Psychology of Dating

About My Approach

As a Clinical Psychologist and Dating Coach, I support individuals who want to date with more confidence, clarity, and self-trust. Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed by modern dating, unsure how to break old patterns, or frustrated by experiences that seem to repeat themselves. My work blends evidence-based psychological strategies with practical coaching to help you approach dating in a grounded, intentional and emotionally regulated way. I host the ‘Psychology of Dating Podcast’ on your usual podcast apps.

What I Support You With

I help clients understand their relationship patterns, attachment dynamics, communication style and emotional triggers, so they can make dating decisions that align with their values. Whether you’re navigating early-stage dating, managing anxiety around texting or pacing, setting boundaries, or wanting to choose partners more intentionally, we work together to build skills that support healthy, secure connections.

For some clients, dating brings up feelings of self-doubt, fear of rejection, or uncertainty about what they truly want. Others find themselves drawn to the same unavailable partners again and again. My role is to help you pause, reflect and re-pattern. You’ll learn practical tools for emotional regulation, self-awareness, communication, and assertiveness — the psychological skills that make dating not just easier, but more effective and authentic.

How Sessions Work

Sessions are collaborative, warm, and grounded in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, trauma informed principles and attachment theory. Alongside reflective work, I provide structured exercises, dating scripts, communication frameworks, and step-by-step strategies to apply between sessions. My aim is to help you feel equipped, not overwhelmed — so you can navigate dating with confidence, clarity, and a deeper sense of self-worth.

You can work with me through my group program Dating with Confidence & Clarity: A Psychological Approach, which combines weekly live sessions with individual sessions, and a comprehensive dating workbook. The program is designed to help you learn core psychological tools, understand patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and date from a more intentional and empowered place.

Who I Work With

I support adults who want to date more intentionally, break unhelpful relationship patterns, and develop secure, healthy relationship skills. Clients often describe wanting to feel more confident, more grounded, and better able to communicate their needs while staying open to connection. I work with individuals across Australia and internationally.

If you’re ready to approach dating with more clarity, skill and self-confidence, I’d love to support you.
