FOR COUPLES
Mediation & Coaching for couples, families, and teams
with a focus on intercultural connections.
Creating clarity and mutual understanding.
My name is Andrea Hesterberg. I work as a mediator for international couples and have been in an intercultural marriage myself for over twenty years.
MY WAY
Mediation & Coaching for couples, families, and teams
with a focus on intercultural connections.
Creating clarity and mutual understanding.
I am familiar with the challenges of international relations not only from my professional work. For over twenty years, I have lived in an intercultural marriage myself and know how much richness – and how many misunderstandings – can be found within it.
For many years I worked in an international environment and repeatedly witnessed how conflicts remained unspoken, especially when there were significant external changes. These experiences motivated me to become a certified mediator.
I have now facilitated over 160 mediation processes on a wide variety of topics.
Today, I primarily support couples in reconnecting, especially during times of transition, and in developing positive paths for the future together. The situations are highly individual: intercultural aspects, relocation, after the birth of a first child, or when their own children are leaving home.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS
Mediation & Coaching for couples, families, and teams
with a focus on intercultural connections.
Creating clarity and mutual understanding.
Neutral
As a mediator, I am a neutral facilitator. Both sides are given equal space.
Confidential
Everything that is discussed remains within the protected framework of our conversation.
Appreciative
Your story and your journey are my focus. No judgment, no prescribed path.
Experience in times of change
Whether it's intercultural dynamics, parenthood, or other upheavals, I offer support with years of experience.
Some couples come to me because they want to reconcile. Some because they are separating and want to handle it respectfully. Both are in good hands with me.
QUALIFICATION
Mediation & Coaching for couples, families, and teams
with a focus on intercultural connections.
Creating clarity and mutual understanding.
My work combines sound mediation training with years of intercultural life and professional experience. This creates a space where you feel truly understood.
I speak English with my husband and German with my children. That's precisely why I'll support you in the language that feels most natural to your relationship – German, English, or both.
VERY PERSONAL

Creating clarity and mutual understanding.
I met my husband in the USA when I was twenty. What began as a brief encounter turned into a year and a half of long-distance relationship, with time differences, flights across the Atlantic, and long phone calls. After that, we moved in together in Germany, into a life together that we both had to work towards.
We got married at twenty-five, and shortly afterward our first daughter was born. We built a house together and expanded our family with two more daughters. In between, there were many wonderful trips and adventures together, and many phases in which we had to rediscover ourselves as a couple.
Today we are in the midst of another period of transition: my children's puberty, my daughters starting university, and my own self-employment. Many things are changing, often simultaneously. It is precisely this experience—that a relationship can always find its way back to itself—that I bring to my work as a mediator.
