Why Work With Us

Finding real, lasting love, whether with someone new or the partner you already have is one of life’s greatest challenges. After more than 30 years of experience in relationships and coaching, I know first-hand how hard it can be to move on from heartbreak, navigate narcissistic trauma, and trust love again.

I’ve lived it. I’ve faced the break-ups, the baggage, and the doubts and I’ve come out the other side in a healthy, loving relationship.

I’m delighted to announce that my real-life partner, Steve, has now joined Relationship Retreats to support clients on their own journeys. I couldn’t be more excited. Steve has been my grounding, steady rock and a male mentor whose work connects deeply with individuals from hard-to-reach backgrounds. Seeing and feeling how he has helped us transform our relationship, I know his background, experience, and focus will bring a powerful new dynamic to the lives of those we work with.

Together we’ve done the work to heal, grow, and hold each other accountable. We’re living proof that it’s possible to build a relationship that doesn’t just survive the past, but thrives because of the lessons it taught us.

Whether you’re:
• Single and unsure what love should look or feel like at this stage of life,
• A couple feeling lost or drifting apart, unsure how to find your way back, or
• Simply ready to stop sabotaging and start enjoying a relationship that feels right,

…we’re here to guide you. You can work with either of us individually or both of us together. During your initial consultation, we’ll help you decide which approach is best, whether that’s one of us taking the lead or the power of two coaches supporting you side by side.

At Relationship Retreats, we coach, mentor, and support singles and couples to move beyond pain, recognise healthy love, and create partnerships that grow stronger through life’s inevitable changes.

Since Covid I’m seeing more couples with this one problem….

By Genevieve Gresset, Relationship Expert & Matchmaker After working with couples for three decades, I can tell you this: most relationships don’t fall apart because of one huge, dramatic moment. More often, it’s the slow fade, the missed moments, the unspoken needs, the creeping sense that you....

Let’s talk about taking chances…

The biggest risk I ever took was letting love back into my life. Now this isn’t a smoochy (should be on Facebook) post it’s about reality.

The world’s in turmoil right now and no one really knows what tomorrow will bring. The uncertainty, anxiety and fear that’s everywhere feels incredibly strong and scary right now. Which is why finding your tribe is imperative, more so now than ever.

Your tribe consists of your friends, family, work colleagues and your significant other.

They say feeling truly loved, valued and connected helps heal, grow and empower us to be better versions of ourselves.

Surrounding ourselves with the right people is good for our health, our mental wellbeing and so much more and has now been proven to help us live longer and have less illnesses.

I’ve seen and experienced it personally, how negative relationships both personal and professional can cripple us on every level. I’ve worked with thousands of people over the years and seen them go from quivering wrecks to blossom into the most confident, glowing people that I couldn’t be more proud of. Growth is a painful, difficult journey and having the right tribe by your side is essential.

💕this week is my amazing partner and my Anniversary. An Anniversary that may never have happened if I hadn’t had my tribe supporting me and holding my hand to find and trust in love again. 🥰

Even us “love experts” need the right encouragement and support to take that first brave step towards finding “yourself and your person”. 🤦‍♀️

🙏 Today I’m grateful to myself and my people for their love and support and I ask you… who is in your tribe? How strong is your tribe to see you through these next months and years? Have you got the right people in your tribe?

It’s always important to check in and ensure that you have the right people and if you don’t there is no harm in asking for help. Just like I did to get yourself ready to recognise and receive it when it presents itself! I’m always happy to chat so drop me a DM and let’s give your Tribe a health check. 💕

Let’s talk about dating and why your mindset might be pushing the right people away.

Your brain is wired to scan for threats. It’s called negativity bias.
Back in caveman days, it helped us survive lions.
Now? It’s sabotaging your love life.

That constant scanning for “what’s wrong” can leave you stuck in a loop of doubt, frustration, and self-protection. And here’s the blunt truth:

🧩 If you’re always expecting disappointment, guess what you’ll find?
🕳️ If you’re convinced dating is a waste of time, it will be.
🪞 If you stay in a guarded, cynical headspace, you’re far more likely to attract emotionally unavailable people or worse, narcissists.

Negativity repels genuine connection.
It repels kindness.
It repels relationship-ready partners who are emotionally safe.

Want to attract better? It starts with thinking better.

When you shift into a more hopeful, open, and positive mindset, you become more magnetic to the right kind of people those who are kind, emotionally intelligent, and ready for love.

Here’s a simple but powerful daily habit to start rewiring your thinking:

📓 Each evening, jot down 5 good things from your day.
Big or small a compliment, a peaceful moment, someone making you laugh, a good meal, a text that made you smile.

You’re not being naïve. You’re retraining your brain to stop obsessing over red flags—and start recognising green ones.

💬 It helps you stay centred
🪷 It lifts your emotional energy
🎯 And it makes you more emotionally available—and far more attractive to someone who actually wants a relationship.

Dating success isn’t just about who’s out there.
It’s about who you are when you meet them.

Need help shifting your mindset, spotting patterns, or attracting the kind of love that lasts?
📩 Drop me a message for support, advice or just a nudge in the right direction. I’m here to help you rewrite your dating story.

Let’s make sure the next chapter is a good one

“Without you this wouldn’t have been possible” I’ll take that today!

Well today was one of those days… days that you feel happy that you did something really special for someone else and the proof drops through your door!

This postcard has so much significance I don’t know where to start.

For confidentiality I’m obviously not going to mention names or disclose anything personal. This couple I have worked with had filled for divorce and for both of them there was no way back. Working with them both to break up amicably and with love and respect and realised that they were divorcing for reasons that could be fixed and worked through. Fast forward a few months of working all together and this postcard is from their fresh start, in their words they never knew they could love each other more than they do now. They’ve found a love with each other that goes beyond their dreams. They’ve found a whole new relationship and meaning together and they are beyond happy and grateful. “Without you this wouldn’t have been possible” I’ll take that today!

"THE BEST MARRIAGE ADVICE EVER"

Choose to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.

Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling and when possible, try to keep your phone off when you’re together with your spouse.

Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the “currency of relationships” so consistently invest time into your marriage.

Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage and remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.

Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy, and even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.

In every argument, remember that there won’t be a “winner” and a “loser.” You are partners in everything so you’ll either win together or lose together. Work together to find a solution.

Remember that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It’s usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak. Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It takes more than s*x to build a strong marriage, but it’s nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it!

Remember that marriage isn’t 50-50, divorce is 50-50. Marriage has to be 100-100. It’s not splitting everything in half, but both partners giving everything they’ve got!

Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.

Learn from other people, but don’t feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to anyone else’s. God’s plan for your life is masterfully unique!

Don’t put your marriage on hold while you’re raising your kids or else you’ll end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.

Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.

Never lie to each other. Lies break trust and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.

When you’ve made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be quick to say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”

When your husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly which will promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You should be quick to say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”

Be patient with each other. Your spouse is always more important that your schedule.

Model the kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good husbands and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.

Never talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect your spouse at all times and in all places.

Always wear your wedding ring. It will remind you that you’re always connected to your spouse and it will remind the rest of the world that you’re off limits!

Connect into a community of faith. A good church can make a world of difference in your marriage and family.

Pray together. Every marriage is stronger with God in the middle of it.

When you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, say nothing every time!

Never consider annulment as an option. Remember that a “perfect marriage” is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

If you are struggling in your relationship, reach out. Real help is closer than you think.

What’s missing in your relationship?

Be honest… is it one of these?

1. Real communication – Not just talking, but actually listening.

2. Mutual respect – Do you both feel truly valued and heard?

3. Trust – The kind that’s built on honesty, not guesswork.

And here’s a little secret:
Couples who try new or slightly adventurous things together often feel closer and more connected. Why? It activates the same part of the brain that made you fall for each other in the first place.

So, what’s your relationship craving right now?
