About Ronika
Ronika Martin works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next step. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and improve everyday functioning. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making it easier to speak about difficult things.
Ronika draws on seven years of experience in a range of settings. She has worked in schools, community organisations, prisons and drug treatment units, and in independent practice.
Background and approach
She has run group sessions and provided one-to-one support for people facing addiction, housing instability, trauma and relationship conflict. She believes many unhelpful behaviours began as ways to cope. Ronika helps clients gently identify those patterns and tries different ways of responding that fit current life demands.
Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings as well as the questions you need to think through in the room. Her work uses evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Narrative and Attachment-based ideas. Ronika adapts her approach to the person in front of her and to the problem they brought that day.
Ronika holds ACA as a credential and speaks English and Hindi. She understands that reaching out can be hard, and she aims to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space to explore change and build practical coping skills.

Online session options
How Ronika’s approaches work online
Ronika commonly uses Narrative ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. Narrative approaches help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships so they can step away from limiting patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to you and on practical steps to act in line with those values while accepting difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ronika will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try an approach and adjust it as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant to your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video suits longer conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging helps keep a steady, ongoing thread between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical change and coping skills.
