Thank you for visiting! We’re glad you’re interested in learning more about our work
Here’s how we’re making an impact:
Our Mission and Vision
Faithless Hijabi is a secular, non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-changing mental health support and advocacy for ExMuslims who have faced persecution, discrimination, or social ostracism after choosing to leave Islam or other faith communities. We champion the right to freedom of belief and work tirelessly to create safe, secular spaces for individuals to heal, rebuild, and reclaim their lives. Our focus is on supporting those at high risk—refugees, displaced individuals, LGBT minorities, and women facing honor-based violence—many of whom come from regions where questioning or leaving Islam carries severe personal consequences.
Mental Health Program
Our Mental Health Program is a crucial lifeline for ExMuslims who have been marginalized, silenced, or threatened for their beliefs. This program addresses the complex and deeply personal challenges faced by those leaving Islam, where social isolation, trauma, and fear often create profound barriers to recovery. Most of our beneficiaries are from the Middle East, though we’ve supported individuals from 29 countries. To ensure accessibility, our therapists provide culturally attuned, trauma-informed care in English, Arabic, and Farsi, understanding the unique contexts that shape our clients’ experiences.
In countries where seeking mental health support as an ExMuslim or an LGBT individual can be dangerous, Faithless Hijabi offers a secure alternative. We connect ExMuslims with multilingual therapists in confidential online settings, mitigating the risks associated with seeking help. For many, this is their first chance to openly discuss their struggles with professionals who both understand the trauma of leaving Islam and respect the cultural nuances that influence their journeys. Each session is a step toward healing, resilience, and self-recovery.
The program’s core mission is to address the profound and often unspoken impact of religious trauma on ExMuslims, for whom specialised mental health services are extremely rare. Recognising the unique challenges they face, Faithless Hijabi offers safe, confidential therapy sessions to ExMuslims globally, particularly in regions like the MENA, where seeking local support can be dangerous. Through this program, individuals receive compassionate, culturally attuned care, empowering them to process their experiences, build resilience, and navigate the complexities of reclaiming their lives outside of faith.

Ways to support us
Donations are a great way to help us continue with providing the services. Every dollar donated to Faithless Hijabi directly funds therapy sessions, offering a safe and compassionate space for ExMuslims who have lived with trauma in silence. By supporting our mental health program, you are helping provide critical, specialized care to individuals who have nowhere else to turn. Your donation ensures that those who have been marginalized and isolated can find resilience, rebuild their lives, and emerge empowered.
After the generous discounts our therapists offer: 1 session costs between 70 – 80 AUD, we offer 12 sessions for each individual. 12 sessions = 840 – 960 AUD
Collborate with us! One of our key focus for the next year is to continue what Faithless Hijabi started – amplifying the voices of ExMuslims while expanding the Mental Health program.
In order to continue to do that, we would love the help from others! Whether you’re a social media whiz, have experience in grant writing, or any background in Mental Health as a service provider – collaborate with us!
Faithless Hijabi is committed to a world where ExMuslims and others who leave their faiths are free to live authentically, seek healing, and feel safe. Your support means more than just funding a program—it is a powerful statement of solidarity with those who face extraordinary challenges for choosing their own path. Thank you for standing with us in this life-changing work to promote freedom, healing, and human dignity.
