I am Muhammad, a registered counsellor with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). My work centres on the struggles people carry quietly. I support children, adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, low mood, identity questions, academic pressure, addiction, and relationship or marital strain. I have a particular interest in boys’ and men’s mental health, and spiritually integrated care.

​​

In the counselling room, my aim is to understand my clients. I draw on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative and systems work, while always adapting the process to your context.

​​

Outside the consulting room, I have worked in universities, schools, corporate settings, hospitals, community spaces and media houses, delivering talks and workshops, and I have been involved in community projects that link mental health with practical, everyday challenges. I have also published a peer-reviewed academic article and a widely read op-ed for the Daily Maverick on male mental health.
