👋 Meet the team behind Cupid & Bloom who will guide your journey to new connections!
MEL HAMPSHIRE
As a professional, qualified matchmaker, I believe finding companionship later in life needs both practicality and romance. At Cupid & Bloom, I take time to truly understand your story, preferences, and dreams.
My approach isn't about algorithms—it's about genuine human connection. I personally arrange every introduction, booking your table at lovely local venues, pre-ordering drinks, and if youre nervous, I can introduce you both personally. No stress, no awkwardness.
I use my intuition and experience to identify matches with authentic compatibility, because "Relationships Really Can Bloom At Any Time."

LISA CLARE -
Lisa specialises in empowering you to build meaningful relationships through evidence-based, solution-focused hypnotherapy. As a qualified Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist (DSFH, CNHC Reg, AfSFH Reg), she helps clients overcome any hesitations about meeting new people.
Her approach combines neuroscience, positive psychology, and gentle relaxation techniques to help you feel confident and comfortable - perfect preparation for those lovely daytime introductions we arrange.

Together, we're dedicated to making your journey to connection as comfortable and supported as possible.
