Your coach, James Preece
“Voted One Of The Top 10 Relationship Coaches In The World”
Forbes MagazineDating after divorce is different. You need different advice.
The apps are new, the rules have changed and you are carrying more history than last time. Dating after a long marriage is nothing like dating at 25, and generic tips rarely fit.
A private session with me gives you an honest, practical read on where you are, what is holding you back and what to do next, with no hard sell and no judgement.
Dating after divorce coaching is private guidance for people re-entering the dating world after a marriage ends. It covers readiness, confidence, profile and approach, and the patterns to avoid repeating. James Preece offers 60-minute 1-to-1 video sessions with an honest diagnosis and a clear plan.
Dating after divorce is harder than anyone tells you
You expected your marriage to last. Now you are back at the start, and nobody gave you a guide. This is what I hear every week.
“Am I even ready?”
You do not want to wait five years to feel ready, but you do not want to rush in either.
“The apps are baffling”
Everything has changed since you last dated, and you are not sure whether you are doing it right.
“What if it happens again?”
You are terrified of ending up in another relationship that does not work.
“My confidence has taken a hit”
You do not feel attractive or interesting and cannot imagine anyone genuinely wanting you.

Hi, I am James Preece, The Dating Guru
I have been a dating coach for 22+ years, and a large proportion of the people I work with are dating after divorce. It is one of the most common situations I see, and one of the most specific.
I work independently and alongside more than 25 UK dating agencies, so you get honest guidance on every option: apps, matchmakers, coaching, or a combination. No agenda, no hard sell, just an honest assessment.

Real results for people dating after divorce
“I was terrified of starting again after 18 years of marriage. James did not give me fluff or false reassurance. He gave me a clear plan and the confidence to actually follow it. I am now in a serious relationship.”
Caroline, 48, Leeds“I had been divorced for two years and had got absolutely nowhere on the apps. James looked at my whole approach, not just my profile, and completely changed how I was thinking about it. Best money I have spent.”
Simon, 51, London“I kept attracting the same type of person as my ex. James helped me understand why, and how to break the pattern properly. That insight alone was worth ten times the session cost.”
Nicola, 44, EdinburghQuestions about dating after divorce
How long should I wait before dating after divorce?
There is no fixed rule. What matters is whether you are ready, not how many months have passed. The readiness check in your session helps you work out where you really are and what, if anything, to do first.
I am terrified of repeating the same mistakes. Can you help?
Yes. Pattern diagnosis is a core part of the session. We look at what happened last time and the type of person you tend to choose, so you can make better choices rather than just different ones.
How is dating after divorce different from dating before?
You have more history, usually less spare time and a dating world that has changed completely, with new apps and new etiquette. Confidence is often the biggest hurdle, and it needs a different approach.
Should I use dating apps, an agency or both?
It depends on you. I work independently and alongside more than 25 UK dating agencies, so I will tell you honestly which option, or combination, suits your situation and budget.
How much does a session cost?
A single 60-minute session costs £200. The 5-session package costs £800 (£160 per session), with sessions completed within 2 months.
Are sessions online?
Yes. All sessions are 1-to-1 video calls, so you can do them privately from home, wherever you live in the UK.
