Hello – I’m Debbie Rivers

Qualified Counsellor and Founder

When I found myself single again after many years of marriage and raising my wonderful (and now adult) children, I was surprised and dismayed by what I found on the Perth dating scene.  It seemed that since I was last “on the market”, it had become more difficult than ever to meet genuine singles. Despite all the new ways of staying in touch, we seemed more alone than ever in our growing city.

I decided that my new mission in life was to turn this situation around and invested in learning all I could about relationships. I became a qualified Life Coach with the Life Coaching Institute, a certified MatchMaker trained by the Matchmakers Institute in New York, an mBIT Master Coach and a certified practitioner in Coaching and NLP. When Dare2Date started in 2011, we focussed on creating fun opportunities for Perth singles to meet at our popular Speed Dating Perth singles events.

As time went by and more people approached me for help with their dating challenges, I introduced our relationship services to help men and women overcome the obstacles lying between them and love. Today, Dare2Date’s holistic approach aims to help Perth singles realise their dreams of meeting someone to share their lives with. We promise to make it as easy and stress free as possible to make genuine connections, in a safe and fun environment.
