Mr Carl Wurz

Counseling Psychologist

“I am a counselling psychologist working in Port Alfred. I work with clients of all ages, I have a holistic approach to therapy.”

About Me

I offer a space where individuals of all ages can explore their experiences fully. My holistic approach considers your mind, body, and environment, helping you understand challenges and build resilience. I aim to help you connect with your inner resources, fostering personal growth and lasting change. This broad perspective ensures our work together is tailored precisely to your unique life journey.

Approach

Sessions unfold with gentle curiosity and practical tasks shaped to your family’s rhythm, helping ideas and feelings become easier to name. I work from Port Alfred, bilingually in English and Afrikaans, and offer face-to-face and online appointments so the work fits your life. With children and adolescents I use playful experiments, structured observation and clear feedback, and with adults I combine reflective dialogue and goal-focused steps—between sessions you may get simple reflections or tasks to try. This way of working often suits parents, young people and those wanting steady, hands-on change.
