About Michael
Professional Profile
Completing my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at UNISA
marked the start of an incredible journey …
My internship at Weskoppies Psych. Hospital in Gauteng
involved working with both children and adults.
This was followed by a truly rewarding two years of community service
at Dr. George Mukhari Hospital in Ga-Rankuwa,
and subsequently establishing my own practice in Pretoria.
The next chapter of my adventure took me to the beautiful Underberg,
where I spent 18 months at Riverview Manor.
Based on the work undertaken there,
I was presented with the opportunity to relocate to vibrant Durban,
which was always a dream of mine,
to assist in establishing a new treatment centre,
The Choose Life Specialist Recovery Centre.
I thereafter transitioned into private practice,
to finally & fully engage my passion for guiding individuals,
ready to make significant changes in their lives.
This has turned out to be the best decision I have ever made,
both professionally and personally!
Professional Philosophy
I consider it a great privilege to be able to live my passion on a daily basis,
that being walking a journey of discovery with others.
All of us, at times, experience obstacles and challenges in life that require
that we do something different to the way we normally do things …
That is where psychology can serve a person well.
My purpose in life is to walk part of that journey of self-discovery with another;
facilitating personal growth and an authentic sense of life & self.
