She brings four years of professional experience to her practice in Australia. Sessions focus on working through painful memories, improving communication, and building daily coping skills. Sidonie balances careful attention to difficult emotions with space for hope and lightness where it fits.
Her work often includes exploring patterns that show up in relationships, such as codependency and attachment difficulties.

The aim is to help clients make sense of their experience and regain a sense of agency.
Sidonie commonly uses evidence-informed strategies that match each person's needs. She encourages collaboration so goals and strategies feel relevant to day-to-day life. Her style is curious, open, and creative, with practical steps between sessions.
Starting therapy is treated as a partnership. Sidonie helps people set small, manageable goals and work towards them at a comfortable pace. She supports people to strengthen resilience and move toward the life they want.
How Sidonie's approaches translate to online therapy
Sidonie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core ways of working. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and processing painful experiences safely and building stronger coping skills for day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sidonie works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, history and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the plan over time so it stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they often remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Appropriately qualified therapists can use these formats to deliver the techniques described above while supporting progress between sessions.
