About Sidonie

Sidonie Robertson is an AASW social worker who brings a warm, client-centred approach to therapy. She draws on practical methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship or intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. Sidonie writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

Sidonie combines curiosity and creativity in sessions. She focuses on clear, manageable steps so people can feel steadier between appointments. Conversations can include looking at patterns, testing small changes, and finding new ways to tell difficult stories.

Her background includes four years of professional practice across mental health concerns such as PTSD, OCD, depression and work or study pressures. She also supports people dealing with family problems, body image worries, and feelings of isolation. Adoption and foster care concerns are among the additional areas she works with.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client. Sidonie aims to balance careful exploration of painful material with moments of hope and practical problem-solving. She helps people build resilience and clearer choices for daily life.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Sidonie encourages small, practical steps toward change and offers steady support while people work through what matters to them.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Sidonie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing. CBT involves looking at day-to-day thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process upsetting memories and develop coping skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are uncertain about change by exploring values and gently building motivation.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest options and adjust methods as you go. This collaborative stance means techniques can be mixed to fit what feels most useful for you.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets conversations continue when life circumstances make in-person visits harder. Discuss practical arrangements and timing during the first contact so sessions suit your routine.
