Mrs Bonita Maboeta

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“An experienced, competent Social worker working +-20 years in the field of well-being. Therapeutic tools include MLNP and EMDR”

About Me

As an experienced mental health social worker, I help individuals navigate life's complexities and enhance their well-being. My long-standing practice offers a grounded, compassionate space where we can gently explore challenges. Using approaches like EMDR, we work collaboratively to process difficult experiences and build resilience. I aim to support you in developing practical tools for lasting personal growth, ensuring you feel understood and empowered.

Approach

With nearly twenty years in well‑being, my work unfolds in steady, practical steps that balance focused processing with everyday coping. Sessions in Klerksdorp or online are offered in Afrikaans and English, and feel paced to your readiness—sometimes reflective and slow, sometimes more active when addressing behaviour, relationships or trauma. I blend assessment findings with targeted interventions, teaching simple skills between meetings and guiding safe processing for painful memories. People looking for clear collaboration and gradual change often find this way of working helpful.
