About Ronika
Ronika Martin is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with seven years' experience helping people through difficult life moments. She works one-to-one and in groups with people facing addiction, relationship problems, trauma, grief and low mood. Ronika aims to make first contact feel manageable and to meet each person with patience and respect.
She has worked in schools, community organisations, non-government organisations and prisons, including drug treatment units. That background means she is used to practical, real-world problems and varied life situations.
Background and approach
She has supported people experiencing homelessness and those needing focused addiction support. Ronika explains how many unhelpful behaviours began as coping strategies. In sessions she helps people gently notice those patterns and try different ways of responding that fit their current life.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with a focus on what people want to change now. She draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and uses existential ideas to help with meaning and values. Ronika tailors conversation and exercises to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions are offered in English and Hindi. People can expect practical tools, reflective conversation and collaborative goal-setting designed to build confidence and clearer choices over time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ronika uses a mix of approaches that focus on meaning, values and practical change. Existential Therapy helps people look at life meaning, choice and responsibility in simple terms, useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about direction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping people take small steps toward values-based goals, which can help with anxiety, depression and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people with trust, intimacy and communication challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ronika will talk through what matters to the person, their goals and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as work progresses. That means sessions are tailored rather than fixed to one model.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit brief reflections or people who prefer text. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and provide consistent access regardless of location.
