A Strong Educational and Professional Foundation
Jonaria’s journey started at Ficksburg High School, where she matriculated in 1996. Afterward, she pursued her passion for understanding human behavior and earned a B.A. in Human Movement Science in 2000. Determined to expand her knowledge, she completed her Bachelor of Social Science Honours (B.Soc.Sc.) in 2001. Soon after, she obtained her Master of Social Science (M.Soc.Sc.) in Counselling Psychology in 2003.
Her private practice began in 2003, giving her the independence to shape her own therapeutic approach. Initially, she practiced in Bloemfontein from 2003 to 2013, supporting individuals through various emotional struggles. Later, in 2018, she relocated to Paarl, where she continues to empower people through psychotherapy.
Expanding Expertise Through Corporate and Published Work
From 2013 to 2017, Nashua appointed Jonaria as their Corporate Psychologist, allowing her to broaden her impact. During this time, she worked closely with employees, helping them navigate stress, workplace challenges, and mental health concerns. As a result, she gained valuable experience in corporate wellness and psychological resilience.
In 2018, she took her passion for emotional well-being even further and published ’n Spa vir die Siel. This book offers practical insights into mental resilience and self-care, making psychological healing accessible to a wider audience. Additionally, it reflects her deep commitment to helping individuals build emotional strength.
The Driving Force Behind Her Work
Jonaria’s fascination with people and their stories guided her career path. Since childhood, she has found endless inspiration in the way individuals dream, grow, and navigate life’s complexities. Because of this, psychology felt like a natural career choice. Every session reinforces her belief in the power of psychotherapy to transform lives.
