What is EMDR?
What is PTSD?
EMDR Extra has been offering highly interactive, trainee-centred, innovative, small group trainings since 2002. The training is accredited by EMDR Europe and is highly regarded amongst clinicians. It evolved when EMDR came of age in Britain and some British and European trainers took the initiative to disengage from the American EMDR Institute, EMDRIA, and the use of American trainers in British trainings. This has led to a lively and dynamic European EMDR Association with more than 20 constituent member countries.
The most experienced member of the team (Dr Manda Holmshaw) has published extensively on EMDR and was trained by Dr Francine Shapiro, the founder of EMDR. The training still adheres to Shapiro’s principles.
The training coordinator, Nicki Simons, and her team are knowledgeable, professional and always ready to help. Nicki also liaises with Moving Minds’ our sister company’s clinicians nationally when they express the wish to take on referrals from Moving Minds, an experienced psychological rehabilitation company.
Post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), the consequences of adverse life events, current anxieties, phobias, chronic pain and phantom limb pain, complex grief and complex trauma and dissociation, childhood abuse and work with children and adolescents. Emerging work in using EMDR with chronic depression, OCD, eating disorders, eaning difficulties, generalised anxiety disorder and many other difficulties also promises successful outcomes, worldwide.
After completion of all three parts of the training, you become eligible to work towards accreditation with EMDR UK and Ireland Organisation, already having accumulated 10 hours of supervision. Accreditation can take place, if all the requirements are fullfilled, one year after completing the course.
Our trainings are informative and enjoyable, so much so that attendees often keep in touch with us and each other after completing their training.
Attending one of our trainings also allows you to attend regular Moving Minds Trainings on Hands-on Clinical Topics at a discounted rate (admin@moving-minds.org).
Next session: The next EMDR training will be scheduled soon.
