As a love, dating and relationships coach, the author of 'How to Fall in Love' and the host of 'The Love Retreat', I support people to transform their relationship with themselves, grow in self-esteem and self-confidence, understand their unhealthy relationship patterns and change them for healthier ones, and face their fears so that they can find and form a healthy and loving relationship. I specialise in working with high-achieving, busy professionals who may have neglected their personal and romantic lives, as I did for many years in my first career as a Reuters political correspondent, and who may be bemused and confused by their single status. Many of my clients are childless by circumstance, not by choice, or they are reaching the end of their fertile years and worried they won't find a partner in time to have a family. As a midlife mentor, I support people to connect with their authentic selves and understand their true passions so that they can break free from careers that have left them feeling soul dead, depleted and in some cases, burnt out. I support my clients to relight that inner fire and pursue their true purpose, with courage, clarity and confidence. In many cases, this rediscovery of the authentic self is a prerequisite for finding a healthy and loving relationship. As a motivational speaker, I support people to achieve their full potential in work, life and relationships, while maintaining their physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing. My talks draw on my own experience of burnout, breakdown and failed relationships while working in a demanding, high-profile role as a senior Reuters correspondent, based in the UK parliament. Combining powerful personal testimony with professional expertise, I speak on the following topics:* Managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and imposter syndrome * Avoiding overwhelm, burnout and breakdown, especially in high-adrenaline professions * Avoiding or recovering from addictive and compulsive
