EMDR Case Consultation

Case Consultation focuses on developing mastery of EMDR therapy and integrating EMDR into one’s clinical practice. Contrasted with supervision, the practitioner remains responsible for the therapeutic relationship and the competency in the therapy they provide – one of the reasons that EMDR is considered an advanced psychotherapy.

Case Consultation is arranged directly with case consultants and you will be directed to a list of possible consultants.

Please note: Supervision is also available but cannot be counted as case consultation hours. Please email to discuss this.

Case consultation can take place in person in Lake Macquarie or online. Individual and Group case consultation is available.

Some groups like to develop a closed regular group with colleagues, people they trained with or with people who have contacted me looking for the same option. Get in touch for more information or to discuss your needs.

For participants who need the 5 hours of case consultation following part 1 or part 2 of EMDR Basic Training, specific groups of up to 10 may be offered in either 1 x 5 hour group, or 2 x 2.5 hour groups where each person has a minimum of 30 minutes to present and get feedback.
