About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor based in Australia who helps people facing life’s hard moments. She works with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship conflict, grief and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Hindi and uses straightforward, respectful language so people feel heard from the first contact.
Ronika has seven years of experience across schools, community organisations, prisons and NGOs. She has run groups, supported people experiencing homelessness and offered one-to-one sessions in private practice. Those roles exposed her to many practical problems such as coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the fallout from trauma and addiction.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Ronika helps people spot the patterns that used to protect them but now cause pain, and then try different ways of responding. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Person-Centred methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. She combines evidence-based techniques with lived experience to offer clear tools for everyday life, such as managing stress, setting boundaries or coping with big changes.
If someone is unsure where to start, Ronika invites them to take a small first step. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space and to work alongside people as they make changes that matter to them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and clarify what matters to them, then take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with long-term health challenges.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and testing simple changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often helps with mood, anxiety, addiction-related habits and problem-solving.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. This approach can support work on intimacy-related issues, relationship patterns and attachment difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals and personal preferences. Choices are reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change when it needs to.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work and medical appointments, and can reduce travel time. It also allows focused short check-ins when life gets busy or quieter, camera-free options if that helps concentration, and flexible timing to suit day-to-day routines.
