Dennis listens and shows no judgement whatever the issue. He is supportive and gives sound advice and strategies. What makes it even more effective is how he shares his thoughts and experiences on matters which helps build that relationship between yourself and him.

Dennis is very understanding and helpful. Guides you through the process and I felt much better after each session, feeling I had achieved a better understanding of everything going on.

As a Christian myself, I find Dennis and his expertise absolutely incredible. Any Christian who thinks therapy is for the weak hasn’t met Dennis yet. God can use therapy to heal, restore, and provide a better future. Thank you, Dennis.

Dennis is a kind, compassionate, knowledgable and practical therapist, and he helped me greatly to transform my life and put my on a positive path. I cannot thank him enough!
Written on Jan 08, 2025 after therapy with Dennis for 4 months on issues concerning addictions
Dennis is an experienced, strong, trustworthy, and structured therapist. I am wary about therapy after multiple bad experiences, but after three or four sessions with Dennis, I am carefully optimistic about being able to get better at some point. Key factors for me are that he remembers what I've told him and he helps me express myself and be accountable of my healing by asking me, for example, if he understood me right and if I am ready for a change in my thinking (or whether that would be too fast).

Dennis has been a great help with assisting me over the last month or so with some very challenging life circumstances. His strong faith in Christ and biblical knowledge was a great help for my particular challenges. Non judgmental and very supportive throughout all the sessions, genuinely cares and wants the best for you. I would highly recommend Dennis. He's a great man of God.

Dennis was a great counsellor, through and through. He was affable and intelligent in his advise to me, and I felt in good hands throughout the course of the therapy.
Each session brought with concrete advise and in some cases even solutions to issues in my life. Dennis helped me gain a better insight in my current and former relationships as well as tools to abate future issues and just improve my mental health in general.
Dennis maintained a professional yet kind and non-judgemental demeanour, and our sessions were always Christ-centred and it was great for me to have a counsellor who understood the importance of my relationship to God and actively utilised it in my therapy.
After only few sessions I felt much more secure in my ability to both understand and tackle the problems that prompted me to seek out counselling to begin with.
I thank Dennis for his aid – it really helped me.
