Tableside
A session room with small round tables and chairs arranged for conversation

SESSION FORMATS

Three formats.
One approach.

Every Tableside session is facilitated, structured, and prepared. The formats differ in scope, length, and how much continuity your household is looking for.

HOW WE WORK

What every Tableside session has in common

All three formats share the same facilitation methodology. What changes is the scope, duration, and depth of continuity.

Intake first

Short questionnaire sent before every session so the facilitator can prepare prompts suited to your household.

Unhurried pace

The facilitator manages the session structure so that each person has space to finish a thought without being cut off.

No sides taken

The facilitator is not an advocate, advisor, or judge. Their role is to keep the conversation balanced and the room safe.

Take something away

Every format comes with materials — prompt cards, summaries, or notes — that extend the session's value at home.

FORMAT 01

Couples Conversation Session

A single two-hour session for two partners. The facilitator uses prompts from the Tableside dialogue library, selected based on the intake questionnaire each participant completes beforehand.

The facilitator's role is to keep the conversation balanced and moving — not to provide relationship advice or steer toward a particular resolution. Partners leave with a printed prompt card set for home use and a brief reflection note from the facilitator.

Included in this format

  • Pre-session intake questionnaire for both partners
  • Two-hour facilitated session at the Bangsar Baru studio
  • Printed Tableside prompt card set to take home
  • Brief written reflection note from the facilitator
  • Suitable for partners at any relationship stage

Session steps

  1. 01 Book and complete the short intake questionnaire
  2. 02 Arrive at the studio — facilitator opens the session with context and ground rules
  3. 03 Two hours of prompted, facilitated conversation
  4. 04 Receive your prompt card set and reflection note on the way out

FORMAT 02

Blended Family Conversation Block

Three facilitated sessions for blended-family households working through shared topics — daily routines, holiday arrangements, communication across separated households, and expectations between generations.

Sessions are ninety minutes each, spaced two weeks apart. The facilitator helps the family arrive at its own agreements — not imposed frameworks. A workbook is provided, and a written summary of agreements reached is distributed to each adult participant after each session.

Included in this format

  • Three ninety-minute facilitated sessions
  • Family workbook for each participating adult
  • Written agreement summary distributed after each session
  • Sessions spaced two weeks apart for reflection time
  • Can accommodate remote adult participants by arrangement

Block structure

  1. 01 Intake and workbook distribution — household goals clarified
  2. 02 Session 1 — Shared topics opened, early agreements noted
  3. 03 Session 2 — Deeper topics, workbook reviewed, new agreements recorded
  4. 04 Session 3 — Final session, consolidated summary sent to all adults

Year of Family Conversations

A twelve-month subscription for households who want sustained access to facilitated conversation across a year of transitions. One facilitator is assigned to your household for the full duration — building familiarity and context over time.

The subscription includes up to six facilitated family meetings, attendance at Tableside's public studio workshops, and full continuity of facilitation. The service is conversational and educational — it does not include legal advice or family representation of any kind.

Included in this format

  • Up to six facilitated family meetings across twelve months
  • Attendance at all Tableside studio public workshops
  • One dedicated facilitator for the household for the full year
  • Written summaries after each facilitated meeting
  • Suitable for households navigating a sustained period of transition

  2. 02 Facilitated meetings scheduled as needed across the year (up to six)
  3. 03 Public workshops attended as part of the subscription
  4. 04 End-of-year summary of conversations and any recorded agreements
