Muhammad Coovadia Counselling
Turn Insight Into Action.
Live with purpose,not just pressure.
Who is Muhammad Coovadia?
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 widely read op-eds for the Daily Maverick and IOL.

If you are seeking support or simply a space to think and breathe, you are welcome to reach out. For more information about my academic credentials and work experience, please refer to my complete biography at the link below.
Where Have I Been Featured?
What Are the Fees?
My services are offered at a below medical aid rate, with a sliding scale available for those who require financial flexibility.
