Palliative Care &
Serious Illness Support
Palliative Care & Serious Illness Support focuses on providing professional counselling for individuals, families and caregivers navigating the emotional and practical realities of serious illness. These situations often bring uncertainty, difficult decisions and shifting roles within families, all of which can feel overwhelming without the right support. The aim is to offer structured, compassionate guidance that helps people better understand what they are facing and how to move through it.
The approach is grounded in clear communication, emotional support and practical coping. Whether support is needed at home, in a hospital setting, or online, the focus is on creating a calm and structured environment where individuals can process their experiences, strengthen communication, and manage complex circumstances with greater clarity and stability.
PATIENT & FAMILY SUPPORT
Support is provided to both individuals facing serious illness and the families around them. The focus is on helping everyone involved feel supported, understood and better equipped to navigate changing circumstances together.
COMMUNICATION & DECISION SUPPORT
Guidance is offered around difficult conversations and complex decisions that often arise during serious illness. This includes support with expressing needs, understanding options, and navigating sensitive discussions.
CONSISTENT & COMPASSIONATE CARE
Support is delivered with a focus on consistency, professionalism and sensitivity to each situation. The aim is to provide a reliable space where individuals and families can process experiences and feel supported throughout the journey.

Client Success Stories: Hear What Our Clients Say
S IR
Spouse of a Stage 4 cancer patient:
"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!!
