About Rida
Rida Khan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She offers warm, person-centred support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. Her work aims to strengthen everyday coping and help clients notice their own resources.
Rida emphasises a multicultural and decolonising framework. She uses trauma-informed care when addressing abuse, childhood trauma, and complex harm linked to war, genocide, or radicalisation. She also supports people facing body image concerns and cultural bias shaped by colonisation.
Her approach is power-informed and collaborative. Rida treats the client as an equal and focuses on practical steps that build inner strength. She draws on psychosocial techniques and refers to local services in Australia when those referrals are helpful.
Rida works with people experiencing postnatal depression and postnatal rage, anger management needs, and challenges tied to modern isolation and digital media. She also helps with issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment, codependency and caregiving stress.
Sessions are conducted with respect for each person’s identity, including multicultural, migrant or refugee experiences and LGBT+ concerns. Rida communicates in English and is also able to work in Hindi and Urdu when needed.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Rida draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and trauma-informed practice in her work. In plain terms, trauma-informed care means recognising how past harm affects feelings and behaviour, then pacing work so it feels manageable; this helps with complex trauma, abuse and refugee-related stress. She also uses person-centred methods that prioritise each person’s goals and strengths, which is useful for anxiety, grief and codependency-related patterns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rida discusses what feels most helpful and adjusts methods as clients’ goals and needs become clearer. The aim is to find practical tools that fit daily life and make steady progress together.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist who understands multicultural, migrant or LGBT+ experiences without needing to change your routine.
