Sidonie Robertson, AASW

Sidonie Robertson is an AASW social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships and trauma. She offers a warm, curious presence and aims to make space for both difficult feelings and moments of hope. Her straightforward style suits people who want practical support alongside deeper reflection.

With four years of professional experience, Sidonie works with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy issues such as jealousy and infidelity, body image and self-esteem problems, and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with isolation, communication problems and family-related strain.

Sidonie draws on evidence-informed methods to shape each session. She adapts techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches, narrative work and trauma-focused methods to match what the person brings. Sessions are collaborative and aim to build small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and more useful behaviour.

Her background in social work informs a focus on connection and practical outcomes. Sidonie uses active listening and gentle curiosity to help people make sense of painful experiences and develop everyday strategies for coping. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and test changes between sessions.

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Sidonie acknowledges that. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people feel heard and supported as they work toward more balanced, meaningful lives.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Sidonie commonly draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods to guide online work. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Trauma-focused methods help people process and make sense of painful experiences while building stabilising skills to manage strong emotions.

She also uses narrative ideas to help clients reframe their life stories and separate themselves from problem patterns. Narrative work can be useful for issues like shame, identity and relationship wounds because it creates space to name events and try new meanings. Choosing the best mix of methods is a collaborative process, and the therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their goals and preferences.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often help people sustain regular work on issues such as anxiety, relationship concerns and trauma recovery.
