​Henning Gericke gave us our life back and helped me to play through the pain.

Awongiwe

Before participating in Henning Gericke's counseling sessions I was literally losing myself and it was just a matter of time before I took my life. But with just few sessions with him, my life started to have some sort of a direction. I was actually struggling academically because of everything that was going on, but he boosted my spirit and made me believe in myself!

Maxi Nosworthy

Henning helped me through a very difficult and traumatic period during my late husband's last 6 months! I was able to find myself again and make peace with myself! I experienced him as a special person who had a lot of empathy and insight! Will never forget his support and assistance!!!

Thank you very much Henning!!
