Get accredited as Practitioner

In order to be eligible to participate in an EMDR Europe accredited EMDR training course, trainees must hold an up-to-date license or registration to provide psychotherapeutic services in their own country. In addition, the trainee must meet the minimum criteria for training set out by the National EMDR Association of the country where the colleague is working. The national EMDR Association must be contacted in order to determine whether or not a professional is eligible.

If colleagues want to have an EMDR Europe training in another country than where they work or live, this is possible. They will simply need the approval of the EMDR National Association of the country where they practice psychotherapy, so that their eligibility criteria are being checked.

The training takes place over a minimum total of 6 days. The format of the training will be in two, three or four parts, depending on the trainers. This is made of:

1. Two, three or four parts of teaching which also include practical exercises.
2. Supervision in between the different parts of the training.

After the last part of the standard training, the colleagues are encouraged to continue consultations/supervisions with an EMDR Europe accredited consultant who will guide them in the accreditation process as EMDR Europe Practitioner. The EMDR trained therapist will be required to show their clinical work in EMDR therapy, mainly with videos, to the consultant. When the EMDR Europe consultant has validated all requirements, she/he fills in the Competency framework and presents it to the supervisee.
