Find the training that fits where you are
Every trauma and EMDR training we run is listed here with its prerequisites stated plainly, so you can rule things in or out for yourself. Which ones are open to you usually comes down to whether you have completed an EMDRIA-approved Basic Training, and that is how the groups below are arranged.
EMDRIA
Approved Provider
Not sure which one fits?
Mostly it depends on what you have already trained in, and partly on how you would rather learn. Four ways in, and where each one leads.
If you are new to trauma work
No EMDR training needed. These are open to any clinical role, and they are the usual place to begin.
Trauma-Informed Trainings →If you are ready to train in EMDR
The six-day EMDRIA-approved Basic Training, which is what qualifies you to use EMDR with clients and what the advanced trainings build on.
EMDR Basic Training →If you are already EMDR trained
These build on an EMDRIA-approved Basic Training you have already completed. It does not have to have been ours.
EMDR Advanced Trainings →If you want training for your staff
Written for intake and front desk teams rather than for clinicians, so nobody needs a clinical background to take it.
Training for Your Staff →
EMDR Basic Training
Six days of training with hands-on practice and ten hours of group consultation. It is the EMDRIA-approved program that qualifies you to use EMDR with clients, and it is the prerequisite behind every advanced training further down this page.
Offered live virtual. A master's degree in a mental health field is required.
See dates and detailsOpen to anyone working with trauma
No EMDR training required. These are open to anyone who wants to work more skilfully with trauma, whatever your role and whatever modality you practise.

Self-paced video training
Complex Trauma & Dissociation

Self-paced video training
BPD Through a Trauma Lens
with Jamie Sedgwick, LCPC, NCC
Borderline Personality Disorder Through A Trauma Lens
Borderline Personality Disorder read as complex trauma: early attachment, how the wounding shows up in the room, and relational interventions that help rather than retraumatize. No EMDR training required.
For clinicians already trained in EMDR
Each of these asks that you have completed an EMDRIA-approved Basic Training. It does not have to have been ours. All are live virtual.

Training for your staff
For the people who answer the phone and greet clients at the door. No clinical background needed, and no EMDR training either.
After a training
Three ways people keep working with us once a training has finished. None of them are trainings, so they sit apart from the list above.
EMDR Consultation
Individual and group sessions with EMDRIA-Approved Consultants and Consultants-In-Training, whether you are working toward certification or want a case looked at.
EMDR Circle Membership
Ongoing support and community for clinicians who want to keep practising alongside other people doing the same work.
CIT Track
The consultant-in-training path for EMDRIA-certified clinicians working toward Approved Consultant status.
Two other ways to see the same list
If you would rather work from dates than from categories, the calendar has every scheduled training in date order. And if you are not sure which one fits, we would be glad to talk it through with you. There is no obligation attached to asking.
