As a relationship expert I’ve also written a book about how to negotiate each stage of dating and relationship building published by Simon & Schuster (2023).

Hayley Quinn's work as the UKs leading dating coach and relationship expert means she has an in-depth knowledge of the best London locations for single people to meet one another and successfully complete their coaching programmes.
Are psychologists, therapists and relationship experts the same?
"Therapist" is a broad term relating to anyone who offers guidance in the area of psychotherapy. Typically therapists will have obtained a masters degree in a relevant area of study. However, to practice as a psychologist you need to have obtained a doctorate in Psychology. Both therapists and psychologists teach through a system of Western psychology, and encourage people to examine the origins of their thoughts and feelings, to help them prompt change in their lives.
Relationship experts and coaches are often not mental health professionals, but coaches with a proven track record of effectively helping their clients to achieve results. Coaching is more results orientated than therapy, at times more confrontational (meaning it's not broadly suitable for everyone) and also commonly involves an active dialogue between the coach and the mentor. A relationship coach is more likely to tell you where and how you can improve, whilst a therapist might encourage self enquiry and give you tools to come to your own realisations about what next steps you could take.
Working with a relationship coach is most suited to people who don't have pre-existing mental health conditions, and who feel they're ready to take on practical tools to improve their dating and relationships. For the right people, at the right stage of their journey, working with a great coach is a fantastic accelerator for their learning. Much like hiring a personal trainer for your fitness goals, coaching around relationships is also becoming far more commonplace than ever before.
