Dr. Aqeela Mahomed is a dual-licensed Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist registered with the HPCSA. She began her career in 2013 after being selected for the highly competitive Clinical Neuropsychology Master’s program at the University of Cape Town, where her thesis focused on executive functioning rehabilitation following pediatric traumatic brain injury. She completed her internship at Groote Schuur Hospital and trained at Red Cross Children’s Hospital and UCT’s Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Due to the absence of a registration category for neuropsychology at the time, Dr. Aqeela pursued a second Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at Stellenbosch University, researching caregivers' experiences in low-income communities affected by Alzheimer’s Disease. She completed her internship at Rahima Moosa Hospital and Johannesburg community clinics, followed by her community service in the same setting. In 2020, she was part of the first cohort to pass the HPCSA’s new board exam for Neuropsychology.

Known for her warm and culturally sensitive approach, Dr. Aqeela integrates her dual expertise to offer holistic, neuro-informed care. She is passionate about psychoeducation, community mental health, and destigmatizing brain-related conditions. She holds a PhD from Stellenbosch University and is a published author committed to lifelong learning and growth.
