Individual Coaching in Auckland — For Relationships and Life Transitions
One-to-one coaching for individuals — whether you're finding the right partner, rebuilding after separation, attending coaching without your partner, or preparing yourself for a healthier relationship. Based in Meadowbank, Auckland, working by phone, video, or in person.
Are you experiencing...
I keep attracting the wrong kind of partner, or the same pattern repeats
My partner won't come to coaching, but I want things to improve
I'm rebuilding after a separation or divorce and want to do it differently next time
I want to prepare myself for a healthier relationship before I'm in one
I want to communicate better — in relationships, family, or life generally
The good news: these are learnable skills, not fixed traits.
With over 30 years' experience — as New Zealand's first dating advisor — I've helped people navigate all of the above.
Coaching for where you are now
Dating & Relationship Coaching for Singles
Practical support across the four things that matter most: where to find a partner, how to attract and approach, how to select and sort, and how to keep and strengthen the relationship once you're in it.
Attending Alone
For individuals whose partner isn't ready or willing to join coaching, but who want support improving the relationship from their side.
Rebuilding After Separation or Divorce
Support to process the change, understand what you'd want different next time, and move forward with clarity.
Preparing for a Healthy Relationship
For anyone wanting to do the inner work — communication, patterns, expectations — before their next relationship begins.

Testimonials
"Living on a farm with little opportunity of coming across men, as well as not being great at flirting or seeing that someone was interested, were just some of my challenges to finding a partner. I had a couple of sessions with Denise where we focused totally on these challenges and how to find and approach someone who might be of interest."

“Living on a farm with little opportunity of coming across men as well as not being great at flirting or seeing that someone was interested were just some of my challenges to finding a partner. I can also be a little shy and stand offish so wasn’t very confident about the whole relationship thing. I had a couple of sessions with Denise (by phone) where we focused totally on these challenges and how to find and approach someone who might be of interest. Four months ago I met a lovely man via y. The lovely man has continued to be so and we are very happy! He has also just asked me to move into his house with him which is huge, but exciting too. Thankyou for your help earlier on.”

“I first had contact with Denise in September 2008 as I was struggling to find the right girl for me and had lost lots of confidence following my marriage break up years ago. I was still keen to get married again if I found the right person but I was hesitant to approach women, missed lots of opportunities to talk to women, wasn't sure if someone was interested in me, was really unsure about the steps and etiquette to dating and just not knowing the right sort of person for me now. After working with Denise over the last 9 months I have noticed a huge difference in where I am now. I am much more confident now and have had lots of interest from women. But more importantly I am now in a serious relationship with someone very special and don't think I would have got to this point so quickly without Denise.”
