Mr Henning Gericke

Registered Counselor

“PROVIDING PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELLING AND CRISIS INTERVENTION TO ADOLESCENTS, ADULTS, COUPLES, HIGH SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES IN THE HELDERBERG.”

About Me

When life feels overwhelming, I provide psychological Counseling and crisis intervention. I guide adolescents, adults, and couples as they navigate personal challenges, helping them find stability. For high schools and businesses, I offer immediate, practical support to navigate difficult situations. My aim is to create a safe space where you can explore concerns and build resilience.

Approach

Providing calm, practical support in the Helderberg, I focus therapy on clear priorities so overwhelm eases into manageable steps. Sessions in Somerset West are conversational and collaborative, offered in English and Afrikaans and available face-to-face or online to suit your life. We clarify immediate concerns, build practical coping strategies, and review progress between meetings so change feels steady rather than sudden. People facing sudden crises, mood or attention challenges, or relationship strains often find this paced, practical approach helpful.
