About Arnivida
Registered Clinical Counsellor (PACFA) with 20 years' experience. Arnivida Martinez works in Australia and has supported people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Tagalog and draws on clients' strengths in sessions.
Arnivida uses a collaborative approach. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps them identify practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear communication, building self-regard, and addressing patterns that keep problems repeating.
Common concerns she helps people work through include workplace issues, communication problems, forgiveness, and self-love, alongside the core areas of anxiety, stress, addiction and relationship strain. Conversations tend to be direct and practical, with attention to what can change between sessions.
Across 20 years in Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines she has worked in a range of settings. That experience informs a flexible style that aims to match method to the person's goals rather than stick to one way of working. Arnivida explains options and helps people choose what fits their situation.
Sessions are structured around the client's priorities. People can expect focused discussion, simple strategies to try between appointments, and regular review of progress. The first session is used to map concerns and agree on next steps.
Sheet 2
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Arnivida describes her work as collaborative and evidence-based. Two broad approaches she draws on are problem-focused techniques and strengths-based work. Problem-focused techniques break issues into manageable steps and teach practical skills for coping with anxiety, workplace stress and relationship conflict. Strengths-based work helps people notice resources they already have and use those strengths to tackle addictive patterns and boost self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Arnivida will review what’s been tried, talk about goals and preferences, and suggest methods that fit the person's circumstances. That decision is made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care while balancing work and family commitments.
