Art of Change also offers psychological counselling and coaching in English.
What brings you here
Many international clients find it easier to explore personal questions, doubts, emotions and important life choices in the language they use every day at work, at home and in their relationships.
You may come with questions around work, relationships, stress, anxiety, shame, uncertainty or life direction. Often, life may still function quite well on the outside, while something inside begins to feel less clear, less free or less your own.

Working in English
Over the years I have worked with clients from many different countries and cultural backgrounds. Some have recently moved to the Netherlands, while others have lived here for years but still prefer to speak English when discussing personal matters.
English has been a natural part of my personal and professional life for many years. I have worked in international business environments where English was the main language, and much of my professional reading and study has been in English. In my current practice, a significant part of my clients are English-speaking.
How I work
In our conversations, there is space to slow down and look more carefully at what is really asking for attention. This may involve work pressure, difficult choices, patterns in relationships, self-doubt, stress, anxiety, shame, loss of direction, or feelings that have not yet found words.
My way of working is calm, personal and psychologically grounded. I do not work from a fixed programme or quick advice model. The conversation develops around your question and your experience, with attention to feelings, patterns, responsibility, freedom, relationships and the wider context of your life.
Experience with conversations in English
One English-speaking client wrote:
“Matti is a careful listener who is experienced and knows what occurs on the office floor.”
Another client wrote:
“Matti has always made me feel understood. He listens to every single detail and watches your facial expressions and body language, which gives him the ability to understand you at a deeper emotional level.”
