EMDR

2. Introduction
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and
Reprocessing), is a powerful psychological
treatment method developed by a clinical
psychologist, Dr Francine Shapiro. A wealth of
research has demonstrated the benefits of
EMDR therapy in treating psychological trauma
arising from experiences as diverse as war-
related experiences, childhood abuse or
neglect, natural disaster, assault, road traffic
accidents, and workplace accidents.
Recent research also suggests the benefits of
using EMDR therapy in treating a number of
conditions, including anxiety disorders,
depression, and chronic pain. EMDR therapy has
been found to be of benefit to children as well
as adults.

3. EMDR Training
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. 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. The standard
EMDR training course is divided into four parts, which
includes 10 hours of supervision and consultancy. It
provides the time, support and supervision
necessary to enable trainees to fully integrate this
unique and innovative therapy into their existing
therapeutic skills.

4. During training, practical work takes place in small groups (maximum 12) with the assistance
of an experienced facilitator or trainer. Trainees will also practice the protocol by working on
their own material (i.e. an old memory), both as a client and clinician. We are currently
providing EMDR online courses via Zoom at least until the end of August.
