Rashidah Fido
Rashidah is an experienced clinician with an integrative therapeutic style, characterised by warmth, professionalism and creative engagement. She is committed to ensuring every individual feels seen, heard and genuinely supported throughout their therapeutic journey.
Rashidah is trained in a range of evidence‑based modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and expressive therapies. While she is skilled in approaches traditionally used with children—such as play‑based and creative modalities—she integrates these techniques thoughtfully when appropriate, while primarily tailoring her work to the needs of adults seeking a meaningful and personalised therapy experience.
Rashidah has extensive experience working with adults across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, trauma, complex PTSD, grief and loss, anger, and attachment‑related issues. She brings over a decade of clinical experience across diverse settings, including regional hospitals, Headspace, infant and child mental health services, and youth diversion programs, contributing to her deeply informed and flexible therapeutic approach.
