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

If you spend any time on the internet, you’ve probably scrolled past those viral "Am I The Arsehole?" relationship dilemmas. A recent one caught my eye, and as a relationship coach, I just had to break it down. Here’s the setup: A husband plans a getaway to a car race with his female best friend. He assumes his wife knows it’s a trip just for the two of them. Meanwhile, the wife assumes she is naturally invited along for a nice holiday, wanting to share an experience her h

"Til death do us part." For generations, those words have been the golden standard of commitment. But recently, a fascinating concept has been making waves in the relationship world: the renewable marriage contract. The idea is simple. Instead of a lifelong legal binding, you enter a 10-year marriage contract. When year nine or ten rolls around, you choose whether to amicably let the contract expire and go your separate ways, or actively sign on for another decade together

It’s a headline we keep seeing everywhere lately: People are having less sex nowadays. As a sex and relationship coach, I can tell you that this statistic is absolutely real. It is especially prevalent within the younger generations, who are living at home with parents longer and navigating an entirely digital world. But the real question isn't just if we are having less sex, it's why it's happening, and what is taking its place.

According to recent data from the Great British Sex Report, intimacy is officially going global. Nearly one in five Brits (19%) say they actively want to plan trips with sex and physical connection as the primary focus. We are seeing a massive shift from standard beach holidays to intentional, romance-led city escapes, secluded cabin breaks, and specialised sexual wellness destinations.

There is something undeniably luxurious about crawling under the duvet with a warm bowl of food or a fresh cup of coffee. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday breakfast in bed or a comforting late-night snack after an exhausting day, the bed can feel like the ultimate sanctuary. But as a relationship and wellness coach, I often look at our daily habits through two lenses: how they affect our bodies (and nervous systems), and how they impact our connections with our partners.

Moving in with a partner is an incredibly exciting milestone. You’re picking out furniture, envisioning cozy nights in, and planning your future under one roof. But here is a sobering statistic: more than half of people in the UK say they’ve almost broken up, or actually did break up, after moving in together.

Breaking the stigma. Discover the real causes behind compulsive sexual behavior, its impact on relationships, and holistic tools like Tantra breathwork to heal.

Have you ever found yourself screaming at your partner over how they loaded the dishwasher? Or maybe you’ve felt a heavy, unspoken awkwardness in the room, even though neither of you has officially argued yet? In my work as a sex and relationship coach, I see couples trapped in this cycle all the time. Often, the explosive arguments we have over tiny, mundane things aren't actually about the chores at all. They are the breaking points of hidden relationship tensions that have

Relationships should be a partnership of equals. But sometimes, you wake up and realize you aren’t just a partner, you feel like a full-time parent. If you constantly find yourself cleaning up messes (both physical and emotional), chasing down shared financial contributions, or tiptoeing around tantrums, you might be dealing with an emotionally immature partner. Often referred to as a manchild, this is a grown man who relies on his partner or parents to handle the basic re

What are the pros of having sex on a sofa? It allows you to mix things up a little, especially if things have been a bit dull in the bedroom department lately. You can make it comfortable using soft textures which feel great against the skin. It also gets you into different sex positions, as your body can be raised up against the back of the sofa. It’s also more of a spontaneous thing for couples to do, which keeps the excitement going.

We’ve all heard the term “quiet quitting” used in the workplace, but over the last year, I’ve noticed a deeply concerning trend: it has officially entered the bedroom. When a relationship is reaching its end, it rarely happens with a sudden, dramatic explosion. More often, it’s a slow, quiet drift. Partners who don't want to be in the relationship anymore—but aren't quite ready to leave—will do the bare minimum amount of work required to stay connected.

We’ve all been there: wishing our partner could just know exactly what we need without us having to say a word. But is expecting someone to read your mind a realistic standard, or a recipe for heartbreak?
