About Ronika

Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor in Australia with seven years of experience supporting people through tough moments. She works with adults who are struggling with issues such as anger, addiction, relationship conflict, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people facing parenting stress, low self-esteem, ADHD and major life changes.

Ronika has worked across schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs and private practice. That background means she has seen common patterns that show up after trauma, loss or prolonged stress. She offers practical, down-to-earth help rather than abstract theory.

In sessions she helps people identify behaviours that once helped them cope but now get in the way. She talks through how those patterns began and what keeps them going. Together with the client she develops clearer ways of responding when anger, anxiety or cravings arise.

Her clinical work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based ideas and person-centred methods. These tools are used to build skills for handling strong feelings, improving communication, and managing urges linked to addiction.

Ronika also has experience running group work and one-to-one programs for people who have experienced homelessness or who have complex needs. She uses that experience to shape simple, doable strategies for day-to-day life.

Sessions are conducted in English and Hindi. Ronika asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.

How Ronika uses ACT, CBT and attachment ideas online

Ronika often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed into reacting. ACT can be useful for anger and avoidance by teaching values-based actions and simple mindfulness skills.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practise new responses. CBT work tends to focus on manageable steps such as testing assumptions, changing behaviour experiments and building coping skills for stress and cravings.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when anger, intimacy or trust issues stem from past hurts and repeated relationship cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ronika will discuss your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor tasks and exercises to fit everyday life rather than relying on one fixed model.

The practical benefit of online sessions is being able to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find shorter check-ins, flexible timing or not needing extra travel time makes it easier to attend and to practise new skills between sessions.
