Divorce Mediation, Couple Counseling, and Divorce Coaching Services.

Online or in-person sessions in the Netherlands.

Welcome! I'm Tali van Eesteren - Ben Weiss, and I’m  excited to tell you a little about myself. I live in The Netherlands with my partner and our wonderful daughters. After a fulfilling career in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical and medical devices industry, I discovered my true passion lies in helping people navigate challenging situations. 

 

In 2012, I took a significant step towards this new direction by earning a degree in coaching from the Academy of Counseling and Coaching in the Netherlands. This was just the beginning of my commitment to supporting others. I later obtained diplomas in Mediation and Family Mediation from Gome Gevim and became a certified couple counselor through Tel Hai College. Alongside these achievements, I am a registered mediator with the Dutch Mediators Association (NMv) and a professional member of the International Association for Counseling (IAC).

I am dedicated to guiding individuals and couples on their paths toward resolution and growth, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.

 

Why Mediation and Counseling?

I am drawn to mediation and counseling because they emphasize building trust and cooperation, even in the most challenging situations. These approaches empower individuals to resolve their own conflicts with the right support, helping them navigate difficult times. As a mediator and counselor, I guide the process, while the parties involved shape the outcome themselves.

Reflecting on my own experience, I wish I had known about mediation and counseling during my first divorce over 20 years ago. It could have provided clarity and understanding about how we drifted apart, and helped us address the practical, emotional, and organizational aspects of the separation more effectively. This personal insight fuels my commitment to helping others find resolution and healing through these valuable processes.

​

​What sets me apart?

My multicultural background and international experience allow me to create an environment where both partners feel productive, comfortable, and actively engaged. I understand firsthand the importance of cultural diversity and how it impacts communication and relationships. This awareness helps me build trust and facilitate a more effective mediation or counseling process.

By recognizing and respecting cultural differences, I can better support each partner’s needs and perspectives, helping them navigate conflicts with empathy and understanding. This approach not only fosters a more inclusive atmosphere but also enhances the overall effectiveness of the resolution process, ensuring that all parties feel heard and valued.
