Dating App Strategies from a Psychologist ✅

Apps have become the new norm for dating, yet many people don't like using them. It's understandable - they can be overwhelming, lead to difficult experiences like ghosting and affect one's self-esteem. In spite of this however, many people have met their future partner through a dating app and it's definitely possible to have positive dating experiences.

In this week's episode, we explore some dating strategies backed by science to help you navigate the apps if you are looking for a long-term partner.

🙋🏻‍♀️ WHO AM I?
I'm Kathleen (or Kate), a video maker, youtuber and provisional psychologist working in Sydney. I make videos about the journey towards becoming a registered psychologist in Australia, strategies to enhance your mental health and stories that have made up my own life, which you'll either find helpful or entertaining 😉

Some things I'm passionate about are community and connection. In Sydney I host a weekly walking group that brings together strangers, who hopefully leave as friends. Please join us on our next walk if you're visiting Sydney or if you're new to the area ✌️
