HI! I AM MILA SMITH - CERTIFIED RELATIONSHIP AND DATING COACH, UK
With over 25 years experience in relationship management and a science-baked approach, I help clients build stronger, healthier relationships by combining evidence-based coaching with practical guidance and genuine empathy. I support men and women to let go of emotional baggage, identify and break unhelpful relationship patterns and build healthy, lasting relationships where they feel safe, valued and truly at home.
My husband, Jeremy, and I founded From Single to Couple because we've lived the journey ourselves. We know the uncertainty, the disappointment and the hope that comes with searching for the right relationship and we know that lasting change is possible with the right support.
I know what it's like to question yourself...
To wonder why relationships never seem to work out...
To worry about repeating the same mistakes...
To come home to an empty house and feel the loneliness more than you'd like to admit...
You don't need someone to judge your past. You need someone who understands your journey, can help you make sense of your experiences, and guide you towards healthier, happier relationships.
That's why we're here.
Healthy love isn't luck. It's something you can learn, build and nurture.
If you've found yourself questioning why relationships never seem to work out, feeling exhausted by modern dating, or wondering if you'll ever meet the right person, you're not alone.
At From Single to Couple, we help you move beyond confusion, heartbreak and repeated patterns towards healthy, secure and fulfilling relationships. Through science-backed coaching, practical tools and genuine understanding, we'll help you build the confidence, emotional security and self-awareness to find love that truly feels like home.

Dating & relationship expertise below
It's natural to want a little more information before taking the next step. We've answered some of the questions we hear most often to help you feel confident, informed and ready to begin your journey.
Q: Why do I need a relationship / dating expert?
A: Just think about it for a moment… We turn to career advisors when looking for a new job and attend parenting classes when having a baby; we don’t hesitate to hire business, health and fitness coaches to ensure success. However, quite often very little or no thought goes into choosing the right life partner despite the utmost criticality of this decision for your future (and possibly that of your children). Most of the time, people “fall into” relationships blindly only to discover they don’t work, go through painful breakups, and back to the dating minefield… A relationship/dating coach can help you avoid the pitfalls and find a shortcut to happiness. You won't find these relationship tips on Reddit.
Q: I’ve given up on love, why bother?
A: Being single can be a great phase in life, yet if you’ve landed on this page, you’re probably hoping to find a partner. We completely agree, there’s no point being in a relationship if it just drags you down, and you feel happier on your own. In fact, science confirms that staying in an unhappy, mediocre romantic relationship can actually make you physically unhealthier, not to mention your poor mind and your self-esteem. Studies show that healthy relationships, on the other hand, contribute to overall wellbeing. Believe it or not, love and intimacy can alleviate some illnesses, improve your immune system etc. When you meet the right person, we guarantee you’ll feel safe, confident and energetic. Life is definitely easier with a reliable life partner by your side.
Q: Why should I trust you?
A: We're a relatable couple who survived past disasters, the dating minefield and got where we are (living the good life, that is). Years of research and experience demonstrate it CAN be done no matter how badly you were hurt in the past or how many failed relationships you had. Moreover, Mila Smith is a certified relationship and dating coach, trained by one of the world’s most trusted relationship experts. She uses a science-based coaching method built on a ground-breaking study of marriage, divorce and new love. It offers proven practical strategies and dating advice to find and keep healthy relationships.
Q: I’ve got friends who are always there for me; why do I need someone else?
A: There were times when we cried on friends’ shoulders, who were always supportive, but not always objective. Let's face it, close friends tend to take your side and will often say things just to make you feel better, so impartial advice can be hard to find. Rest assured, we offer a lot of empathy because we made numerous bad decisions in the past and experienced heartbreak and disillusionment. So, think of us as close friends – only armed with objectivity and experience.
Q: How can you help me in matters of the heart?
A: “Listen to your heart rather than your head” is an age-old cliché which sounds charming until you consider the real message behind this phrase. “Head” obviously stands for your logical side, which helps you understand what you need from your partner; the part of you which will analyse their behaviour to see if they are good for you. “Heart” is supposedly referring to our emotional side, but in reality, is all about what feels good at that moment, and let’s be honest: most of the time it’s linked to physical attraction and hormones. “The butterflies” which feel wonderful and also tend to turn red flags into green. So, why has the "head" been condemned? We all know what happens when those hormones wear off: we start seeing things clearly and any incompatibility become obvious. Attraction is important, but don’t just listen to your heart – refrain from making any life-changing decisions until you get the stamp of approval from your head as well... This is exactly where we can help you see things objectively. Don't open Tinder until you've explored our website!
Q: What if I don’t want to settle down?
A: Dating goals can differ, so even if you’re not looking for life partnership at present, but rather someone like-minded to spend time with for now, you’d still want to ensure you find a partner who is onboard and shares your outlook, who is likely to enhance your life instead of making it difficult. Sometimes, it’s perfectly normal to keep an open mind regarding your future, especially if you burned your fingers in the past. Let’s call it self-awareness or self-preservation rather than selfish. If you’re happy and your goals are aligned, you’ll be making your potential partner happy too. Understanding yourself, your basic needs and sharing them with a partner is, in fact, the opposite of being selfish because you’re taking care of yourself and taking care of them as well by being honest and setting expectations upfront.
