In my line of work as a sex and relationship coach, I see a massive influx of couples hitting a wall right around the 7-year and 12-year marks. It is what society traditionally calls the 7-year itch, and it is a very real psychological milestone. This is the phase where one or both partners start to feel a deep sense of dissatisfaction, boredom, and disconnection. But hitting this rut doesn't mean your relationship is over, it simply means the default routine has run its cour

Recent statistics show that approximately a third of Brits are hooking up with colleagues. To many, this might seem surprising, but when you look at the psychological and physical realities of our daily routines, it makes total sense. The workplace is a unique pressure cooker for human connection. Let's look at what is driving these numbers, why people turn to coworkers when things are rocky at home, and how boundaries shift when the festive season rolls around.

If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you have undoubtedly seen couples sitting side-by-side, arms folded, chanting a single phrase into the camera: “We listen and we don’t judge.” The premise of this viral trend is simple. Partners take turns confessing hidden secrets to each other with the ironclad promise that the other person cannot react or get angry. On the surface, it’s done in a completely jokey way.

Have you ever wondered what an ideal timeframe for foreplay actually looks like? While every couple is completely different, aiming for a sweet spot of 15 to 20 minutes can completely transform your intimate life. To understand why this timeframe works so beautifully, we have to look closely at the biological and psychological reality of how our bodies function.

When people worry about being bad at sex, they usually focus entirely on physical mechanics. But as a sex and relationship coach, I know that great sex is actually a reflection of emotional safety, active listening, and open communication. If you missed the feature in the media, here is my full, raw, and real breakdown of the 10 bedroom red flags and the exact coaching tools you can use to bring the spark right back.

We are moving completely away from performance-based expectations and stepping into an era of intention, slow pleasure, and radical bedroom confidence. People are no longer settling for stale, uninspired routines; they are actively seeking out out-of-the-box experiences to reawaken their bodies and minds.

As a relationship coach, I’m seeing a massive shift in how people navigate the hardest parts of dating. Recently, I’ve had a couple of people ask me during my sessions about using ChatGPT or AI to end their relationships. It’s a conversation that has been bubbling under the surface for a while, people used to hire human writers to draft breakup texts, but now they are turning to artificial intelligence to do the heavy lifting.

We live in an incredibly fast-paced world where food is often treated as fuel or just another chore on a never-ending to-do list. I am challenging couples to step away from the microwave and look at the kitchen through a completely different lens. The act of planning, preparing, and cooking meals together is one of the most underutilised, powerful tools for physical and emotional connection. It is an environment where devices are put away, screens are turned off, and partner

I was recently asked by The Sun newspaper to share my professional insights on a relationship trend that puzzles so many: Why do highly successful, intelligent women consistently fall for bad boys? When a woman has her career, finances, and life completely locked down, you would think she’d look for stability in her love life. But often, the exact opposite happens. If you missed the article in the press, here is my full expert breakdown of the psychology...

Living in close proximity to people means our personal lives and social boundaries naturally overlap. But what happens when neighborly relations become a bit more complicated?

When I work with couples who are looking to open up their relationship, the journey often leads to a lifestyle known as hotwifing. Far from breaking a couple apart, when done right, it can have a profound effect on a couple's intimacy. It deepens trust, sharpens communication, and brings long-held fantasies into real-life scenarios.

Have you ever noticed that you snack significantly more when you are in a relationship? Or perhaps you have found yourself hiding your favorite treats at the back of the pantry so your partner won't find them? We are diving deep into the fascinating connection between our love lives and our eating habits. Food is a central pillar of how we socialise, bond, and cope with our feelings. But when does shared snacking cross the line from cozy comfort into emotional secrecy?

When it comes to building a deeply connected, thriving relationship, understanding how you and your partner give and receive affection is everything. This is where the concept of The 5 Love Languages becomes an invaluable tool.

The home café trend is taking over social media, but it is much more than just a aesthetic home decor movement. As a sex and relationship coach, I look at the environments we build and how they affect our emotional state. Transforming a corner of your house into a cozy, personal coffee shop creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that you simply cannot get in a busy public space. Whether you are looking to reignite a romantic spark, support a friend in need of a heart-to-he

I see a lot of seniors navigating life after divorce or bereavement. But as Erobella’s data shows, this newfound freedom is being met with a silent threat, which is a 225% surge in syphilis among the over 65s. This isn't just a health crisis, it’s a symptom of being disconnected from our physical boundaries when it comes to sex. Many clients re-entering the dating world carry a safety barrier, the belief that because pregnancy is no longer a factor, their bodies are closed

With the massive success of The Summer I Turned Pretty on our screens and bookshelves, fans on TikTok have been locked in a fierce debate over Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah. But if we strip away the romantic music and look at the behavior objectively, Jeremiah's actions during the wedding storyline raise some serious, real-life relationship red flags. As a sex and relationship coach, I analyse these dynamics to help people spot toxic patterns in their own lives.

When we think of wedding gifts, it is easy to get caught up in the standard department store registries. But as a sex and relationship coach, I look at gifts through a completely different lens: How will this token support the marriage long after the wedding day is over? Thoughtful, personalised keepsakes and experience-based gifts aren’t just beautiful objects; they are substantial representations of a couple's shared history and future dreams.

Choosing to stay friends with an ex after a short-term relationship presents a very specific set of hurdles. While the romance might have been brief, the emotional fallout can be surprisingly intense. As a relationship coach, I often see clients struggle with lingering romantic or sexual feelings, unwanted attention, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining platonic boundaries when the breakup is still fresh.

It is one of the most common complaints I hear in my coaching practice, particularly from women: "I feel like I’m running the entire house by myself. I don't feel like a partner anymore, I feel like a mother to my husband." Despite living in modern times, society still largely pushes domestic chores into the woman’s domain. Let's be completely raw and real about this: it is exhausting. You both work, you both run the house, and maybe you are both parents.

We all have a type. For some, it’s a shared love for an obscure hobby. For others, it’s a highly specific physical trait, like a fixation on a partner’s hands, neck, or sculpted arms. Take a client of mine, let's call him Lorenzo. When it comes to dating, Lorenzo has an incredibly niche requirement: he is strictly looking for a girl with toned, beautiful arms. When someone has such laser-focused, niche requirements in dating, it begs the question: Is this just a harmless
