Anna Williamson - Single and ready to mingle?

Hello, I'm Anna Williamson, TV relationship and life coach, with accredited qualifications in counselling, life coaching, psychotherapy and neuro linguistic programming (NLP). Every month, I'll be here to provide you guys with some easy-to-read, stigma-free relationship advice, all served up with a big dollop of my trademark empathy. We can all learn something - and whether you're smug and loved up (congratulations!) or disillusioned and miserable, there's lots still to discover. I'll cover every stage, from dating to marriage, via bickering and babies, alongside my dating tips, coping techniques and relationship-saving strategies.

Whether you’re starting out on the journey, or you’re just out of a long-term partnership that has run its course, being single and back ‘on the shelf’ (as my nanna would charmingly label it) can feel daunting, overwhelming, and like searching for a needle in a haystack, for even the most seasoned dater.

Here are some of my top tips when looking for love:
