EMDR Group Consultation
Looking to grow in your EMDR practice? Join our anti-oppressive EMDR group consultations! We bring a de-colonial, and identity-affirming approach to each session, where we honour diverse experiences and perspectives. We offer separate groups for those new/ish to EMDR and for therapists on the path to accreditation, creating supportive space to build confidence and skills.
What is EMDR Group Consultation?
EMDR group consultation is a supportive space where clinicians come together to boost their skills, gain confidence, and share insights. Guided by an experienced consultant, these sessions are perfect for those new to EMDR as well as those working toward accreditation. It’s a chance to collaborate with peers, discuss real-world challenges, and explore fresh treatment approaches in a welcoming, professional setting. Group consultations foster a sense of community, offering valuable networks and shared expertise to help you grow and feel supported in your EMDR journey.
Why should new or newish EMDR practitioners attend?
If you’re new or still settling into EMDR, joining a group consultation can make all the difference in building confidence, sharpening your skills, and feeling connected. Here’s why attending a group consultation with me might be the perfect fit for your journey:
-
Supportive, Anti-Oppressive Environment: We prioritise creating a space that respects and values diverse experiences, where people can learn to feel safe to learn and grow without judgment. Our approach is rooted in anti-oppressive, identity-affirming principles, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
-
Practical Skill-Building: In each session, we dive into the practical aspects of EMDR, from case discussions to technique refinement. You’ll gain hands-on insights that make applying EMDR in real-world settings easier and more effective.
-
Collaborative Problem-Solving: Working with peers, you get to tackle common challenges together and learn from different perspectives. This allows you to broaden your approach and inspire new ways to address participant needs.
-
Guidance on Early Career Questions: As a new or newish EMDR clinician, you might have questions that feel small or silly but are crucial for your development. Safe groups can be a space to ask them, share your experiences, and receive feedback.
-
Preparation for Accreditation: If you’re looking to work toward EMDR accreditation, we can guide you through the necessary steps, helping you stay on track and feel prepared for the process.
-
Connection to a Like-Minded Community: Building a network of supportive peers is invaluable for any clinician. Group sessions allow you to connect with others on similar paths, and build a sense of belonging and ongoing support.
Joining a consultation group with me means stepping into a community dedicated to growth, understanding, and professional development. It’s a powerful way to feel more confident, informed, and connected in your EMDR journey.
What about for EMDR therapists going for accreditation?
If you’re working toward EMDR accreditation, group consultation provides essential support to build confidence, refine skills, and prepare for the accreditation process. Here’s why group consultation is a valuable part of your journey:
Focused Guidance for Accreditation: Group consultation provides structured support and insights to help you meet accreditation requirements and deepen your EMDR practice.
Advanced Skill Development: As you progress, group consultation helps you expand your toolkit with advanced techniques and practical approaches to manage complex cases.
Support for Challenging Cases: Group sessions offer a supportive environment to discuss and work through real-world challenges with peers and gain feedback to inform your approach.
Collaborative Learning: Group consultation allows you to learn from others’ experiences, see diverse perspectives, and collaborate on best practices, enhancing your EMDR effectiveness.
Reflective Practice and Feedback: Guided by a consultant, group consultation provides constructive feedback, encouraging you to reflect on your techniques and strengthen your clinical skills.
Community and Networking: Connect with like-minded EMDR clinicians on the same path, creating a network of support and shared learning that continues long after consultation.
Joining EMDR group consultation sessions gives you a space to grow, connect, and get the focused guidance needed to move confidently toward accreditation and a more advanced practice.
