As a relationship and divorce expert, Anke’s focus is not on the conflict, but on the people involved and their relationship to each other. Believing that consultation and cooperation are necessary to reach a solution, Anke does things differently. Her focus is on consultation processes. Paths in which attention is paid to the underlying emotions and interests that receive little attention in legal proceedings.

Anke counsels her clients in improving their relationships and does so from the KERN approach method. In addition to improving the partner relationship, work can also be done to improve the parent relationship, the relationship between parent and child or any other family relationship.

In a relationship crisis Anke helps and guides you to come to a joint decision. During this process it becomes clear in which patterns you are stuck and the first steps are taken to get rid of these patterns. Together you build a healthy, loving and stable relationship. If you decide to separate, Anke will help you through the difficult process of separation. Together with you, Anke focuses on respectful and equal parenting with the best interests of the children at heart.

Because every situation is different, Anke likes to see together what is needed to solve your problem and which route is most appropriate. Anke likes to take the time for that during an informal meeting.

“In a relationship crisis, you are faced with numerous emotions. In almost all areas of life things come under pressure. It’s nice to stand next to someone then and set a dot on the horizon together. To look beyond the emotions of the moment, to come up with solutions and to realize them. It gives me great satisfaction to make a valuable contribution in that process.”
