So, he started to work with therapists, coaches, mentors, friends and family to further his personal development. Through this journey, he found his true passion, which is to help individuals envision their ideal romantic futures and achieve them. 

Kevin developed the unique Date Smarter methodology of discovery, awareness, and choice, which empowers clients to create and lead more fulfilling lives.

Shan Merchant

“Couples therapy is the hardest type of therapy to be in,” says Shan Merchant, UK-based Imago couples therapist and dating coach. “In individual therapy you can paint me a one-sided picture of your relationship. When I have you and your partner in front of me doing the Imago practices, I see the 3-dimensional, living sculpture. I see every angle. It’s raw. It’s real. It hurts, and it heals.”

Every day in her couples practice, Shan sees despair, loneliness, contempt and deeply entrenched patterns playing out between partners who were once drunk on love for one another. “When couples come to me it’s usually after an affair, or after years mired in what we call the ‘Power Struggle’ stage of your relationship.” 

Shan helps couples to realize the Power Struggle is inevitable in every relationship – that this kind of crisis is actually the doorway to Real Love. “But most couples out there don’t dare open the door. I get it! It’s scary and it takes courage. The reward is true intimacy and connection.” 

Shan, originally from New Zealand, was inspired to become a certified Imago couples therapist after rescuing her own relationship with partner Josephine from a particularly gnarly Power Struggle. She says “The couples who become an unstoppable team again are the ones who decide they’ll do whatever it takes.” 

With a Master’s degree in Psychology, Shan leverages her wealth of experience and knowledge as a therapist to help people in all types of relationships, including LGBTQ+, Polyamorous and Neurodiverse.
