Expertise

Petra has 25 years of experience in counseling people in divorce. In addition, she has focused on Business Mediation in recent years. She advises entrepreneurs and liberal professionals in settling their more complex financial and legal matters. Her role is coaching and facilitating. She restores connections and offers people new paths to solutions. The conflict may be a dispute within the family business, a partnership dispute or internal dispute within the organization's boardroom.

Intervision & Empowerment

As a mediator/coach, she has extensive experience with communication and relational problems. Every group has its own dynamics within the system in which they function and have to cooperate with each other. Especially in the management of a company it is important that there is mutual space and respect. Petra is an intervision supervisor of professionals in which intervision techniques are used to look deeper into the individual interests of people behind the issue. She also gives training courses "Intervision facilitator" and guides intervision groups through Teams or in the office. Professional Coaching can be requested on an individual basis.

Her approach 

She uses an integrative holistic approach, which means looking at the whole problem and not just the legal part, looking at the whole person with all his emotions and experiences in relation to the conflict at hand. She pays attention to the cohesion and undercurrents between the persons involved in the group, the system within which work or life is being done.
