I’m Mayameen Meftahi BEM, a survivor of child sexual abuse, trauma specialist, public speaker, and Founder of BeyondTrauma Academy CIC. Since courageously sharing my story nationally in 2018, I have dedicated my life to creating spaces where healing and transformation are possible.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, NLP coach, and independent professional advocate. I designed the BeyondTrauma Recovery Programme, now accredited at Level 4, commissioned by Action for Children, and delivered by a global team of trained facilitators. This program empowers individuals to recover, grow, and, for some, become BeyondTrauma Facilitators themselves—creating their own legacies of healing.

I have shared my journey on the TEDx stage, lectured at The Queen’s Nursing Institute, appeared in a Channel 5 documentary, and successfully campaigned for the UK’s first-ever child refuge for victims of sexual abuse. In 2020, I was deeply honoured to receive the British Empire Medal for my services to child victims.

Founding BeyondTrauma Academy CIC, I have now been able to grow my legacy—creating a stronger platform to empower survivors, train professionals, and foster healing that goes beyond traditional support.
Separating this work has allowed me to expand its reach and impact on a global scale, while also giving me space to follow my own path into holistic healing here on my personal website. This side of my journey is deeply personal—because as I continue to help others heal, I too remain committed to my own healing and growth.
