Specialist Certificate in Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
This specialist certificate course is designed to equip medical and mental health professionals with the specialised expertise needed to effectively utilise Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) in addressing psychological trauma.
Grounded in evidence-based practices, this course delves into the principles and application of EMDR therapy, providing participants with the tools to support patients in processing traumatic memories and reducing distress associated with past experiences.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises EMDR as an effective treatment for trauma and stress-related disorders, further validating its importance in clinical practice. By integrating WHO-endorsed methodologies, this programme ensures participants are trained in globally recognised standards of care.
By combining theoretical foundations with hands-on practice, the programme enables professionals to facilitate meaningful healing and foster resilience in individuals dealing with trauma-related challenges.
