Throw the old, tattered rulebook out!

Establishing and maintaining a relationship is not a mechanical process to be churned out on an assembly line. You can’t just compile all the right parts (like calling the right number of times, texting the right things to say, making sure you don’t look desperate) and expect to get a great relationship. Unfortunately, people often try to deal with the complexities of a relationship by turning to rules or pretending to be someone they’re not in order to make their partner love them.

Yes it’s true that relationships are tricky and can sometimes feel unpredictable and overwhelming. But, like learning how to use the computer or bake your favourite cake, creating the ideal relationship just takes the right knowledge and skills. Luckily, time and time again research has shown that you can learn these skills. After three psychology degrees, working as a counsellor and as a relationship consultant in an exclusive dating agency, I can teach you the conditions under which a genuine, straightforward connection with another person can be established and maintained – minus all the BS in between.

My approach is to help people move past through the every day dilemmas into a place where a relationship is no longer a source of fear or anger, but a soft spot to fall when you’ve had a rough day.

I give real practical advice about:

• How to attract and keep the right person for you
• Understanding your relationship patterns
• Gaining insight into where you’ve gone wrong in the past
• How to get to know a partner on a on a deeper level
• How to bring up and discuss personal topics like kids and future plans
• How to build trust and intimacy
• How to build a relationship stronger than other people’s influences (i.e. friends and family meddling)
