About Rida
Rida Khan is an AASW social worker who brings three years of professional experience to her counselling. She works with people from multicultural, migrant and refugee backgrounds, and supports LGBT+ clients. She focuses on practical help for anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and coping with life changes.
Rida uses a person-centred, power-informed stance that treats the client as an equal in the room. She draws on psychosocial techniques within a decolonising and multicultural framework. That means she pays attention to cultural context and how social systems affect wellbeing while helping people build inner strengths.
Her practice addresses childhood trauma, family violence and relationship-related abuse, as well as religious abuse and issues tied to radicalisation and violent extremism. She also supports people with postnatal rage or depression, body-image concerns affected by cultural bias, and complex grief linked to war or genocide.
Rida offers strategies for everyday problems like anger management, communication difficulties, codependency and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. She helps people manage modern isolation and the pressures of digital life, and can assist with attachment, abandonment and blended family issues.
Rida works in English, Hindi and Urdu and provides referrals to local services in Australia when useful. Her approach aims to combine practical tools and attention to cultural safety so people can move forward in ways that fit their lives.
How Rida’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rida draws on evidence-based psychosocial techniques and a person-centred way of working. Psychosocial techniques focus on practical coping skills, problem-solving and connecting people with social supports; they are useful for stress, chronic illness and caregiver strain. A person-centred approach emphasises listening, reflecting your priorities and working at your pace, which helps when processing grief, trauma or life transitions.She also uses a multicultural, decolonising lens to understand how culture and social systems shape a person's experience. This helps when addressing issues such as cultural bias in body image, migration-related stress, or trauma tied to conflict and displacement. Together with the client she will assess which methods suit their background and current needs, and adapt techniques to cultural and personal preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online options helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or choose audio-only check-ins when they prefer not to be on camera. Rida will work collaboratively to find the format and rhythm that best match your goals and everyday routine, and suggest local referrals in Australia when additional supports are needed.
