About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor in Australia with seven years of experience. She works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety and related concerns. She also supports those managing mood changes, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and life transitions.
Ronika has worked across schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs and private practice. She has run group sessions, supported people who are homeless, and worked one-to-one with clients dealing with addiction and relationship conflict. This range informs a practical approach to day-to-day problems.
She explains that many difficult behaviours began as ways to cope with hard experiences. Those patterns can feel useful but later get in the way. In sessions she helps people notice those patterns and try different, more helpful responses.
Her work draws on a mix of evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy, plus attachment-focused ideas and trauma-informed care. These approaches are used to address anxiety, problems with intimacy, communication issues and coping after loss.
Ronika uses plain language and short, realistic steps in sessions. She encourages practical skills alongside reflective conversation. People who prefer simple, steady pacing and clear techniques often find this style useful.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and Hindi, and international clients are not accepted at this time.
How her methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns and then testing small changes to reduce distress and improve coping. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive conversation where the person’s own goals guide the work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences, then decide which methods to try and how to adapt them. This collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break and offering options that do not require being on camera. Appropriately qualified counsellors can use these approaches in remote sessions to practise skills, set manageable tasks and review progress.
