Miss Zaakirah Mohamed
Child Psychotherapist
“An educational psychologist based in Johannesburg working with children and adolescents from the ages of 4 until 18 years old.”
About Me
I support children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 in Johannesburg as they navigate emotional and developmental challenges. As an educational psychologist, I help young people understand their feelings and build resilience. We might explore creative ways to express thoughts, fostering growth in a safe space. My approach is well-suited for families seeking to understand their child's unique learning and emotional landscape, ensuring they feel heard and supported.
Approach
Work with me is practical and paced: sessions in Johannesburg are held in English, in person, and blend playful activities with focused thinking to help young people name feelings and make sense of learning or behaviour concerns. I use gentle assessment, creative expression and short, achievable tasks so progress feels visible between appointments; parents are invited to share observations and carry strategies into the home and school. This way of working suits families seeking clear, steady support as their child grows and learns.
