Workshop Outline:

The Consultants’ Refresher Day Workshop is open to EMDR Accredited Consultants and Consultants in training who have completed the 5-day EMDR Consultants Training Programme.

It presents an opportunity to be among peers to explore EMDR Consultant Supervision, Clinical Practice and other issues related to being an EMDR Consultant / Supervisor.

The core role of the EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant is, through the provision of clinical supervision and consultant, to ascertain theory-to-practice integration in competency-informed EMDR therapy.

That said, the reality is more EMDR clinicians undertaking EMDR training do not seek accreditation than do.  Conversion from completion of EMDR training to EMDR Europe accreditation is a vexatious issue.

This workshop aims to explore EMDR Consultants’ experiences in providing EMDR Clinical Supervision.

The first section of the day will capture and then landscape EMDR Consultants’ experiences – positive and negative.

The second section will involve re-exploring the current EMDR Euope Accreditation Guidance (Practitioner / Consultant) and the University College London IAPT Competency Framework.  This section will also include a Q&A session to address concerns and inquiries.

The third section will consist of several problem-based learning exercises to address challenging issues that may arise during EMDR clinical supervision and explore how best to deal with such issues.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. To support EMDR Consultants in supervision of EMDR therapists at all levels of training and experience.
  1. To explore and support the current lived experiences, positive and negative, of EMDR Consultant.
  1. To assist EMDR Consultants as ambassadors of the EMDR psychotherapy model to further support clinicians to develop their skills and to work towards accreditation as accredited EMDR therapists.
  1. To review current EMDR Europe requirements for Practitioner and Consultant Accreditation.
  2. To provide a forum for discussion, concerns, enquiries relative to the role of EMDR Consultant.
  3. To provide support and guidance on addressing challenging issues that may arise during EMDR clinical Supervision.
