About Rida
Rida Khan is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, anger and major life changes. She also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and helps with parenting-related difficulties such as postnatal depression and postnatal rage.
Rida commonly sees people from multicultural, migrant and refugee backgrounds, including those from LGBT+ and other intersectional communities. She pays attention to how cultural history and colonisation shape body image and mental health. She also offers informed support for people dealing with religious abuse, radicalisation, war-related trauma and genocide consequences.
Her work uses psychosocial techniques within decolonising and multicultural frameworks. Rida describes her method as person-centred and power-informed. That means she starts by listening to a person’s experience and then works with them as an equal to identify strengths and practical steps forward.
In sessions she shares coping strategies, problem-solving tools and referrals to relevant Australian services when needed. She helps people make sense of attachment and abandonment concerns and addresses family-of-origin patterns that continue to affect relationships and self-view.
Her practice includes attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness and the effects of isolation in the digital age. Rida speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and can explain options and next steps in any of those languages.
Approaches and how online sessions work
Rida draws on evidence-based psychosocial techniques and a person-centred approach. Psychosocial techniques focus on practical skills - such as coping strategies, problem solving and managing strong emotions - and suit stress, anxiety, caregiver strain and chronic illness issues. A person-centred method emphasises listening and collaboration, helping people name what matters and set achievable steps in day-to-day life.She frames work through a decolonising and multicultural lens, which looks at how cultural history and social power affect mental health and body image. That perspective can help when family-of-origin patterns, cultural expectations or migration experiences shape current relationships and wellbeing. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist and client review what works and adjust methods as goals and needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits a person better. The practical aim is to integrate therapy into everyday life while finding approaches that fit each person's circumstances.
