Meet Mark, psychotherapist and EFT couples therapist
I am Mark Colclough, MA, a psychotherapist and EFT couples therapist specialising in expats and international couples. I work in English and Danish, from my practice in central Copenhagen and online.
Practising since 2004, I bring a bicultural perspective to work with individuals and couples across languages and cultural contexts. My work integrates depth-oriented psychotherapy with approaches such as integral psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, Jungian psychoanalysis, and object relations theory. I also have specialist training in attachment theory, narcissism, and borderline personality disorder.
For support with life between cultures, explore expat psychotherapy or expat couples therapy. My practice is supported by ongoing training and supervision. To read more about my background, training, and approach, visit About me.
The importance of supervision
Good therapy begins with good supervision
I regularly meet with experienced senior psychotherapists in Denmark and abroad to reflect on my work, challenge my thinking, and continue developing my skills. This ongoing process supports the quality of my individual and couples therapy, helping me offer thoughtful, ethical, and effective care.
My focus is simple: excellence, integrity, and impact.

This is when you need a neurodiverse couples back-to-back therapy with me
You need more continuity than weekly therapy can provide, and your schedule or circumstances require concentrated work.
You need this service when ordinary conversations repeatedly end in escalation, shutdown or confusion and neither of you can find a workable way back. You do not need matching diagnoses or perfect language. If the relationship is no longer functioning as either of you needs, that is enough reason to act.
In more than 21 years of practice, I have learned that couples need their actual pattern understood rather than forced into a standard script. I identify what is overloading each partner, which meanings are being missed and what must change immediately.
Is overload turning small demands into major relationship crises?
Noise, disrupted routines, work, parenting and unfinished tasks can accumulate until one additional request becomes impossible. The resulting reaction may look disproportionate when the earlier load remains invisible.
I help you identify the build-up and agree what must be reduced, postponed or communicated earlier. If the crisis is already governing daily life, book an acute neurodiverse couples session with me.
Are you speaking clearly and still misunderstanding each other?
One partner may focus on literal words while the other expects tone, context or indirect cues to carry the emotional meaning. Both can leave the conversation convinced that the other person refused to listen.
I slow the exchange down, make meanings explicit and separate intention from impact. Clear communication must replace tests that depend on mind-reading.
Does uncertainty make one of you seek constant reassurance?
Changes in plans, tone or availability can create intense uncertainty. Repeated questions may be an attempt to find the missing detail rather than a refusal to accept an answer.
I help you identify what remains unclear and ask for reassurance in a specific, workable form. The other partner learns to respond without being made responsible for eliminating every uncertainty.
Does one of you shut down when demands become overwhelming?
A partner may lose words, become highly factual or need complete distance when emotional and sensory demands exceed capacity. The withdrawal may protect against further overload while feeling like abandonment to the other person.
I help you recognise earlier signs, communicate the need for a pause and agree exactly when contact resumes. Space must protect regulation without becoming disappearance.
Are masking and invisible effort creating resentment?
One partner may appear capable while using enormous energy to accommodate routines, social demands or communication expectations. When that effort finally collapses, the change can seem sudden and unfair.
I help you make invisible labour and hidden needs discussable. Both partners must be able to ask for accommodation without one person carrying the entire relationship.
Are you questioning whether your differences can coexist?
You may no longer know whether the difficulty reflects incompatible needs or a relationship organised around unclear expectations and chronic overload.
I help you test what changes through direct communication, realistic accommodation and responsibility. The aim is an informed decision, not pressure to remain together at any cost.
If the crisis is active now, request a call or book a session so that we can establish what kind of immediate support you need.

Get in touch
What a neurodiverse couples back-to-back therapy with me will help you do
Closely scheduled sessions let us stay with the work long enough to understand the pattern, make changes and review what happens next.
I help you understand how processing, sensory load, executive strain and masking affect the cycle between you. We translate insight into clearer requests, boundaries, routines and repair.
My role is active and structured. I will challenge mind-reading, chronic self-sacrifice and behaviour that causes harm. Neurodivergence can explain a difficulty without removing responsibility for its impact.
How will I help you understand the real crisis between you?
The central crisis may concern trust, loneliness or unequal responsibility, while neurodivergent differences intensify how it is communicated and experienced.
I separate the relationship injury from the conditions surrounding it. This prevents both blaming neurodivergence for everything and ignoring adjustments that could genuinely help.
Can you recognise overload before the cycle takes over?
Yes. Both partners can learn the earlier signs of reduced language, rising urgency, sensory strain or narrowing tolerance.
I help you build a shared pause plan that states what happens, how long the break lasts and how contact resumes. Regulation becomes a relationship responsibility rather than a private emergency.
Can you communicate without expecting mind-reading?
Yes. We make requests, limits and emotional meanings explicit rather than relying on hints that one partner may not perceive or interpret as intended.
I help you remain direct without becoming cold and emotional without becoming vague. Clear language protects intimacy when assumptions repeatedly fail.
Can accommodation remain fair to both partners?
Yes. Accommodation should remove unnecessary barriers while preserving the needs, dignity and agency of both partners. It is not an exemption from every difficult conversation.
I help you agree what should change, who is responsible and how the arrangement will be reviewed. A workable relationship cannot depend on one partner disappearing.
How will you repair the injuries caused by misunderstanding?
Repair begins when intention and impact can be held together. A partner may not have intended rejection, but the loneliness or hurt created still needs recognition.
I structure the conversation so responsibility does not become shame and explanation does not become dismissal. Repair requires both understanding and visible behavioural change.
What would a more sustainable relationship require?
A sustainable relationship may require clearer routines, explicit expectations, protected recovery time and a fairer distribution of planning and emotional labour.
I help you decide what must change and how progress will be recognised. The goal is not to make both partners function alike, but to build a relationship that can hold both realities.

How your neurodiverse couples back-to-back therapy with me is planned
Back-to-back does not mean relentless therapy. I plan the timing, breaks and intensity around what you can use productively.
We begin by deciding what the back-to-back work must address and how much concentrated time is appropriate. I will not prescribe a standard package before understanding the problem, your schedule and your emotional capacity.
The plan may include several sessions on one day, consecutive days, appointments distributed across one week or a weekend back-to-back format. Online, in-person and combined formats can be considered.
Several sessions can be held on the same day
Same-day sessions preserve momentum when travel, work or urgency makes weekly appointments impractical.
I build in deliberate breaks so you can eat, walk, rest and absorb what has emerged before continuing.
We can work on consecutive days
Consecutive-day sessions allow overnight reflection without losing the thread of the work.
I review your response each day and adjust the next session rather than following a rigid programme.
Sessions can be concentrated within one week
Several appointments across one week offer continuity while leaving time for practice and ordinary responsibilities.
This format works well when you need momentum without multiple sessions in a single day.
Weekend back-to-back therapy fit demanding schedules
A weekend back-to-back format protects the work from professional commitments, school runs and competing weekday calendars.
Weekend availability is planned individually, including session blocks, breaks and any preparation beforehand.
The pace must remain emotionally usable
More hours are not automatically better. Concentrated work must respect concentration, regulation and emotional capacity.
I monitor the quality of the work and slow down, pause or change the schedule when that is clinically responsible.
Integration and follow-up are part of the plan
Back-to-back work should connect to what happens after the final concentrated session.
We decide whether you need follow-up, structured individual psychotherapy, long-term couples therapy or no further appointments.

Frequently asked questions
What is a neurodiverse couples back-to-back therapy?
It is a concentrated series of closely scheduled sessions rather than conventional weekly therapy.
The schedule is designed around the work, your capacity and practical availability.
Can I book multiple sessions on the same day?
Yes. We can schedule more than one session in a day when that format is appropriate.
Restorative breaks are planned, so back-to-back does not mean continuous therapy without recovery.
Can sessions take place on consecutive days?
Yes. Consecutive days preserve momentum while allowing overnight reflection.
I review how you are responding and adjust the following day accordingly.
Can we arrange the back-to-back work within one week?
Yes. Several sessions can be distributed across a single week.
This offers continuity without requiring a full day or weekend.
Do you offer weekend back-to-back therapy?
Yes, subject to individual planning and availability.
Weekend back-to-back sessions suit busy professionals, parents, travelling clients and couples coordinating two schedules.
Can the back-to-back work be online or in person?
Yes. It may be online, in person or use a combination of both.
I recommend the format that best supports privacy, concentration and the work itself.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no responsible standard answer before I understand your situation and goal.
I recommend a schedule, explain why and review it as the back-to-back work progresses.
Will back-to-back sessions be emotionally overwhelming?
They should not be. Concentrated work must respect your limits and ability to integrate.
I plan breaks, monitor your response and change the pace when more therapy would no longer be useful.
What does a back-to-back therapy cost?
Fees depend on the number and type of sessions. Contact me to discuss the schedule.
Payment may be made by invoice and bank transfer or, where offered, by card through Stripe. The total amount payable is shown before you confirm payment. Therapy discounts and bundles may provide significant savings.
How do I arrange a back-to-back therapy with you?
Book a free discovery call or contact me directly.
Tell me the service, timing and format you are considering. I will recommend same-day, consecutive-day, within-a-week or weekend sessions.
