I’m a psychologist with more than 25 years of experience. I love counseling and working with individuals and couples. The joy of discovering a solution for a problem with someone and see them grow and thrive excites me. No one is perfect and at times, we all need help. It is a mistake trying to solve problems alone. I see counseling as the undiscovered gem in human functioning – far too many people miss the opportunity of working with a trained and skilled counselor to aid them on the journey to figure out a plan through their challenge. I’m glad you are considering this option and there is a reason that you are reading my profile. I would love working with you.

Dr. Venter is highly professional, listens, and offers valuable advice I can integrate into my life or points out things to consider moving forward. I highly recommend him as a therapist because he understands yet holds you accountable; he's practical and offers achievable goals.

I've been working with Dr. Venter for only about 2 weeks now but in this short amount of time I have learned a lot about myself through his guidance. He makes you feel safe and comfortable. Going into this I was anxious about opening up, but he made me feel safe within a couple of minutes. He is really nice and patient.

I was hesitant to see a therapist but after just my first session with Dr. Venter I was just blown away by how helpful he was! I feel that he understands my issues and offers me so much insight and tools in order to deal with those issues. I have been seeing him for about 3 months now and I have already recommended him to 3 people. I just can’t say enough about him. Do yourself a favor and see Dr. Venter right away!

Dr Venter has real live experience about the some issues I shared with him. I experienced him as a come-along-side-supportive-guide with insight but also with a map.

Henry is an incredible person. After searching for a good therapist, I finally came across Henry’s profile. He’s an amazing listener and gives great feedback. He is the therapist I’ve been searching for for a very, very long time. I’m forever grateful.

Dr. Venter had no trouble understanding me when I tried to explain myself, and suggested some concrete actions that have greatly aided in my ability to function day-to-day. It was only a handful of sessions before I was seeing results that were beyond my long-term expectations.

Dr. Venter is one of the most important factors for me going through a separation. He’s very knowledgeable and understanding, quick to respond and super supportive. His expertise is without question and it is very apparent that he’s passionate about his work and his clients :)

Dr. Venter is kind, straight-forward and practical in his advice and support. Even though working thru "life issues" is hard work, and sometimes painful, I have always found our times together to be both very helpful and rewarding. Thank you Dr. Venter for your time and support!

Dr Center works tirelessly trying to help me start my sessions. It has taken a few weeks for me to begin live session with him. During that time he has been there supporting me to begin.

The breakthroughs I am making with Henry’s help atm are remarkable. This is major work and will transform my life allowing me to be my authentic self and free myself from decades of abuse. By all accounts I should be a drug addict or dead. I am already so much more assertive and find it much easier to get what I want rather than be railroaded. I am bossing my career and excited for the future; feel like anything is possible. Do the work and reap the rewards. Henry is brilliant, literally a life saver.

Very knowledgable, and easy to get along with. Approaches hard to understand topics in a very organised way, that allows me to understand myself and how I feel. Would recommend to everyone.
