ACCREDITED EMDR TRAINING (Parts 1 & 2)                                                                         

Hands-on accredited clinical skills training for learning EMDR and integrating it with your own psychotherapy approach.

EMDR is an advanced psychotherapy requiring a high level of skill. A mental health clinical background is an essential prerequisite for the effective application of EMDR treatment. All training providers will also expect you to provide evidence that you are accredited with one of the professional associations deemed acceptable by EMDR Europe.

Dr Saleem Tareen is an Accredited Trainer and Accredited Consultant in EMDR. His accredited training is fully approved by EMDR-Europe Association (EMDR-E). Saleem was trained in the early 2000’s and has used EMDR within his own practice for over 15 years. For the last 9 years he is a Consultant Psychiatrist in the NHS and has a specialised EMDR clinic. He has successfully coordinated EMDR training internationally with Dr Derek Farrell.

Saleem conducts small interactive EMDR trainings with a maximum of 24 participants. The programme includes Part 1 training (3 days) plus 1 Supervisory Day and Part 2 training (3 days). It offers the complete standard EMDR training as defined by the EMDR Europe Association with some additional protocols included in Part 2 training.

Training is made up of 2 parts. Part 1 prepares clinicians to deal with cases presenting with simple or single incident traumas, as well as clients with self-limiting belief systems. Following attendance a supervision day, where clinicians refresh the skills learned at Part 1 plus receive consultation on cases, they are permitted to progress to the Part 2 training.

Experience has shown that participants find the interactive and dynamic nature of Supervision vital in helping them consolidate their training and use of EMDR Therapy to date. At the Part 2 training, clinicians learn how to work with multiple traumas, or ‘complex’ trauma such as child sexual abuse. Skills in how to work with ‘special’ populations are also introduced.

Training will take place over several dates as follows:

The total cost of the course is £1050. However, parts can be paid separately. When completing your booking form, you will have the option to pay individually or in full.
