More about Rida

3 years' experience
Female
AASW

I am credentialed in Australia with 3 plus years of professional work experience. I specialise in supporting clients from multicultural, migrant/refugee, LGBT+ and other intersectional backgrounds who are dealing with mental health issues with an approach to advance their social health with relevant referrals to services in Australia where applicable. I help clients experiencing:

- Anxiety, Stress and Depression

- Anger Management

- Postnatal Rage & Postnatal Depression

- Body image related issues and cultural bias due to colonisation

- Trauma informed practice around religious abuse, radicalisation & violent extremism, and understanding complex trauma around war and genocide.

- Abuse specifically related to childhood trauma, family violence, and relationship-related abuse.

- Coping with grief and loss and coping with Modern Isolation in times of digital media.

I share a range of psychosocial techniques in my therapeutic practice in line with decolonising and multicultural framework. I believe in a person-centred approach where every individual is unique and on their own journey of human development. I commit to power-informed practice where my client and I are equals and reorient our focus on your inner strengths that will assist you in overcoming inner barriers, as well as systematic barriers that people of colour face in society. Remember, seeking therapy and doing inner work is also part of resistance to colonial powers so let's ensure together that you can reach your highest possible potential!

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
