Eugene Ellis

Eugene Ellis is a writer and public speaker on issues of race, difference and intersectionality. He trained as an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist and has a particular interest in body-orientated therapies and mindfulness. He is also the founder and director of The Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN), a network of therapists committed, passionate and actively engaged in addressing the psychological needs of Black, African and South Asian people in the UK.

Eugene's book 'Transforming Race Conversations: A Healing Guide For Us All' explores the intersection of race and trauma, the non-verbal communication of race and how to navigate oppressive patterns. Eugene's chapter in 'Intercultural Therapy: Challenges, Insights and Developments' entitled 'Finding our voice across the Black/white divide: race issues in therapy', reflects on the therapists' process when issues of race become foreground for the therapist, the client or the trainee therapist and what processes encourage and maintain the ability to stay with race dialogue.
