Listen to Noomii's interview with Menah Raven-Ellison

About Me

Hi, I’m Menah. I’m a coach and experienced senior Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I completed the Barefoot Coach Training for Business and Personal Coaching and am fully accredited with the BABCP. I have 16 years’ experience working for the NHS as a therapist, supervisor and manager. I am qualified as an EMDR therapist and Occupational Therapist, and also registered with the HCPC.

Over my career, I have successfully helped hundreds of people from all walks of life. This includes charity leaders, entrepreneurs, journalists, doctors, politicians, home makers, professional poker players and much more.

I am sensitive to everyone I support, and helped many people from culturally rich and diverse backgrounds, countries, religious beliefs and identities. I take a curious approach to helping my clients become more self-aware and lead more rewarding lives.

My first degree was in Development Studies from the School of Oriental Studies and African Studies (SOAS) and I have a PhD from Queen Mary, University of London in Health Geographies. I have a particular passion for working with those who are striving for social or environmental good, but are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing.

My core values are trust, respect, integrity, accountability and compassion.

My approach

Compassionate: I’ll offer unwavering compassion through your toughest moments and will remain committed to helping you reach your goals and create the life you desire.

Effective: I take pride in providing high-quality, evidence-based coaching and therapy. I have a proven record of helping clients overcome challenges and achieve lasting transformation.

Strengths-based: I firmly believe you have the building blocks you need. I’ll help you tap into your inherent strengths and positive qualities to promote personal growth, resilience and well-being.

Honest: I’ll use kindness as a foundation for honesty, and with your agreement, the offering of gentle challenge when necessary.
