Khalida Haque is a psychotherapist, clinical leader, author, and trainer with a longstanding commitment to culturally responsive mental health care. She has worked across mental health, community, and educational settings, leading therapeutic services that support individuals, families, and communities from diverse cultural, ethnic, and faith backgrounds.

Her professional interests include intercultural mental health, domestic abuse, trauma-informed practice, and the ways in which culture, migration, faith, identity, and social inequality shape psychological wellbeing across the life course. She is particularly interested in the impact of early relationships and early intervention on long-term emotional wellbeing, and in how therapeutic relationships can create opportunities for understanding, connection, and change while recognising the wider social and cultural contexts in which people live.

She is the author of Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy and Domestic Abuse (Routledge), which explores the integration of Islamic perspectives with contemporary psychotherapy in supporting survivors of domestic abuse. Alongside her clinical and leadership work, she contributes to training, supervision, service development, and the advancement of culturally and faith-informed approaches to mental health care.

At Nafsiyat, she is committed to advancing intercultural therapeutic practice and supporting people to explore their experiences in ways that honour the complexity of their identities, histories, relationships, and communities.
