Divorce Coach for Expats in the Netherlands
Navigating a divorce is never easy, and doing it while living abroad adds another layer of complexity. That’s where I come in. I’m Barbara Jan, a divorce coach passionate about helping international individuals find clarity, confidence, and peace of mind during one of life’s most challenging transitions.
As an expat who has gone through a divorce, I understand firsthand the emotional, logistical, and cultural hurdles that come with it. My coaching is designed specifically for expats living in the Netherlands, offering a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to process emotions, make empowered decisions, and create a path forward.
“Whether you need a sounding board, a clear plan, or a moment to breathe, I’m here to guide you through it all.”

Divorce can feel overwhelming
The stress, confusion, and emotional toll can affect every part of your life — from sleepless nights and anxiety to struggling with day-to-day decisions. What happens to your children? How do you maintain stability for them while managing your emotional well-being? These are the questions that keep many up at night. Whether you’re dealing with feelings of guilt, fear of the unknown, or a sense of loss, know that these emotions are valid — and you’re not alone.
As an expat, the sense of isolation can be even stronger. You might be far from family and close friends, navigating a foreign legal system, and trying to shield your children from the emotional upheaval. It’s a lot to carry — but you don’t have to take it alone.
How I Work:
My approach is both intuitive and structured. We start with where you are now — emotionally and practically — and build from there. I help you understand your situation, explore your options without judgment, and support you as you move forward with courage and intention. Each session is tailored to your needs, combining practical guidance with compassionate coaching.
Together, we’ll focus on reducing overwhelm, managing conflict gracefully, and helping you reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you need a sounding board, a clear plan, or a moment to breathe, I’m here to guide you.
What I Offer:
- One-on-one coaching tailored to your unique situation
- Emotional support and practical strategies for managing change
- Help navigate the Dutch legal system and connect with trusted professionals
- Guidance on co-parenting across cultures and borders
- Tools to rebuild your confidence and rediscover your identity post-divorce
Whether you’re just considering separation or are already in the middle of the process, you’re not alone. Together, we’ll turn this difficult chapter into an opportunity for growth and new beginnings.
