Discovery Membership

You’ve built a life you love. Let me help you find the person you’d love to
share it with.
Forget spending all your free time swiping and wondering where all the good ones have gone. I’ll get to know you properly, then personally search for someone I genuinely believe could be worth meeting.

You’ve built a good life for yourself. You have friends, family and plenty going on.

But there are moments when being single
really hits home.

You’ve had a great night out with friends, then you walk through the door to an empty house. There’s no one there to tell about your evening. No one to talk things through with when you’ve had a brilliant day - or a really rubbish one.  

Maybe there are places you’d love to see and experiences you’d love to have, but you don’t feel comfortable travelling alone.

And sometimes, what you miss is much more ordinary than that.

It’s a lovely evening and you’d love to be able to turn to someone and say, “Fancy going out for a quick drink?”

No organising diaries or making plans weeks in advance. Just someone to share those spontaneous, everyday moments with.

Perhaps you’ve dipped your toe into online dating, only to decide that swiping through profiles and messaging strangers really isn’t for you.

Or maybe you haven’t even got that far. You’ve heard enough horror stories from friends about being ghosted, scammed, stalked or messed around to know it’s not something you particularly fancy putting yourself through.

So perhaps you’ve hoped you’d meet someone naturally instead. Through friends, work, hobbies or simply going about your normal life.

But it hasn’t happened.

And you don’t want to keep waiting and hoping that one day, somehow, it will.

Because what you really want isn’t just someone to go on dates with.

You want to find your person.

Someone you can build a life with. Perhaps that means living together one day, or getting married. Maybe it means bringing your two families together and becoming part of each other’s lives.

Someone who supports you, who listens when you’ve had a bad day and celebrates the good ones with you.

Someone who is on your side.

A partner to share the big things with, of course. But also all those ordinary little moments that don’t seem particularly significant until you don’t have someone there to share them with.

You already have a life you love.

You’d just really like to find the person you want beside you for the rest of it.

A personal alternative to online dating

This is a personal matchmaking service.

You’ll work with me on a 1:1 basis. There are no apps, no swiping and no profile of you sitting on the internet for strangers to browse.

Instead, I get to know you and what matters to you, then I do the searching for you.

Of course, I’ll be looking at the things you’ve told me are important to you. Your values, interests, lifestyle and what you want from a relationship all matter.

But I’m not simply matching two checklists.

Sometimes I might suggest someone because I can see clear areas where you’re aligned. And sometimes, having got to know you both, I might simply have a feeling that the two of you would get along.

That human judgement is a big part of what you’re paying me for.
We believe love deserves more than a swipe

So, what happens when you join The Discovery?


01
First, you’ll complete my membership questionnaire. This tells me all about you - who you are, what you’re looking for, what lights you up, your values, interests and lifestyle, as well as the kind of partner and relationship you’re hoping to find.
02
Then we’ll have a video call so we can get to know each other properly. I’ll dig a little deeper into some of your answers, ask more questions and make sure I really understand what matters to you.
03
After our call, I’ll write your profile using photographs you’ve supplied. You’ll get to read and approve everything before anything happens.
04
Once you’re happy with your profile, my search begins.

Every month, I’ll look for potential matches for you. When I find someone I believe could be a great introduction, I’ll send you their profile to consider.

There’s no obligation to say yes. And the same goes for them.
05
If you both like what you see and agree you’d like to meet, I’ll arrange your first date at a time and location that works for you both.

After your date, you’ll decide whether you’d like to see each other again. Most couples sort that out between themselves, but if you’d rather I let the other person know you’d like another date - or that you don’t feel it’s right for you - I can do that too.
06
If you decide you’d like to keep seeing each other, I’ll pause my active search while you explore where things might go.

If it doesn’t develop into something you want to pursue, I’ll start searching for you again.

And if you realise you’ve found the person you were hoping to find? Well, that’s exactly what we came here for.

Why I started Genuine Connections

I started Genuine Connections because, after 17 years on and off dating apps myself, I felt there had to be a better way to find a partner.

Over those years, I experienced probably every negative side of online dating you’ve heard about. Eventually, I reached the point where I’d pretty much given up on finding love for myself.

But I still couldn’t shake the feeling that dating didn’t have to be this way.

There had to be a more personal, human way to meet someone.

And that’s where Genuine Connections came from.

I honestly believe everyone deserves the chance to find love, and I’m passionate about helping people find it.

Genuine Connections is my business. I set it up from scratch and there’s still just me behind it.

That means when you join, you work with me.

I’m the person who gets to know you. I’m the person looking for your matches. And I’m the person you can pick up the phone and talk to when you need me.

It’s actually one of the things I love most about what I do. I get to know my clients personally and really understand who they are and the person they’re hoping to find.

Because when you’re trusting someone with something as personal as finding a partner, I think that matters.

What my clients say

“I’d had a few introductions through Genuine Connections and met some genuinely lovely women, but for one reason or another, the connection I was looking for just wasn’t quite there.

Then, in the final month of my membership, Cath suggested I meet Julie.

On paper, Julie probably wasn’t someone I would have chosen for myself. She was a little older than I’d originally been looking for and we didn’t share as many of the same interests and hobbies as I thought I wanted. But Cath saw something that I hadn’t.

What Julie lacked in ticking those boxes, she more than made up for with her energy, enthusiasm and absolute love of life. We just clicked.

I finished my membership with Genuine Connections feeling that I’d met the right person, someone I might never have considered if I’d been left to my own devices.

More than a year later, Julie and I are still incredibly happy together and making plans for our future.

I’m very glad I trusted Cath’s judgement and took a chance on someone who wasn’t my obvious ‘type’. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made.”

What can you expect from me?

When you join The Discovery, I make a commitment to actively search for the right people for you every single month.

And I’ll be trying my damndest to find them.
My search isn’t limited to the people already in my own database, either. I also have a wider network and relationships with other dating agencies that I can draw on.

What I can’t do is promise you a certain number of introductions.

There are no guarantees when it comes to love, and I don’t know at the outset when the right person for you will come along.

What I won’t do is introduce you to someone I don’t believe is right for you simply so I can say I’ve found you a date.

That isn’t what you’re paying me for.

You’re paying me to put real time and effort into looking for someone I genuinely believe could be worth meeting.

I love what I do. And there’s nothing better than seeing a client leave Genuine Connections happy because they’ve found the person they were looking for.

I can’t promise you when that will happen.

But I can promise I’ll do everything I can to help you find them.

What happens after four months?


Four months is your minimum commitment to The Discovery, but it isn’t a deadline for finding love.

If we reach the end of your first four months and you haven’t found the person you’re looking for, your membership simply continues on a monthly basis.

I’ll keep searching for you just as I have been, and your membership will continue until you find the one or decide you’d like to stop.

If you do decide to leave, all I ask is that you give me one month’s notice.

Because finding the right person doesn’t work to a timetable. And I don’t want you to feel as though we’re racing against one.

Is The Discovery right for you?

The Discovery is for you if you’re genuinely ready for a relationship and want to make finding the right person a priority.

You have the time and money to invest in yourself, and you’re ready to see where a more personal approach to dating could lead.

Most importantly, you see the value in having someone get to know you properly, understand what you’re looking for and personally search for potential matches on your behalf.

The Discovery probably isn’t right for you if you’re simply looking for a cheaper alternative to dating apps.

Because this isn’t another way to access a pool of profiles.

You’re investing in working with me 1:1, and in the time, care and personal judgement I put into searching for someone I believe could genuinely be right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

I work with clients from the age of 40 upwards, with no upper age limit.
The majority of my clients tend to be in their 50s and 60s, but finding love certainly doesn’t have an expiry date.
What matters far more to me than your age is that you’re genuinely ready for a

My own private database is always one of the first places I’ll look, but my search doesn’t stop there.
I also work collaboratively with other dating agencies, so I can speak to them when I’m looking for someone specific for one of my clients.
And where appropriate, I may also place carefully targeted posts or adverts online to help me find someone who could be a good match for you.
The important thing is that I’m actively looking. I’m not simply waiting and hoping that the right person happens to join my database.

Not at all.
Some of my clients would love to get married again, but many have no desire to walk down the aisle.
What they do want is a loving, committed relationship with someone they can share their life with.
For many, that means eventually living together and building a life as a couple. For others, the relationship they’re looking for might look slightly different.
There’s no rule about what your future relationship has to look like.
What matters is finding someone who wants the same kind of relationship you do.
.

Yes. Your profile isn’t published online or available for people to browse.
Once I’ve written your profile, you’ll have the opportunity to read and approve it. By approving it, you’re giving me permission to share it privately with potential matches I believe could be right for you.
When I find a potential match, I’ll send you their profile at the same time as I send them yours. You can both take a look and decide whether you’d like to meet.
Your profile is only there to help me make genuine introductions. It isn’t sitting on a website waiting for strangers to find it.
