About Rida
Rida Khan is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience practising in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi and Urdu.
Rida focuses on clients from multicultural, migrant and refugee backgrounds as well as people from LGBT+ and other intersectional communities. She helps with anger management, postnatal rage and postnatal depression, and body image concerns shaped by cultural bias. She also supports people coping with trauma linked to religious abuse, radicalisation, war and genocide, and with abuse stemming from childhood trauma, family violence and relationship harm.
Her work combines psychosocial techniques within a decolonising and multicultural framework. Rida describes her practice as person-centred and power-informed. That means she works with each person as an equal collaborator and looks at both individual strengths and wider systems that affect wellbeing.
Practical tools are part of sessions. Rida shares coping strategies, referral options to local services in Australia when needed, and interventions that respond to cultural context. She also helps people manage communication and control issues, attachment difficulties, codependency and caregiver stress.
People who want to discuss anger, grief or the effects of migration often find her approach direct and pragmatic. She aims to reorient attention toward inner resources and to the social supports that make daily life more manageable.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Rida draws on evidence-based psychosocial techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. These techniques teach concrete ways to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and build routines that lower daily stress. They are useful for people dealing with anger linked to anxiety, grief, or trauma.She also uses trauma-informed practice that pays attention to how past hurt shapes reactions now. That approach looks at triggers, grounding skills and pacing so discussions do not become overwhelming. It is often used with people affected by childhood abuse, family violence, or large-scale trauma such as war and displacement.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what helps most. The match between method and problem is reviewed as therapy progresses, and plans are adjusted together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, fewer interruptions to the day, or sessions without being on camera if that suits the person better.
