Dating for Love

Media & Press

Looking for a dating coach to feature in your show, podcast or publication?

The Dating For Love team is on a mission to help people navigate the modern dating scene with more clarity and insight. We work with singles and couples aged 20 - 70 and enjoy contributing to the public conversation around dating, relationships, current trends and where modern love is headed.

Our Approach

A different kind of dating expertise

We don't perpetuate superficial dating strategies or sleazy pickup tactics. In a world flooded with improvised TikTok advice, we ground our recommendations in reputable research and what actually works to build meaningful, lasting relationships - not just score a date.

Jiveny and Joe are husband and wife, and lead the team alongside fellow coach Sheridan. Together we take pride in practising what we preach, and encourage our clients to adopt a philosophy of 'begin as you wish to continue' when building a new relationship.
