Sidonie Robertson

Sidonie Robertson is an AASW social worker with four years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma. She frames sessions around practical steps and honest conversation, helping clients find clearer ways forward when life feels overwhelming.

Sidonie uses a client-centred style. She brings warmth, curiosity and a calm manner to sessions. Conversations can be direct when needed and gentle when it helps, with room for humour and relief alongside harder work.

Her work often addresses intimacy-related issues, body image and self-esteem. She also helps people who are dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency and the lasting effects of domestic violence or other abuse. Sidonie talks through relationship problems, communication breakdowns and feelings of isolation or emptiness in straightforward terms.

Sidonie draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches. She aims to make strategies fit day-to-day life so changes feel manageable, not overwhelming.

People can expect active listening and collaborative planning in sessions. Sidonie supports clients to strengthen resilience, set achievable goals and test new ways of relating to themselves and others. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Sidonie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sidonie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing when working with people. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process distressing experiences and build coping skills to manage triggers and flashbacks. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure or stuck by exploring values and boosting readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sidonie will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person's needs. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to practise new skills between sessions and to involve therapy in everyday routines without major disruption.
