About Sidonie
Sidonie Robertson is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) practising in New South Wales with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps rather than technical jargon.
Sidonie uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns that keep problems going. Narrative Therapy helps people put their experiences into stories they can understand and revise.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that make a real difference. Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered when past harms affect day-to-day life, with attention to safety and pacing during those discussions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change or feeling stuck.
In sessions she listens for what matters to the person and works out practical steps together. Conversations might include coping strategies, communication practice, and ways to rebuild confidence. She pays attention to relationships, attachment experiences, and patterns that repeat across different areas of life.
Sidonie values moments of relief alongside the harder work of looking at painful experiences. She encourages realistic, manageable changes people can try between sessions. Her work suits people who want clear options and collaborative planning for what comes next.
How Sidonie applies therapy online and her main approaches
Sidonie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills that reduce anxiety and stress in day-to-day life.She also draws on Narrative Therapy, which helps people tell and revise the stories they carry about themselves. This approach can be useful for issues like identity, attachment history, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about making a change. It involves careful listening and gentle questioning to clarify values and build readiness for steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sidonie will discuss these options with the person and decide together which methods best match their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Discuss format preferences during the matching questionnaire so session logistics suit everyday life.
