Relationships are complex, and those complexities can multiply when you’re living abroad as an expat couple. Whether you’re facing communication breakdowns, cultural misunderstandings, or feeling emotionally distant from your partner, you’re not alone and don’t have to navigate it alone.

I’m Barbara Jan, a relationship and divorce coach who works with expat couples in The Netherlands. My mission is to help you reconnect, rebuild trust, and communicate compassionately, even when everything is falling apart.

As an expat myself, I understand the unique pressures that come with building a life together in a foreign country—from language barriers and cultural adjustments to career changes and being far from family. These stressors can seriously strain even the strongest relationships. With the right tools and guidance, it’s possible to heal, grow, and thrive — individually or together.

My Approach:
My work is intuitive, structured, and deeply human. I blend emotional support with actionable strategies, creating a compassionate space where you can explore what’s happening in your relationship — and what’s possible moving forward.

Whether I’m helping couples reconnect, helping a parent find their voice, or guiding someone through heartbreak, my goal is always the same: to help you feel stronger, calmer, and more connected to yourself and those you love.
