation is available both in person at Kobus’s practice in Pretoria and online via video call. The process works equally well in either format.
Then you can enquire about a Couples Intensive directly — no consultation required. The Clarity Consultation is for couples who are unsure which pathway is right. If you already know, go straight to what feels right. Learn about Intensives
The R1,900 rate is a limited reactivation offer to make the first step more accessible. The standard fee is R3,300. This is not a permanent discount — it is an introductory rate while we establish this consultation as a dedicated service. We want to remove barriers to couples getting the clarity they need.
You will leave with a clear recommendation. There is no pressure to commit to anything during the consultation itself. You will have time to discuss the recommendation as a couple before deciding on next steps. When you are ready, we will help you book the right process.
Consultations are typically available within 1-2 weeks, depending on Kobus’s schedule. Send your enquiry and we will get back to you with available dates as soon as possible.
