The Secret to Successful Dating: Relationship expert Anna Williamson on matchmaking & mental health

The Secret to Successful Dating: Relationship expert Anna Williamson on matchmaking & mental health. Ep.22
Anna Williamson is a broadcaster and lifestyle coach, best recognised for fronting the UK's most exclusive dating agency on E4's Celebs Go Dating. She is the best in the business for trusted lifestyle advice and holds accredited qualifications in counselling, life coaching, psychotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).
Anna's presenting career accelerated when she began hosting children's television, fronting shows on CITV, Nickelodeon, Channel 5 and the Disney Channel. However, behind the scenes and during production, Anna faced a complete emotional breakdown. Triggered by the pressures from live television and an abusive ex-partner, Anna's mental health spiralled out of control, leading her to seek help and ultimately take control of the future.
As she began speaking about her experiences, Anna realised the damaging stigma attached to mental health issues and the power of therapeutic practice, inspiring her to train and qualify as a life coach and counsellor. Since then, Anna has admirably dedicated her entire presenting career to helping others work through their inward mental battles, and alongside supporting celebrities with their dating woes, she is also a chart-topping podcast host, established author and soon to be founder of The Relationship Place, a self-help hub for dating and relationship advice.
From red flags to look out for, to matchmaking success, here's an episode you don't want to miss!

Body Language...Relationship...Psychology🥰 One of my favourite topics in Social Sciences❤

[@MyAkachi]

The fact that she's 41 is still so interesting. She looks so youthful and vigorous (or rather more youtuhful and vigorous than most 40-somethings)! She looks like Grace's bigger sister or even close friend, but with no more than 4/5 years. Not 16 years! Love it.

[@Liam-io7ic]

Can you please put topic v timing breakdown in your videos like Diary of a CEO. There are certain topics I want to jump straight to- it would have been helpful to know where the time stamps were.

[@micaeladunn4730]

This chat made me feel so much less alone in my dating experiences 🥺💛

[@chevonneclay1277]

Beautiful interview. Love Grace but my only feedback is I feel she uses too many words when asking her guests questions, and I find it can get wordy and confusing. Sometimes I think asking questions in a succinct and simple way is more effective ❤

[@ameliaschroeter5148]

This has come just at the right time for me thank you !!!

[@blank1611]

Sorry I want a biscuit

[@tonikinsella]

I really like her, found this super informative

[@olukimkan3837]

If it works for you fine, definitely wouldn't work for everyone. Desires, goals, experiences, stages in life etc, influences people's choices. However, I agree 100% with your opinion on "my type'' whether soft or hard type.

[@sportingfemalelegends]

Grace Fit!!! We crossed paths in Oxford once. You gave me the batting eye ;-) but I already have a honey pie. I have some unusual abilities, you'll be excited to hear. One being I feel everything you feel in this video, If chose to, and wanted to share..you were sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bored whenever this lady spoke. I only saw 5 mins but in that time you completely phased out, trying desperately to hold shut a yawn lol, and were using all remaining energy to hold in intermittent giggles.. of which the boredom was cause. Neither of us heard barely a word said, wisely, but behind the visage was still most entertaining. x

[@jamieleigh807]

She is gorgeous isn’t she I love her ❤

[@betsystaab3150]

This was really insightful thank you so much! I took notes towards the end aha

[@Hannah-ur3pt]

This has made me feel more optimistic

[@meganroller894]

Thank you so much for this one! Super eye opening and informative 💗

[@hollyphoebealice]

This was great! Thanks so much

[@micaeladunn4730]

Ah Grace you make me laugh with your comments - love your sense of humour 😂

[@chevonneclay1277]

Guest gives great advice ❤❤❤

[@a.account8011]

Sound is poor sadly

[@bethscott1562]

My relationship is not work - 11 years and best friends ☺️

[@gktginglobal1040]

she is talking about marriage not just relationship🤫

[@gktginglobal1040]

[@sfrancies87]

[@micaeladunn4730]

Actions not matching words is the pits!! Like just say what you mean 😭

[@JJOK1818-okthen]

👍👍

[@swhitman6802]

Hm..disagree re ghosting..had several men respond aggressively or with put down remarks when i say im not interested in polite way. somtimes ghosting feels not only easier but safer..

[@Butlins14]

Why would I change my type from attractive size 8 dresses well goes to the gym and is intelligent and fun to a land whale? How's that going to make me happier?

[@Butlins14]

What if every girl you fancy has a boyfriend they live with 🙈

[@SGH6695]

She kept interrupting you and came across as quite self absorbed. But Love you grace ❤

[@MyAkachi]

I didn't feel this way at all. She's just clearly very chatty and bubbly. And Grace seemed to enjoy the conversation as well!

[@TransylvaniaGirl]
