About Sidonie
Sidonie Robertson is an AASW-accredited social worker who brings a practical, gentle approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Sidonie works in clear, straightforward language and aims to make the first step as simple as possible.
She has four years of professional experience in social work across New South Wales and Australia. That background includes supporting people with PTSD and trauma, OCD, depression, sexual health worries, work and study pressures, family problems and body image concerns.
Background and approach
Her experience gives her a broad view of how different life areas connect and affect wellbeing. Sidonie describes her style as warm, curious and client-centred. She listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and helps people make sense of painful events and patterns.
She also looks for moments of hope and lightness when they arise, so sessions feel balanced and humane. Her practice mixes different methods to match each person’s needs. Sidonie draws on Narrative Therapy to reframe life stories, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for changing unhelpful thoughts and routines, and Trauma-Focused approaches when working with past harms.
She adapts sessions so they feel relevant and manageable. People who choose Sidonie can expect collaborative sessions where goals are practical and clear. She supports individuals to build resilience, improve communication, and work towards more satisfying relationships and daily life.
Taking that first step is recognised as an important act of courage, and she aims to make it easier.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Sidonie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Online approaches that shape conversations and change
Sidonie uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how life events and relationships shape identity and helps people find alternative, more helpful meanings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practise small changes in behaviour and thinking that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by clarifying values and strengthening commitment to goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sidonie discusses options and tailors methods to each person's goals, needs and pace. She treats therapy as a collaboration so people feel involved in planning sessions and tracking progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and develop rapport, while phone sessions can fit a shorter break in the day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, or when typing helps people organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity of care with appropriately qualified or registered professionals.
