Relationship Advice Online

“After a short time I had had enough and decided to leave, but someone stopped me. Shortly after that Mark arrived and was introduced to me. In a moment he had been whisked away to meet other people, but then, suddenly, he was back beside me.

“I fell in love the moment I saw him, but the problem was that I had all these ‘rules’, theories and beliefs about “dating smart” and building a committed relationship that would last. I’d been working with other people in helping them to develop their relationships for a long time. Here was my opportunity to “follow my own advice!” I resisted the whole notion of love at first sight (though I absolutely fell madly for him the very moment he said, “Hello”) and insisted on going slowly and mindfully through the entire process. Mark was so patient whilst I worked my way through it! I’m so glad he was, and I am so glad I did.”

Dr Jackie says “When people are having trouble with relationships I feel a bit like an auto-mechanic with a car that is not running properly. You listen carefully to find out what needs to be fixed or replaced.

“’I don’t have time for a relationship’, is code for ‘I don’t have a clue how to date and feel daunted by the whole idea,” or “I’m too nervous and scared that I will fail again!” explains Dr Jackie, when challenged that we’re all so busy that sometimes the relationship suffers.

“My mission is to challenge you to explore the old beliefs and expectations which can cause you pain; to awaken you to the new realities of relationships; to revitalize you,” says Dr Jackie.

The Dating eCourse series is now completed – enabling Dr Jackie to fulfil one of her ambitions – to help more people “date smart” and develop successful relationships. There are seven eCourses, each with five ‘lessons’ including ‘Making Sense of the Dating Process’, ‘Saying What You Mean and Meaning What You Say’ and ‘Internet Dating.’

Dr Jackie makes her ‘students’ work for their results, it’s not a quick fix or an easy option. The questions that students work through dig deep.

“It’s not just instructive; it isn’t only a book, you really need to work at it – to do the writing and exercises, which makes it very experiential. Questions build on each other, so that, even done superficially, it will take people deep into what influences their relationships.”

“After completing the Dating eCourse series you will have a clearer idea of what you have been doing, why it may not have been working and what options and choices you have to make dating more enjoyable, effective and successful,” says Dr Jackie.

Now this particular project is completed – although Dr Jackie will continue to be closely involved through providing the support for students – what’s next? “Well, I have already begun work on an eCourse series for those who are divorcing and divorced and another for committed partners who want to make their good relationship even better. There are so many people who could experience richer and more rewarding relationships – it makes me sad to see relationships break down, when they could be strengthened and repaired – and that includes family relationships.” It seems that Dr Jackie is on a mission to make all our relationships richer – and that can’t be bad!
