I offer sessions in German (native speaker), English, and Dutch.

Relationship coaching focuses on the present and the future.
It helps couples understand their patterns, improve communication, and make conscious decisions about how they want to relate to each other.

My work is structured, reflective, and practical. We look at how you interact, where things get stuck, and what alternatives are available — and then practice them.

Couples therapy, on the other hand, is led by licensed therapists and focuses on mental health, trauma, addiction, or clinical diagnoses. It often places stronger emphasis on the past.

I do not diagnose, treat mental illness, or work with trauma-related conditions.
My role is to guide reflection, clarify dynamics, and support change. Coaches are experts and facilitators of processes.

Yes. You can start on your own.

While working together as a couple is often helpful, meaningful change can begin with one person. Reflecting on communication, boundaries, and decision patterns will influence the relationship either way.

If your partner isn’t ready yet, we can still work productively.

I work with couples who want to understand what’s happening beneath recurring tension — and change it.

For example, I support couples in:

✅ understanding why the relationship feels exhausting or stuck

✅ improving communication and decision-making

✅ working with recurring, “perpetual” conflicts

✅ navigating major transitions like moving abroad

✅ mediating conversations that feel impossible to resolve alone

and more.

🛑My work is not suitable for situations involving untreated mental illness, addiction, substance abuse, or acute trauma.

A free introductory call helps clarify whether I’m the right person for your situation.

Impartiality is essential in my work.

I don’t take sides — I focus on the dynamics between you. My role is to make patterns visible, not to assign blame.

Many clients appreciate that I approach couples analytically and relationally, creating space where both perspectives are taken seriously.

If this concern is present, we can address it openly from the start.

I’m Wiebke Anton, PhD in Political Science (LMU Munich), certified relationship coach and mediator.

My work is informed by research-based approaches, including advanced training with the Gottman Institute, and regular professional supervision.

I combine academic depth with practical, real-world experience.

Clients often work with me because I:

• see patterns quickly and clearly

• work in a structured, grounded way

• combine clarity with warmth and directness

• understand expat life from personal experience

Fit matters.

That’s why a free introductory call is the best way to see whether working together feels right.
