About Rida
Rida Khan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and life changes. Rida supports people from multicultural, migrant and refugee backgrounds, and those from LGBT+ and intersectional communities.
She draws on psychosocial techniques within a decolonising and multicultural framework. That means she pays attention to culture, power and systemic issues as well as personal experience. Rida uses person-centred principles and power-informed practice so the work focuses on a client's strengths and choices.
Rida helps people talk through anxiety, depression, anger regulation and postnatal experiences. She also supports those processing childhood trauma, family violence and relationship-related abuse. Her approach includes attention to complex trauma linked to war, genocide, religious abuse and radicalisation.
Practical skills and referrals are part of her practice. She offers psychosocial strategies for coping with grief, body image concerns affected by cultural bias, caregiver stress, chronic health issues and the isolating effects of digital life. Where appropriate she can suggest local Australian services and referrals.
Rida works in English and also speaks Hindi and Urdu. She aims to collaborate with each person, recognising cultural context and systemic barriers while focusing on everyday steps that can make life more manageable.
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Rida uses psychosocial techniques that focus on practical coping skills and social supports. These techniques involve identifying daily stressors, building routines, and practising specific strategies to manage anxiety, anger and grief. They suit people who want clear, actionable steps to handle everyday pressure.She also applies person-centred principles which place the client's experience and goals at the centre of sessions. That approach means the therapist listens for what matters most to the client and adapts work to their priorities. A power-informed, decolonising perspective is used alongside these methods to address cultural and systemic factors affecting mental health.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods based on the client's needs and preferences. This partnership helps choose techniques that fit the client's goals, whether that is symptom management, processing trauma, or improving daily functioning.
