EMDR Consultation
EMDR consultation to help you give your clients the results they've read about.
I've made all the EMDR mistakes so you don't have to.
Whether you're stuck on stuck processing, tangled in treatment planning, or wanting to sharpen your skills with complex presentations. EMDR consultation with me is practical, direct, and grounded in the evidence.
Why therapists seek EMDR consultation
✔︎ You're enthusiastic about EMDR, and want to do the best for your clients, but they keep presenting with difficulties that don't fit our textbook ideas of trauma and you're unsure how to plan and structure your work.
✔︎ You're running into the same problems repeatedly with complex clients and you can't work out whether the issue is the client, the protocol, or something in your formulation.
✔︎ You're trying to integrate parts approaches or other therapies into your EMDR treatment and it's getting complicated. Worth knowing: EMDR is a robust therapy. With solid fidelity you'll need other approaches much less than you think.
✔︎ You're working toward accreditation as an EMDR practitioner or consultant and you want to complete that process knowing your stuff -- not just ticking boxes.
Are you noticing, or getting stuck in something else?
For EMDR to work, clients need to stay in observer mode. When dual awareness drops out, processing stalls. As clinicians, we need to recognise when someone has lost that observer stance so we can help them get back on track.
This guide is a practical tool for spotting when noticing has dropped out during processing. Use it to name what's happening when things feel off so you can get things moving again.
What EMDR consultation with me looks like in practice
✔︎ Professional guidance that is evidence-based and consistent with contemporary understandings of trauma, EMDR and what works.
✔︎ A strong faith in the standard protocol. My passion is in applying it well with complex presentations, not abandoning it for something shinier. The cases that feel complicated often become simpler when the formulation is solid and the fidelity is there.
✔︎ Skilled guidance in using EMDR effectively with complex cases (without needing to learn entire other therapies, nor throw the kitchen sink at them).
✔︎ Direct, honest feedback. I'll tell you what I think and challenge your formulation when it needs it.
✔︎ If you are seeking EMDR consultation for purposes of accreditation as a practitioner or consultant, you'll complete that process with confidence, really knowing your stuff.
