More about Henry
- 25 years' experience
- Male
- Psychologist
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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Awesome therapist and I am so glad I can share my faith and be listened to without judgement.
Dr. Henry is very friendly and well experienced. My third session with him is tomorrow and I’m confident in seeing progress.
Dr. Venter is fantastic. He listens and helps guide me to where I want to be. I highly recommend him
Very helpful so far. The homework is a great way to dig deep in a comfortable private setting
Dr. Venter is highly competent and easy to speak with. Honestly, he's the best therapist I've met.
Very helpful. Will definitely be taking more sessions with Dr. Venter.
Very easy to talk to
Listens and provides a nonjudgmental space to talk. He's the therapist I wish I had when I first joined Betterhelp. Amazing.
Great listener and interpreter
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.
So happy that I got connected to him. He eases my heart and so easy to talk too. It’s like talking to a friend
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.
Working with Dr.Venter has been life changing. Appreciate him and this app so so much! As a full-time employee and student, this has allowed me to focus and prioritize my mental health.
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!
Love this guy !
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.
He is amazing and relatable. He found ways for me to handle my anxiety and stress. Highly recommend
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 Venter has been very helpful in my healing from the start. He is very knowledgeable, honest and and stays present throughout our sessions. Blessed to have met him!
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.
Dr. Venter was very helpful in helping me better understand and manage myself. He is non-judgemental, knowledgeable, and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Venter.
He was very responsive to my needs, and listens very well to the issues I was dealing with. It helped me alot, I was able to get back to myself rather quickly. Thank you so much for your help! :)
He’s professional, wise and listens. He cares without judgement to help you seek to be you again. We all struggle. He is easy to talk to and provides tools to use to try to get better. I highly recommend him as a counselor.
He has really helped me overcome a lot . He is really patient and soft spoken . He makes me feel really comfortable and listent to how I feel . Would 100% recommend
Dr Henry went right to the heart of my issues, and was quickly able to pinpoint my ailments, and gave me tools and methods to deal with them right away. I reached out to BetterHelp during a dark period of my life, and my expectations were vastly surpassed by Dr Henry. He provides warm and welcoming advice and coaching, and his expertise is deeply appreciated.
