Naomi has been using EMDR since 2005. She is passionate about helping others to use EMDR in a creative and responsive way.
She has used EMDR in primary care and specialist NHS settings, as well as in private practice, with the Metropolitan Police and in third sector organisations. She uses EMDR with children, adolescents and adults, and has a particular interest in reducing barriers for those who are not always able to access therapy.
In order to train in EMDR you must already be qualified and accredited as a mental health professional. Eligibility is set by the EMDR Association UK.
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 standard 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.
Starts Sep 2026
Starts Feb 2027
Training covers:
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.
After completion, we will give you 12 month’s access to our EMDR refresher videos and 50% off our Making EMDR Accessible workshop.

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 standard 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 standard training.
