Therapy without faith: Muslim clients' experience of religious exclusion and minimisation in therapy
These findings highlight the need for therapists to actively explore and integrate clients' religious worldviews, and for services to consider culturally responsive practices. The findings also suggest a need for enhanced cultural competence training and systemic changes to improve the therapeutic experience for Muslim clients. This study offers insight for developing more inclusive and effective mental health practices as well as implications for clinical practice.
