Perinatal EMDR Training and Consultation

Want to stop guessing yourself in perinatal EMDR ?

Working with perinatal clients can feel a little different; more complexity, more to hold, and not always clear what the next step is

This isn’t about applying EMDR differently; it’s about thinking differently when the context is perinatal

  • On Demand Training: Perinatal EMDR Made Practical

    Perinatal EMDR Made Practical:

    On-Demand Advanced Training for EMDR Therapists

    Rather than focusing on protocol delivery alone, this training explores how to think clinically in perinatal EMDR work — including formulation, target selection, attachment considerations, perinatal nuances, nervous system regulation, pacing, and phase-based decision-making.

    Grounded in a Perinatal AIP lens, the training applies EMDR across complex perinatal presentations including birth trauma, medical trauma, postnatal depression, perinatal loss and Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG)

    Refined through repeated live delivery, this training has evolved in response to the real clinical questions therapists face in perinatal EMDR practice.

    Why This Matters

    In perinatal work, uncertainty is rarely about knowing the protocol.

    It is more often about:

    • not knowing where to start

    • worrying about overwhelming the client

    • becoming overly cautious

    • or getting lost in the complexity of formulation and multiple memory networks

    This training is designed to help you feel more clinically clear, grounded, and confident in the therapy room.

    In This Training, You Will Learn How To:

    • Identify meaningful starting points in complex perinatal presentations

    • Formulate and apply EMDR across birth trauma, medical trauma, postnatal depression, perinatal loss, and HG presentations

    • Make more confident EMDR decisions during pregnancy and postpartum work

    • Move beyond over-caution, over-stabilising, and hesitation in perinatal EMDR practice

    • think more confidently through pacing, target selection, and when to appropriately restrict processing

    Large Group Perinatal EMDR Consultation

    A relaxed and supportive space to slow things down, reflect, and think more deeply about perinatal EMDR practice alongside other clinicians.

    These no-fee peer consultation groups provide an opportunity to discuss all things perinatal EMDR — including case conceptualisation, treatment planning, target selection, clinical questions, and the challenges that can emerge in perinatal presentations. Each session is shaped by the needs and discussions of the group.

    This space is designed for therapists seeking greater clarity, confidence, and reflection in their EMDR work — particularly when presentations feel layered, nuanced, or difficult to map.

    This may be a good fit if you:

    • Are interested in EMDR within perinatal presentations
    • Value grounded, reflective clinical discussion
    • Sometimes feel stuck, overly cautious, or unsure where to begin
    • Appreciate collaborative thinking and shared professional reflection

    What to expect:

    • A welcoming and thoughtfully facilitated group space
    • Collaborative discussion grounded in EMDR practice
    • Shared reflection to support formulation, target selection, and clinical clarity
    • Space to thoughtfully explore challenges arising in EMDR work

    Participants are welcome to bring a case, clinical question, or theme they would like space to think through.

    Please note: This group is not eligible for EMDRAA accreditation or basic training consultation hours, but may contribute to peer consultation and continuing professional development.
