Mr Martinus Claasen, MA

Counseling Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“My interest is in assisting my clients evolve towards their ideal self, a process that involves, broadly speaking, the healing of wounds from the past and identifying who they want to become, the obstacles in their way, and strategies to reach their aim.”

About Me

My focus is on helping you evolve towards your ideal self. We’ll explore past experiences and identify who you truly aspire to become. We then pinpoint obstacles and build practical strategies to reach your aims. This collaborative process offers a clear direction for lasting personal growth.

Approach

You can expect a practical, steady process that attends to past hurts while mapping realistic steps toward the person you envision. In Port Elizabeth I work in English and Afrikaans and offer online sessions so therapy fits your life. Sessions move between focused reflection and hands-on strategy: for anxiety, mood shifts and relationship impasses we track small behavioural changes, try new responses and use brief between-session exercises to build confidence. This way of working tends to help adolescents, adults and couples seeking clear, collaborative progress.
