EMDR Accreditation
Are you considering EMDR accreditation?
I enjoy supporting EMDR therapists to complete the EMDRAA accreditation process. I offer tailored support through individual and group accreditation-focused consultation. My sessions demystify the process and simplify the journey towards becoming an Accredited EMDR Practitioner or Consultant.
Accreditation not only enhances your professional credentials but also provides a structured learning experience to enhance your EMDR knowledge, skills and confidence as an EMDR therapist. If you’d keen to become a highly proficient EMDR therapist, accreditation is a great goal to pursue.
The first accreditation credential is becoming an ‘Accredited EMDR Practitioner’. This status is awarded to EMDR therapists who have been assessed by an Accredited EMDR Consultant as being competent in the in 8 phases of the EMDR standard protocol.
