Jamilah Motala

Dr. Jamilah truly helped me at the worst time of my life, giving the me tools and support needed to get over depression and anxiety. I will always be grateful for the time with her, and after almost 10 years from the first time I met her, I still reach out to her in moments of crisis or when I feel I need to be “grounded” again. I highly recommend her.

Never in my life did i feel like i had been fully heard or understood until working with Jamilah, She lead me towards the answers and changes i needed to improve my life in all areas.

I have been working with Dr Jamilah for two years for treatment for anxiety, depression and a recent ADHD diagnosis. She is highly skilled, professional, kind, flexible and patient. I have made huge improvements during my time with her and I am extremely grateful.

I am so grateful for the referral to Dr Jamilah, she really has supported and shown me my own strength at a very testing time in my life, where nothing felt right. I was struggling with grief from loosing my mother, childhood trauma, navigating a chronic illness and work related anxiety/frustrations. Dr Jamilah has shared tools for me to now unravel situations myself confidently, which before would easily take me on a downwards spiral. She is knowledgeable, non-judgemental and just says it like it is, which I really appreciate it. She’s patient and professional and I am so grateful for everything she has taught me. Everyone needs a Dr Jamilah in their life, the world would be a better place, and I for sure am now in a happier more content place!

She was professional, neutral (not judgmental or inappropriate), understanding, respectful, quietly kind, gave me lots of space to talk about my issues, but also gave lots of helpful insights and guidance. It takes me a while to open up to new people, but it felt like a safe space where I could be open and honest and also supported.

Dr Jamilah Motala has been working with me for the past 18 months, addressing a number of mental health issues. She approached me with compassion and taught me wonderful techniques that help maintaining a balanced mindset. Dr Jamilah applies her broad knowledge and experience through calm and comforting approach. Meeting Dr Jamilah change my life to better and happier.

Dr Jamilah has been an absolute godsend to me over the past year. When I first contacted her, back in September, I was at my lowest ebb. Her manner, approach, guidance and support has been invaluable and she has really helped me to pull myself out of the depressive state I was in and provided me with strategies, should I ever find myself there again. I am now in a much better place and almost back to myself again. I couldn't have done it without her. It's great to be back where I should be but the negative side to that is that I won't see her as much! Thank you, Dr Jamilah. I am so grateful it was you who was recommended to me and you that I chose to call that day.
