One-to-one relationship and dating coaching with Mila Smith, available online and personalised to your challenges and goals.

Hi! I'm Mila Smith, a certified UK Relationship & Dating Coach
​My mission is to help men and women create greater harmony in their lives through healthier, happier relationships where they feel safe, valued and truly at home.
​
With over 25 years’ experience in relationship management, I help clients let go of emotional baggage, break unhealthy patterns and make wiser choices in love - combining research-backed insight with practical guidance and empathy.
​
I’m certified through the School of Matchmaking & Relationship Sciences, with training based on a remarkable 30+ year study from one of the world’s most trusted relationship experts. No pseudo-science, crystal ball gazing or unrealistic promises.
​​​​
My husband, Jeremy, and I founded From Single to Couple because we've lived the journey. We know the uncertainty, disappointment and hope that come with ending painful relationships and searching for the right one.
​​
I know what it's like to question yourself...
To wonder why relationships never seem to work out...
To miss having someone to turn to when life gets hard - or to share the good moments with...
However, this can change for good. Your past doesn’t define your future. With the right support, you'll make healthier choices in love and create the secure, loving relationship you’ve been longing for.​
​
That's why we're here.
Healthy love isn't luck. It's something you can learn, build and nurture
If you find yourself questioning why relationships never seem to work out; feeling exhausted by dating and endless swiping on dating apps, or wondering if you'll ever meet the right person, you're not alone.
​​
At From Single to Couple, we help you move beyond heartbreak and unhealthy patterns towards happier, more secure and fulfilling relationships. Through science-backed coaching, practical tools and genuine empathy, you’ll build the self-awareness, emotional security and self-trust to make wiser choices in love and find a relationship that truly feels like home.

in a relationship but questioning whether it’s healthy or right for them and so on...
Sound familiar? You don't have to figure it all out through trial and error.

Dating & Relationship Coaching FAQ:
It's natural to have questions before taking the next step. Here, you’ll find answers to some of the questions we hear most often, so you can feel informed, reassured and clear about whether working together is right for you.
Q: What does a dating coach do?
A: A dating coach helps you understand what may be getting in the way of finding or building the right relationship, and gives you practical support to make healthier choices and become a happier person. Depending on your situation, dating coaching can help you: • let go of emotional baggage and break unhealthy relationship patterns • get clear on your values and what really matters in a long-term partner • recognise red flags and emotionally unavailable people earlier • feel more confident with online dating, from apps and profiles to first dates • decide when a relationship is worth investing in, and when it may be better to walk away A dating coach won't choose a partner for you. My role is to help you understand yourself better, recognise compatibility more clearly and make wiser choices with confidence.
Q: How do I find a good UK dating coach?
A: Start by looking for a dating coach whose approach matches your goals. If you’re looking for a healthy, lasting relationship rather than simply more dates, consider a dating coach who goes beyond dating tactics and draws on relationship science to help you understand patterns, compatibility and partner selection. At From Single to Couple, I take a research-based, yet practical approach to dating and relationships, helping clients make more informed choices in love and achieve not just what they want, but also what they truly need. I work online with clients across the UK and internationally, so location doesn't have to be a barrier. A free, confidential 30-minute discovery call is a good way to see whether my approach feels right for you. You can book yours here: www.single-to-couple.com/booking-page
Q: What makes a dating coach trustworthy?
A: A trustworthy dating coach combines relevant training, practical experience and a genuine interest in understanding your situation. While there are many excellent self-taught coaches, certification specifically in relationship science, rather than more generic life coaching, provides a structured, research-based foundation. Google reviews are helpful, but don't judge solely by the number of testimonials. Dating coaching is deeply personal, and many clients prefer to keep their experiences private. Be cautious of anyone who claims they can "diagnose" you within minutes or spends more time talking than listening. Responsible coaching should begin with understanding you rather than making assumptions. I'm a certified Relationship & Dating Coach through the School of Matchmaking & Relationship Sciences. My training is rooted in relationship science, including Dr Terri Orbuch's 35-year study of marriage, divorce and new love. Unlike many dating coaches, I work with both men and women of different ages and backgrounds, giving me a broader understanding of modern relationship dynamics and the challenges people face at different stages of life.
Q: Should I choose 1:1 dating coaching or an online dating course?
A: It depends on the level of support you're looking for. If you'd like personalised guidance tailored to your unique circumstances, 1:1 coaching allows us to explore your relationship patterns, answer your questions and create a plan that's specific to you. If you prefer to learn at your own pace, the Dating Success Framework is an online video guide with practical, step-by-step support for people dating after divorce or a long-term relationship, available for a one-off fee. If you start with the Dating Success Framework and later decide you'd benefit from 1:1 coaching, we'll deduct the cost of the guide from your coaching package. That way, you can begin with the option that feels right for you, knowing you can always build on it later.
Q: How much does a dating coach cost?
A: The right level of support looks different for everyone. Some people need help with one particular issue, while others benefit from more structured support over a longer period. During your free, confidential 30-minute discovery call, we’ll talk about what’s happening, what you’d like to change and the options that may suit you best. I’ll explain the costs clearly before you make any decisions, and there’s no obligation. If 1:1 coaching isn’t within your budget at the moment, the Dating Success Framework offers a more affordable alternative, with practical, step-by-step guidance you can work through in your own time.
Q: Why would I need a dating coach?
A: You can be highly intelligent and successful in other areas of life and still make poor decisions when it comes to love. Dating and relationship coaching can be particularly helpful if you keep getting involved with incompatible partners, struggle to meet the right people, feel exasperated by modern dating or dating apps, or are starting over after divorce or a long-term relationship etc. You'd seek expert guidance for help with your finances, career, business, fitness and health. Yet choosing a life partner - one of the most critical decisions of your life - is often left to chance. A good dating coach will provide an objective perspective, help you understand what is getting in your way and use relationship research to help you approach dating with greater clarity. You don’t need to wait until things go wrong. Choose a more intelligent and intentional approach to partner selection and avoid the pitfalls. You won't find these dating and relationship tips on Reddit.
Q: Is dating coaching worth it?
A: That depends on how important finding a healthy, happy relationship is to you. Research shows that healthy relationships support our wellbeing, while unhealthy ones can affect both our mental and physical health. Many people seek expert advice when making important financial, career or health decisions, yet leave one of life's biggest decisions - choosing a partner - largely to chance. Dating coaching will help you make better relationship decisions, recognise unhealthy patterns and approach dating with greater clarity and confidence. If it helps you avoid years of frustration, repeated heartbreak or another incompatible relationship, it can be one of the most valuable investments you make.
Q: I'm ashamed of my dating history. Will a dating coach judge me?
A: Judging is certainly not something I ever do. Many intelligent, successful people often feel embarrassed about mistakes they've made in love. We can usually see other people's mistakes clearly but remain unaware of our own blind spots. That's simply part of being human. I understand because I was once in the same position. Before I met my husband, my own relationship history was far from straightforward. In fact, it was an absolute disaster until I realised it had nothing to do with luck. I transformed my love life - so can you! The fact you are questioning your relationship and dating choices is the first very important step. My role isn't to judge your behaviour or decisions. It's to help you understand it, learn from it and move forward with greater clarity, confidence and healthier relationship choices.
Q: Where can I find From Single to Couple’s video course for dating?
A: You can find our online dating course, Dating Success Framework, under Video Guide in the main menu. If you start with the Dating Success Framework and later decide you'd benefit from 1:1 coaching, we'll deduct the cost of the guide from your coaching package. That way, you can begin with the option that feels right for you, knowing you can always build on it later.
Q: How 1:1 dating coaching works?
A: 1. Start by booking your free discovery session - it's a confidential 30-minute Zoom call to talk about what's happening in your love life, what you'd like to change and whether my approach feels right for you. 2. Everyone's situation is different, so I don't use a one-size-fits-all programme. We'll work out what you need, whether that's help with one specific issue or more structured, ongoing coaching. 3. Start your coaching sessions online. We'll meet online by video call and work through the areas that matter most to you. Each session is 1 hour long, typically once a week, and there is homework in between sessions.
