Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the most significant, exciting and
innovative therapeutic developments for decades in the treatment of psychological trauma related conditions,
supported by extensive research. It is recommended for the treatment of PTSD in national and international
guidelines including the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the
International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS). EMDR is a successful therapy used by counsellors,
therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists

PATHWAY
In on-going consultation, coaching and development with
many hundreds of EMDR Therapists successfully trained
by EMDR Works, we have created effective and efficient
methods for training EMDR therapists.
Our training for Eye Movement Desensitisation and
Reprocessing (EMDR) is highly interactive with a balance
between theoretical and practical work, with live and
video demonstrations.

The standard EMDR training course is divided into four
parts, which includes 10 hours of supervision and
