Musa Khanyile,

Clinical Psychologist/Poet in Cape Town

I am a clinical psychologist based in Cape Town who is registered for independent practice with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology (UZ) as well as an MA in English (UWC). My clinical experience entails over half-a-decade long employment at one of the best universities in Africa, exposure to a variety of psychological presentations at different psychiatric facilities/clinics as well as the management of a broad range of cases in my own private practice since its inception in 2020.

I am also a published award-winning poet and author of a debut collection of poems entitled All the Places, that was published in 2019 and went on to win the 2020 South African Literary Award for Best Poetry in English as well as the 2021 Humanities and Social Sciences Award for Best Poetry. My poetry has been published in literary journals both locally and internationally. I have also participated in several local and international literary festivals. In 2021, I was honoured to make the Mail and Guardian 200 Young South Africans list.
