About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, grief and anxiety. She writes simply and listens closely, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
Ronika has seven years of practical experience in a wide range of settings. She has worked in schools, community organisations, prisons including drug treatment units, NGOs, and private practice. She has run group programs and worked one-to-one with people living with homelessness, addiction and trauma-related distress.
She often sees how coping strategies that once helped can become barriers later on. Her work focuses on gently identifying those patterns and supporting clients to try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on small, real changes that fit into daily life and goals that matter to the person sitting across from her.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods, as well as existential ideas and motivational interviewing. She adapts these approaches to each person rather than using a fixed formula.
Ronika speaks English and Hindi. She describes her space as warm and non-judgemental and centres empathy and respect in sessions. For people connected to adoption and foster care concerns, she includes that focus among other areas she supports.
If someone is ready to begin, Ronika asks them to use the platform Start Therapy process to match and schedule a time that suits their availability.
How Ronika’s approaches translate to online therapy
Ronika commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety, addiction or motivation problems. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current ways of relating, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.She also uses Client-Centred methods that emphasise listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to steer sessions. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - Ronika works with clients to decide what techniques match their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone meet from a quieter location or avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual input. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt exercises and homework so the work remains practical and relevant when done remotely.
