Marisa Peer shares her dating confidence tricks

Psychotherapist and life-coach Marisa Peer shows you how to date with confidence!

Marisa Peer has worked as a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, life coach and behavioural expert for over twenty-five years.  You might recognize her as the therapist on Supersize vs Superskinny and Celebrity Fit Club UK, or from her appearances on This Morning, Newsnight, Sky News and GMTV.

Her latest book Ultimate Confidence: The Secrets to Feeling Great About Yourself Every Day is out now, so we decided to catch up with her to find out what her ultimate dating confidence tricks are – and here’s what she had to say.

It’s the first time the iconic street has been closed for a concert, but this is a triple celebration.   London’s shopping Mecca is celebrating 180 years of history, its Absolute Radio’s first birthday, and Madness are 30!
