Roje Khalique

Clinical Consultant and Founder of rkTherapy

Roje Khalique is a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, clinical consultant at rkTherapy, and a pioneer in diaspora mental health with nearly two decades of experience supporting thousands of individuals. As the founder of rkTherapy, a London-based psychology consultancy, Roje has revolutionised access to evidence based psychological support for elite, high-functioning professionals who frequently suffer in silence.

Drawing on her firsthand background as a former London City professional, Roje possesses a unique, insider appreciation for the intense pressures inherent in high stakes, traditionally male-dominated corporate environments. She specialises in providing Integration-Led Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CaCBT) at the intersection of psychology, sociology, and culture. Her clinical practice is tailored specifically for diaspora high-achieving professionals, including lawyers, investment bankers, and medics, navigating the complex domains of identity, ambition, and emotional health.

Her expertise proved particularly invaluable during the COVID-19 crisis, where she supported medical professionals, as well as staff at a leading City law firm and financial institutions, through unprecedented burnout, anxiety, and isolation. This pivotal era solidified her mission to actively deconstruct the fragile, validation dependent frameworks that high achievers rely on, reconstructing a durable, resilient self-esteem that does not collapse under pressure. While her current consultancy focuses on high-performance spaces, her deep clinical foundation spans treating complex psychological disorders, acute anxiety conditions, and trauma, alongside navigating physical health and neurodevelopmental conditions, including cancer, diabetes, ADHD, and autism, ensuring her premium care bridges both psychological expertise and rigorous clinical breadth.

Her proprietary framework, Diaspora Intelligence®, offers a clinical pathway for bicultural high achievers, predominantly from African, Caribbean, and Asian heritages, navigating the psychological complexities of straddling two distinct cultures within elite British institutions and global professional spaces. For professionals seeking a structured entry point, she developed Anxiet-Ease®, a CBT based guided digital self-help programme built for those who need evidence-based tools on their own terms and timeline. Today, she continues to pioneer innovative digital and in-person solutions, offering premium, NICE-compliant psychological assessments and treatments to a global clientele spanning the UK, Europe, the US, the Middle East, and Asia.

Roje is dedicated to dismantling the deep-seated stigma surrounding mental health in bicultural communities, firmly believing that true health is wealth. She champions a resilient self-esteem as the core foundation for all wellbeing, demonstrating that robust emotional health is the essential pathway to both personal and professional success, and that safeguarding it is the ultimate prerequisite for sustainable, lifelong achievement.
