Dating Therapy
Does the idea of dating overwhelm you?
Do you struggle to navigate the world of dating apps?
Have you lost confidence in yourself and your ability to find someone?
Have you got issues around trust and commitment?
​​
Dating can easily be overwhelming - whether you have no or lots of experience. The world of dating has been completely transformed by apps such as Tinder and Bumble, and as people increasingly interact online and become more selective in their social outings - for better or for worse.
Whether you're feeling apprehensive about joining the dating scene, have deep-seated concerns or past traumas, or simply want to explore how you can navigate the complex modern world of courtship, I'd be more than happy to explore a positive way forward for you.
What is Therapy for Dating?
Therapy for dating is a specialised form of counselling that addresses the emotional and psychological barriers impacting your dating life. It focuses on healing past wounds, understanding current behaviours, and creating a positive mindset towards dating and relationships.
Therapy for dating specifically focuses on issues related to dating and relationships. While it shares many elements with traditional therapy, it incorporates strategies to improve your dating life and relationship-building skills.
How Can I Help You with Dating?
​
Whether you're starting from scratch or a seasoned veteran, there are numerous ways I can support you on your dating journey:
​
-
Clarify goals and expectations: By setting clear goals and expectations, I can help you explore what you're looking for in dating and relationships, and unpack any external expectations that may be influencing you.

My therapy sessions are tailored to your unique needs and challenges. I offer a safe, confidential space to explore your feelings and experiences, helping you build the foundation for healthier relationships.
