About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who helps people facing grief, addiction, relationship strain, anxiety and depression. She works with individuals who feel stuck by old coping patterns and want clearer ways to move forward. Ronika writes and speaks plainly, and aims to make the first steps less overwhelming for people who are worried or unsure.
She has seven years of practical experience across schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs and private practice. That variety shaped her ability to adapt sessions to different needs, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns.
Ronika uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and attachment-based ideas. She explains how past survival strategies can become unhelpful today and works with people to spot those patterns and try alternatives.
Her background includes group work and one-to-one counselling for people dealing with homelessness, addiction and trauma. She also supports people with parenting stress, career worries, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Ronika aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space and focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions. If someone is ready to take the first step, she offers a straightforward process to begin.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and regulating emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how people respond to different techniques, and then choose methods collaboratively. That means sessions can shift over time if something else would fit better.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from places that suit them and can be a practical way to keep continuity of care when schedules change.
