About Sidonie
Sidonie Robertson is an AASW accredited social worker with four years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy problems and self-esteem difficulties.
Sidonie sees how early adulthood brings big changes - moving out, study, first jobs and relationship shifts. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people manage sudden pressures and ongoing worries. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent and what can be tried next.
Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy among other approaches. Sidonie draws on these methods to help people understand unhelpful thoughts, find motivation for change, and process difficult experiences at a pace that suits the individual.
She often works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, codependency, communication problems, infidelity and loneliness. Sidonie helps people struggling after adoption or foster care experiences, and those adjusting to gender dysphoria or dealing with family problems.
In sessions she aims for straightforward, collaborative conversations. People can expect active listening, questions that help map problems, and practical strategies to try between meetings. The focus is on gradual change and building skills that fit everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Sidonie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT works well for anxiety, low mood and stress by offering clear steps to try between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is brief and collaborative, useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports processing difficult memories in a paced way so the person feels able to manage strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to personal goals and try methods that match those goals. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so sessions stay practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current online session options before booking.

Sidonie uses her therapeutic methods to help make sessions useful and manageable for everyday life.
