About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor in Australia with seven years of experience supporting adults through difficult life changes. She works with people facing addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Ronika also helps with career questions, parenting strains, intimacy concerns and ADHD-related challenges.
She has worked across schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs and private practice. That mix means she is used to short-term problem-solving and longer conversations depending on what someone needs. She has run group therapy, supported people experiencing homelessness and worked one-to-one with people facing addiction and emotional distress.
Ronika explains patterns of behaviour as coping strategies that made sense at the time. She helps people see how those strategies affect life now and practices alternatives that feel more useful. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful patterns, trying small behaviour changes and reflecting on their impact.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods, and existential ideas about meaning and choice. She also uses elements of motivational interviewing and trauma-informed care when relevant.
Ronika speaks English and Hindi. She works from an adult-focused practice and does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Ronika commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based ideas. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter even when feelings are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low motivation and coping during major life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy, trust and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. That means starting with practical steps, checking what helps, and shifting focus if something isn’t working for you.
The exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy days because they remove travel time and can be scheduled at more flexible times. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and make it possible to continue work on patterns between sessions. An appropriately qualified counsellor will help plan a rhythm of sessions that fits everyday life and goals.
