Dr Shazia Mungly – Specialist Psychiatrist – Milnerton leads a private psychiatric practice at the Akeso Milnerton Clinic in Cape Town. She earned her MBChB from the University of Stellenbosch in 2004. Moreover, she completed a Diploma in Mental Health at Edendale Hospital and a Postgraduate Diploma in Dermatology from Queen Mary University of London. Subsequently, she trained in specialist psychiatry at the University of Cape Town, where she obtained a Master of Medicine in Psychiatry and became a Fellow of the College of Medicine of South Africa. Furthermore, she maintains registration with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the UK General Medical Council, which ensures adherence to rigorous professional standards.

Over more than 15 years, Dr Mungly treated mood, anxiety, psychotic, and trauma-related disorders across public and private sectors. Additionally, she practised in Mauritius and the UK before establishing her Milnerton clinic. Consequently, she blends cultural sensitivity with global best practices. She believes that strong therapeutic alliances deliver the best outcomes. Therefore, she invests time to understand each patient’s background, values, and treatment goals.

Dr Mungly adopts a multimodal approach that integrates pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and electro modulation techniques. Specifically, she trained in Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and ketamine infusions alongside a specialist anaesthetist. Furthermore, she completed modules in Pain Management, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT for insomnia, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Consequently, her practice remains at the cutting edge of psychiatric innovation, and she delivers truly holistic care.

Beyond direct patient care, Dr Mungly mentors junior clinicians, leads professional workshops, and publishes case studies on advanced psychiatric treatments. Moreover, she presents at national conferences to share insights on innovative interventions. Therefore, her Milnerton practice benefits from her leadership in both research and education.
