5 Relationship Experts You Should Be Following Right Now

Tired of getting the same, simplistic “girl, dump him” advice whenever you’re sharing your relationship problems with your best friends? We all have been there. Your friends only want the best for you, sure, but only you know the intricacy of the situation you’re in. Also, going to the extreme rarely brings the effect you hope for. The heartache might soothe for a minute, making you think the pain has come to an end, but what if it lingers? What if regret rushes in at goodbye? What would happen if you stay? The agony hiding behind those ‘what ifs’ is infinitely greater—we learned that the hard way.

So, if you’re looking for a more reliable advisor, these relationship experts offer nuanced and measured perspectives on relationships’ trials and tribulations.

You can’t type “dating expert” into the search bar without Matthew Hussey popping up as one of the top suggestions. With a couple of bestselling books, sold-out seminars, and Matthew AI—a chatbot powered by his coaching materials—under his belt, Hussey has built quite a reputation for himself. But if more convincing is needed, Camila Cabello, his pop star ex, has gone on record saying that his experience as a relationship coach has made him a great partner.

If you’re someone who only responds to tough love, chances are you would find Sabrina Zohar’s content particularly helpful. The podcaster and entrepreneur has a knack for knocking some sense into her audience with her assertive delivery and no-nonsense attitude. Finding her calling by sheer happenstance—sharing about her personal dating life online—Zohar has helped hundreds of thousands of her followers to look inward in order to improve their dating life.

 

SADIA KHAN

London-born Pakistani Sadia Khan has all the qualities of a great relationship psychotherapist. The nuggets of wisdom she shares—backed by her BSc in Psychology—are only emboldened by her gentle style of speech. But don’t let her posh British accent lull you into a false sense of security. Khan has a way of jolting you with a bucket of ice-cold truth. You can rely on her to spot and help break the patterns that most of us are oblivious to.

Sometimes it helps to laugh at the situation you’re in. You just need someone who understands and can sling off at the absurdity of being love-bombed, bread-crumbed, and ghosted. That is why Mel Jayne comes highly recommended. Known for her humorous breakdown of male archetypes, presented via candy-coloured slide decks and other visual aids, the Los Angeles-based internet personality is the voice of comfort that you actually want to hear during breakups.
