Rida Khan

Rida Khan is credentialed in Australia and has over three years of professional experience supporting clients from multicultural, migrant and refugee, LGBT+ and other intersectional backgrounds. She works with clients to strengthen their social health and, where appropriate, connects them with relevant services in Australia.

Her clinical work addresses a range of concerns including anxiety, stress and depression; anger management; postnatal rage and postnatal depression; body-image issues and cultural bias related to colonisation; trauma-informed care for religious abuse, radicalisation and violent extremism; and complex trauma associated with war and genocide. She also supports people who have experienced childhood trauma, family violence or relationship-related abuse, and those coping with grief, loss and the isolation that can come with life in the digital age.

Rida shares psychosocial techniques within a decolonising, multicultural framework and practices in a person-centred way. She is committed to power-informed practice, approaching the therapeutic relationship as an equal partnership and centring clients' inner strengths to help overcome both personal barriers and the systemic barriers people of colour often face. She views the act of seeking therapy and doing inner work as part of resistance to colonial forces, and aims to support clients in reaching their fullest potential.
