Mediation for expats, work disputes and complex family conflicts

Conflicts are part of life, but they do not have to be unsolvable. As an ADR-registered mediator, trained in accordance with the MfN quality standards, I support expats, employees, employers and families in reaching clear and sustainable solutions. By paying attention to both practical and emotional aspects, I facilitate constructive dialogue and agreements that truly work.

Clear solutions for conflicts

As a mediator in the Netherlands, I assist both expats and Dutch clients with employment disputes, family conflicts and high-conflict divorces.
In situations where cultural differences, distance or language barriers may intensify tensions, I help parties engage in constructive dialogue. Through mediation, we work together towards solution-focused conversations and sustainable, workable agreements.

My areas of expertise

  • High-conflict divorces
    Support in high-conflict divorces, where conflicts continue after the separation. The focus is on improving communication, creating parenting plans, and preventing escalation, with attention to both parents and children.
  • Family mediation
    Support in complex family relationships, such as communication issues, co-parenting, visitation arrangements, or conflicts after a death. Creating clarity, structure, and workable agreements so that calm can return for all family members and future conflicts are prevented.
  • Expat conflicts in the Netherlands
    Conflicts and separations involving expats in the Netherlands. I provide guidance in Dutch, English, and German and help address cultural differences, distance, and language barriers, so that tensions can be resolved constructively.
  • Employment mediation
    Restoring working relationships or guiding parties toward a respectful separation, including within international teams. The focus is on clear communication and sustainable solutions.

Approach

Flexible and tailored: I work both on location and online, discreetly and efficiently. With clear agreements on time and costs, you know exactly what to expect, allowing you to focus fully on the solution.

Working together towards a solution

The aim is to reach agreements that are clear, workable and fair, that subsequently provide calm, clarity and structure, helping to prevent future conflicts.
