Sidonie Robertson, AASW

Sidonie Robertson is an Accredited Social Worker based in New South Wales with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She holds the AASW credential, which indicates affiliation with the Australian Association of Social Workers, and brings a practical, informed approach to concerns such as PTSD and trauma, OCD, depression, anxiety and stress, sexual health matters, relationship and intimacy difficulties, work and study pressures, family problems, body image concerns and self-esteem.

Her practice is warm, compassionate and client-centred, shaped by openness, curiosity and creativity. Sidonie works collaboratively with clients to explore difficult experiences and emotions while also making room for hope, humour and lightness where appropriate. She values active listening and thoughtful collaboration as tools to help people make sense of their history, build resilience and move toward a more balanced life.

Sidonie has a particular interest in supporting people managing abandonment, attachment and adoption-related issues, codependency, communication difficulties, infidelity, isolation and related challenges. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and empowered to pursue meaningful change. Taking the first step can be courageous, and Sidonie offers steady support for those seeking practical strategies and deeper self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sidonie Robertson uses a range of evidence-informed approaches suited to different concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood and stress by developing practical skills and experiments to test new ways of coping. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced, stabilising way to reduce trauma-related symptoms and restore a sense of safety and control. Narrative Therapy invites clients to explore the stories they tell about themselves, separating the person from the problem so that alternative, more empowering narratives can emerge.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey, and Sidonie works collaboratively with each client to select methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt strategies to ensure the work feels meaningful and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from home, work or wherever they are. This adaptability can make it easier to maintain consistency in therapy while fitting around study, work and family commitments.
