How can counselling help me and my situation?

Life can be challenging, but by becoming more aware of our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions, we can make meaningful improvements in many areas of our lives. This greater self-awareness helps us develop healthier emotional responses, more constructive behaviours, and greater resilience.

Individual counselling is primarily based on Cognitive Therapy (CT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Counselling is not only for those experiencing diagnosable mental health conditions—many people seek support simply to navigate life's challenges, strengthen coping skills, and develop healthier patterns of thinking and behaviour that lead to lasting personal growth.

What to expect

The counselling process begins with an initial session where we explore the challenges you are facing, your goals for therapy, and how we can work together to support your wellbeing. This first meeting also gives you the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether you feel comfortable moving forward with counselling.

If you choose to continue, sessions are typically 50–60 minutes in duration and are scheduled at a frequency that best suits your individual needs and circumstances. Both in-person and online counselling sessions are available for your convenience.

Recent Reviews

Over the years, Henk has helped us communicate more openly, understand each other's perspectives, and rebuild the connection that first brought us together. We don't leave sessions feeling like someone was right or wrong—we leave feeling like we're on the same team again. Henk is kind, compassionate, patient, and genuinely cares about the people he works with.

Henk has given us a safe space to have difficult conversations that would have previously turned into arguments. One of the things we appreciate most is Henk's ability to "translate" what we're trying to say when emotions get in the way. He helps each of us understand not just the words being spoken, but the feelings behind them. We highly recommend him to any couple facing challenges.

Henk has a real ability to draw out connections between thought patterns and long-held beliefs, and to open up different ways of seeing things. Since I started seeing him regularly, my mind feels clearer and I feel more resilient.
