Misgana Berhane is a BACP-accredited person-centred therapist and self-employed practitioner with over 18 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and racial identity. Her work has included roles with the NHS, Black Minds Matter and various refugee and diaspora support organisations.

She is passionate about the self-healing of mind and body, integrating mindfulness, EMDR, and body-mind approaches into her therapeutic work. As a qualified EMDR therapist, Misgana specialises in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. She is also a clinical supervisor and trainer. Much of her practice is shaped by her lived experience as a refugee from war-torn Ethiopia/Eritrea, and by overcoming racial trauma in the UK. These personal experiences have deepened her empathy and enhanced her ability to connect with clients navigating displacement, systemic oppression, and identity challenges.

Misgana has also designed and delivered training programmes including:

• Cultural Competency Training in Mental Health for East Sussex County Council, supporting professionals to engage effectively with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds
• OCN Level 3 Mediation Training in Intergenerational Family Mediation and Neighbourhood Dispute Resolution
