EMDR Training
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.
Our trainers and facilitators are experienced clinicians
from varied backgrounds:
- Clinical psychology
- Psychotherapy
- Child, adolescent and maternal health
- Combat stress
- Counselling and Nursing
- Cognitive behaviour therapy
The two most expereinced members of the team (Dr Manda Holmshaw and Dr David Blore) have both published extensively on EMDR and were trained by Dr Francine Shapiro, the founder of EMDR. The training still adheres to Shapiro's principles.
The training coordinator Stephen Smith and his team are knowledgeable, professional and always ready to help. Stephen also liaises with Moving Minds' our sister company's clinicians nationally when they expressthe wish to take on referrals from Moving Minds, an expereinced psychological rehabilitation company
