Anniversaries are the most common reason a couples booking arrives, and the most common reason one goes slightly wrong. Almost all of it comes down to what time of the evening it sits.
Anniversaries are the most common single reason a couples booking arrives, and they are also the most common reason one goes slightly wrong. Not badly — slightly. The room is right, the therapists are right, and the hour lands in the wrong part of the evening. Almost everything worth saying about booking one is really about time of night.
The instinct is to put the session in the early evening and go out afterwards. It is the wrong order and it is worth being firm about. An hour or two of this work leaves the two of you slow, quiet and disinclined to put on a coat. Getting dressed for a restaurant at nine, after a pair of therapists have spent ninety minutes undoing the day, is an act of will that ruins both halves.
Reverse it. Eat first, come back, and let the session be the last thing that happens. We work at any hour and there is no night surcharge, no weekend surcharge and no travel charge inside the ring, which means a booking at eleven on a Saturday costs precisely what one at three on a Tuesday afternoon costs. Late is not a premium here; it is just later. And a session that ends at half past midnight in the room you are already sleeping in ends the way an anniversary should end, which is without a taxi.
Ninety minutes is the shortest length that gives two people a full session each without the second half feeling hurried, but with a pair the arithmetic runs differently: two therapists are €360 an hour, so ninety minutes with a pair is €540, two hours €720, three €1,080. An hour is not a small booking with two therapists — it is two full sessions — and for a first anniversary booking it is often exactly right.
Two hours is the one most couples land on when the evening has nothing after it. It is long enough that the room changes character somewhere in the middle, and short enough that neither of you is still awake at four wondering what to do with the rest of the night. Three is an evening in the proper sense. An overnight with a single therapist is €1,250 across eight hours; a whole night with two is arranged on enquiry, not priced, because the shape of that depends entirely on the night in question. The rest of the ladder is on the prices page.
A surprise booking is a lovely instinct and a poor plan. This is not a restaurant reservation. It asks something of both people, and the person who did not know about it is being asked for it cold, in a hotel room, twenty minutes after finding out. We take these bookings and they can go beautifully, but the failure mode is entirely one-sided and it is not the person who booked.
The better version keeps most of the surprise and loses the ambush: decide together that it is happening, and let one of you arrange everything else. Length, therapists, technique, hour. The other finds out what was chosen when the door opens, which is plenty of surprise for an evening that was already going to be about the two of you. If the balance between you is uneven to begin with, the couples booking is built to carry that, and the pairing at our end changes when we are told.
Booking runs over WhatsApp, or Telegram if you prefer it, and confirmation comes back in about ten minutes. Arrival in the centre is twenty to thirty minutes once confirmed, so this can be a same-night decision — but for an anniversary, book in the afternoon. Not because availability is a problem with forty-five therapists, but because a pair chosen at leisure is a better pair than a pair assembled at eleven, and because the two of you should spend the evening knowing it is arranged rather than checking a phone over dessert.
You settle when she arrives — cash in whichever major currency you carry, a card, or crypto. Settle it once, for the two of you, at the start. Nobody should be doing arithmetic at the end of an anniversary. The booking page lists what to send.
