Stacy Thomson

Founder & CEO @ Reddi | The MatchMaking Dating App | MatchMaker | Executive Confidante | Coach | Award Winning Mental Health Practitioner | Educator of the Human Condition

With over 20 years of experience in psychology, mental health, and high-performance coaching, I help high-achieving individuals perform, connect, and lead at their highest level—without compromising their wellbeing.

My work sits at the intersection of human behaviour, perfectionism, and executive performance. I support senior leaders across finance, law, Formula 1, and public life—those operating under intense pressure and scrutiny—who often need a trusted, strategic partner behind the scenes. I specialise in perfectionism and how it both fuels success and quietly undermines clarity, relationships, and sustainable growth.

As a coach and consultant, I work closely with CEOs, founders, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to strengthen emotional regulation, decision-making, and relational intelligence—core foundations of high performance. My approach blends psychological insight with commercial awareness and discretion.

I’m also the Founder & CEO of Reddi, a private matchmaking app for extraordinary singles. Built on attachment theory and AI-led introductions, Reddi challenges the speed and superficiality of modern dating. We partner with the world’s top private matchmakers to create intentional, lasting connections for high-calibre individuals.

Through L’Amour Privé, Reddi’s luxury event arm, I created The 10K Club—an invitation-only private dining experience for elite singles, public figures, and UHNW individuals. These gatherings offer something rare: curated, discreet spaces where chemistry and conversation matter more than profile or performance.

I hold an MSc in Organisational Psychology from Goldsmiths, University of London, and am a Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN), with additional certifications in cognitive behavioural coaching, psychometric testing, and project management. My approach draws on a wide range of psychological models—including ACT, DBT, CFT, MBT, and SFT—adapted for high performers to improve emotional regulation, resilience, and clarity under pressure.

Whether I’m coaching in confidence, facilitating private connections, or helping someone recalibrate how they show up in the world—my focus is always the same: depth, intention, and sustainable excellence.

Founder & CEO

REDDI is on a mission to disrupt the relationship industry by being the first exclusive private members-only dating app on the market which uses attachment theory to match members who want healthy relationships.
​
Recently launched and onto our first bootstrap round, we’ve already hit the headlines. 
​
We believe that as orchestrators of relationships, we also need to be socially responsible. Poor mental health outcomes are increasing, young people are not even hooking-up or having sex, and we’ve seen a rise in solo mums by choice, and single lonely depressed men. Something is going wrong, and we want to be the thought leaders behind changing that: not just for our current generations, but the many more to come.

The Vision…

REDDI’s guiding light, is to help people find and keep healthy and meaningful connection in the most efficient and enjoyable way. We weave in some science, and intimacy creating an exclusive experience that comes to life both on and off the app.

Our app is just the tip of the iceberg, and we have big dreams to create more products and experiences, both digital and in real life - we are creating a 'connecting, educational, and supportive coaching' platform designed to not be deleted - we want to be there for our members throughout all of their relationship lifecycles.

The Members…
​
REDDI values well-rounded, open, and honest people. People who are ambitious, smart, and aim high when it comes to their personal and professional lives – the kind who can make you laugh, but also think deep. Most importantly, our members are emotionally available, and don’t want to mess around.
