Hi there, I am Wiebke
Certified Relationship Coach and Mediator, PhD
I help future and current expat couples to understand and master their relationship challenges so that they can fully enjoy their couple life abroad.
As an Expat myself, I am aware of the challenges you face before, during, and after you moved abroad together.
Don't let the challenges of your expatriation erode your relationship.
You can decide to change direction now.

Explanations and answers to
My coaching sessions are conducted in English, German, or Dutch.
Relationship coaching is a professional intervention that focuses on developing skills for healthy communication and conflict resolution, and reigniting intimacy and connection between partners. As relationship coach I encourage clients to become more self-aware, understand their values and beliefs, and learn how to be open and honest with themselves and their partner. Coaching is about reflection, empowering people to find their own answers, skill-building and supporting clients in making important choices. I will support you in understanding your relationship dynamics and behaviour.
I underwent training and certification and continously following training by the Gottman Institute. My approach to relationship coaching is systematic and structured, and many interventions (exercises) are used both from coaches and therapists.
Couples therapy will only be offered by a licensed therapist who is trained in dealing with mental health issues and illnesses, trauma, addiction, domestic violence. A therapist might put more emphasis on your past to help you identify and work through trauma, family relations, or childhood wounds that influence your behaviour of today. There is a saying "Therapy is about archaeology, coaching is about architecture". While past experiences matter, they are not in the centre of our relationship coaching conversations. Lastly, a relationship coach will neither give you a diagnosis nor a treatment or some medicine, as coaches are experts and facilitators of processes.
Yes, you can! Relationship coaching does not necessarily require the direct involvement of both parties, even though ideally both partners work on their relationship together. If you start reflecting on your couple dynamics and working on your conflict and communication patterns, it will influence your couple dynamic one way or the other. I encourage you to schedule a call even though your partner might not be ready yet.
My focus is on UNDERSTANDING and ANALYSING patterns of behaviour and REPLACING them with alternatives through hands-on exercises on research-based interventions.
Some Examples how I can help you:
✅ helping you understand why your relationship feels difficult and exhaustive;
✅ reflect and improve your communication;
✅ understand re-occuring perpetual problems / discussions;
✅ mediate a conflict that seems unsolvable;
✅ make your relationship ready for the big move, so that you avoid the common traps many expat couples experience;
and more.
🛑My services are not for you if your relationship problems root in mental disorders, addicitions, substance abuses, trauma, post traumatic stress, or the like.
Please book a free 30-min. Call to see if we are a good fit and I am the right person for your current issues.
In relationship coaching, being impartial is key to creating real progress. I won’t pretend it’s never tricky, but I see it as one of my strengths. I tend to approach couples like a researcher, focusing on the dynamics rather than taking sides. This helps me stay objective and create a space where both of you feel heard and understood. If you're worried I might lean toward your partner’s perspective, let's talk it through in our first session—that way, we can address any concerns right from the start.
Absolutely not! After our first free 30-minute call, if you decide that my coaching is not for you, or you don't feel comfortable moving forward for any reason, you are not obligated to the coaching sessions or further payment.
