Online EMDR Basic Training

Therapist performing EMDR

Naomi's training is delivered online using Zoom and break-out rooms.

The course takes seven days and consists of three separate parts. It is a practical course and you will practise doing EMDR on each other from Part 1.

You will learn how to implement the basic protocol, how to adapt that to your clients and how to work with complex trauma. You will also learn how to use EMDR as a transdiagnostic intervention. This training covers everything you need to start using EMDR.

Training covers:

  • The 8-phase EMDR protocol
  • The evidence base
  • Understanding trauma and PTSD
  • Formulation and the adaptive information processing model
  • Preparation and self-soothing
  • The Three-Prongs of EMDR
  • Using EMDR beyond PTSD
  • Working with complex trauma
  • Working with children
  • Working with neurodiversity
  • Case supervision
  • EMDR Practicum

It includes 10 hours of clinical supervision.

You will need to attend every part of the training to receive the attendance certificate which is necessary if you want to continue to accreditation with the EMDR UK Association. This takes at least a year after completing the training and requires you to have ongoing supervision as well as to submit videos.

  • Part 1: 16-18th October 2024
  • Part 2: 12-13th December 2024
  • Part 3: 10-11th February 2025

EMDR Refresher Day

Logs floating down a river

Naomi runs regular EMDR Refresher days for those who are already trained in EMDR but who want to refresh their knowledge. These people may have had some time away from clinical work, have just been on parental leave or might have never quite got going with EMDR.

These days are online and they cover all aspects of the standard protocol, including cognitive interweaves. They are interactive and there are lots of chances to ask questions.

You've done the EMDR basic training. You know that it could help your clients but you're finding it hard to get started. Maybe you did the training a while ago and never quite got going, or maybe you've recently finished but need an extra hand to get yourself up and running. Maybe your clients seem so complex that you just don't know how to try it out.

Over the course of the day we'll go over the 8 phases and three prongs of the standard protocol, troubleshoot problems and revisit the Adaptive Information Processing model. We'll discuss case formulation, dive deep into cognitive interweaves and how to use them address common errors and how to avoid them.

All in Naomi's trademark down-to-earth and engaging style, with videos to demonstrate key points. You'll leave energised and ready to launch (or turbo-charge) your EMDR practice.

All participants receive a manual, a copy of the slides and access to Naomi's EMDR Refresher videos for 6 months.

This day is suitable for both adult and child therapists who have completed the EMDR basic training.
