Mr Marius Kotze

Counselor

I do Christian counselling. trauma debriefing, addiction, bereavement, depression, relationship counselling.

About Me

I offer compassionate support for individuals navigating life's challenges. I can help if you are experiencing trauma, grappling with addiction, or dealing with bereavement. I also support those struggling with depression or seeking stronger relationships. My approach includes trauma debriefing. Christian Counseling provides a space where faith can be part of your healing. I aim to help you find peace and resilience, guiding you towards wellness.

Approach

Compassion leads how we sit with loss, cravings and fractured relationships, shifting gently from listening to small, practical next steps. I work face-to-face in Ekurhuleni, offering sessions in English and Afrikaans that respect cultural and spiritual rhythms while keeping the pace calm and manageable. In-session I use grounding, focused conversation and simple skill-building; between meetings I offer short exercises to practice coping and to notice change. This approach tends to help adolescents looking for steady, faith-sensitive support as they rebuild trust and routine.
