Michael works across the heterosexual and LGBT spectrum, however emotionally rich or challenging the material might be.  He is passionate about helping couples and individuals, and does so in an affirmative, therapeutic way; he believes that when people are listened to with respect, problems and conflicts can be explored in a non-judgmental environment.

Michael qualified at the Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships in London (now Tavistock Relationships), the world’s leading organisation for training in couple psychoanalytic psychotherapy. He recently completed a year-long study course at the Institute of Psychoanalysis. Prior to returning to Johannesburg, Michael ran two clinics in the United Kingdom – one in Harley Street, London, the other in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
