About Ronika Martin
Ronika Martin is a registered mental health professional based in Australia with seven years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She has worked across schools, community organisations, prisons - including drug treatment units - NGOs, and private practice, bringing a broad perspective shaped by work in group therapy, outreach with people experiencing homelessness, and one-to-one support for those facing addiction, relationship conflict, trauma, and emotional distress.
Ronika has supported people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation or confidence. She recognises that reaching out can feel intimidating and approaches that step with sensitivity and respect, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin. Much of the behaviour people struggle with today began as a way to cope with past harm or difficult circumstances, and Ronika helps clients gently identify those patterns and explore more helpful responses in the present.
Her practice draws on evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Person-Centred Therapy, and trauma-informed care, alongside her own lived experience. Ronika tailors each session to the individual, offering a warm, non-judgmental space where people can feel heard and supported as they work toward meaningful change. She also holds the ACA credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Ronika often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward a meaningful life. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress when people want to move toward what matters to them despite uncomfortable internal experiences.
She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach helps people who struggle with relationship conflict, abandonment concerns, or attachment-related difficulties to understand emotional needs and build healthier connections.
In practice Ronika works collaboratively with each person to find which approach or combination of approaches fits best. She helps clients identify goals, consider preferences, and adapt techniques to suit their situation so the therapy process feels personalised and practical.
Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to access support when in-person options are limited. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity of care across life changes, and multiple ways for people to engage with licensed professionals and therapists in a way that suits their comfort and needs.
