A Journey to Lasting Love
Are you tired of trying everything to save your marriage, only to feel like nothing truly works? Maybe you’ve explored all the traditional methods—love languages, anger management, communication skills, and more. I understand, because I spent 31 years trying everything I could find to strengthen my own marriage. It wasn’t until I discovered an alternative approach that my life, outlook, and relationship were radically renewed. Now I’m here to share this transformative path with others seeking lasting change.
We were on the brink of divorce when we stumbled upon a revolutionary approach that transformed our understanding of love and partnership. In the last 5 years, we’ve experienced a level of love and connection we never thought possible.
With the right support and guidance, a fresh start and your own happily-ever-after is possible for your relationship as well.
I’m passionate about sharing this transformative approach with you, so you can experience the love and connection you deserve.
Counseling Process and Approach
Our sessions last up to one hour and are conducted via WhatsApp video calls, FaceTime, or Google Meet. Alongside our conversations, you’ll receive tailored supplementary materials, including listening assignments (MP3s), reading materials (books), and viewing assignments (video clips). Practicing these lessons in your daily life is essential for meaningful change.
If you’re unsure whether counselling is the right path for you, consider booking a 20-minute clarity call.
This clarity call is designed to answer your questions, address your concerns, and help you determine if my approach aligns with your needs. Should you decide to proceed with one of my packages, the cost of this call will be deducted from your selected package.

Healing from Relationship Crisis
Rev. Frans, thank you very much for your time during a difficult time in my life. I have gained a new perspective on my son’s death. It’s not an easy road to walk, so thank you for that. In my marriage, especially after my son’s death, there have also been many ups and downs, but I now have a rock beside me and I am super proud of my husband. Thank you for your prayers and listening.

Overcoming Relationship Tension
Frans from Simply Relate has an incredible passion for people. With all his knowledge he helped me look beyond current situations and circumstances to see potential and invest time in things that give energy back into my life. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned during the time we spent together is that I need to be calm to see the complete picture.
I can recommend Frans for the value that he can build into your own life or that of a team. Whether it is for the company or the individual, I am confident that the time you spend with him will have a positive outcome.

Reclaiming your Self-Worth
Frans really cares, which I believe is all-important, your well-being is as important to him as it is to you. He remains professional throughout and brings clarity to your situation which is extremely difficult for you to see without professional help. He certainly did this for me, I could see and feel the fog lifting from my mind with every session. With Frans’ help and direction, my life has become much more balanced, focused on what is important and so much calmer.

Benefits of Working with Rev. Frans
Relationship Specialist
With 30 years of counseling experience, including the last 5 years developing a unique approach, I focus on transforming relationships holistically. This approach nurtures personal well-being within partnerships, creating positive effects that extend to all areas of life.
Unique Approach – High Mood Therapy
Rather than focusing on dissecting past issues, which often leaves partners feeling defensive, my method emphasises High Mood Therapy. This approach clears away misunderstandings, overreactions, grudges, and discouragement, building a new foundation for peace of mind and joy. This journey invites couples to rediscover each other in a positive light, fostering a lasting and meaningful connection.
Be Yourself Again
In the midst of relationship challenges, it’s easy to lose sight of your self-respect, inner peace, and freedom to be authentic. My counseling approach helps you reconnect with your true self, restoring confidence, self-worth, and clarity. Before any relationship can truly flourish, it’s essential that you feel whole, valued, and empowered to be fully you.
This could be life-changing! Stop being afraid and take the next step!
