Michael Wohlman is a registered counselling psychologist (SAMDC) and Executive Coach (registered with COMENSA). He has been in private practice for eight years. He works eclectically and integratively, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques and disciplines.

Most importantly he is guided by a client-centred, humanistic approach. He aims to build an authentic relationship between himself and his clients by modelling deep respect and honour for the individual, and for the courage of their individual journey (past, present and future). Michael believes that by creating a safe space for his clients, the magic of personal growth and transformation can occur. Within this container, every individual has the capacity to grow way beyond their imagination when provided with the correct ingredients, namely consistent unconditional love and respect. He attempts to empower his clients to assume responsibility for their lives by making conscious choices based on their authentic selves, and taking action to realise their goals. He works in a variety of contexts, both individually, and within the corporate sector, facilitating leadership and autonomy using principles of accountability, integrity and truth.
