On-Demand Clinical Masterclass
EMDR for Perinatal Presentations: A Practical Clinical Framework
What Clinicians Are Saying…
“I really valued the opportunity to attend your perinatal EMDR masterclass. The online format made the training accessible within the realities of running a clinical practice, and I appreciated how thoughtfully the workshop was structured. As a clinician working in the perinatal space, I found the content both validating and enriching. The way you highlighted the complexity and sensitivity of this stage of life, while offering practical clinical insights, has meaningfully strengthened my confidence in applying EMDR with this population. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful and engaging learning environment — it was a genuinely valuable experience for my ongoing professional development and reflective practice”. A, Registered Clinical Counsellor.
"The masterclass was a great opportunity to connect with others and to gain further expertise in EMDR. Angela has a kind, patient and knowledgeable approach, she is passionate about perinatal EMDR and sharing her expertise with others. The group was well structured with adequate time for discussion and reflection making for an engaging and meaningful experience” – J, Psychologist.
A self-paced training designed to help EMDR therapists feel more clear, confident, and grounded when working with complex perinatal presentations.
This on-demand clinical masterclass is designed to help EMDR therapists feel more clear, confident, and grounded when working with complex perinatal presentations.
Rather than focusing on protocol delivery alone, this training explores how to think clinically in perinatal EMDR work — including formulation, target selection, pacing, stabilisation, attachment activation, and phase-based decision-making.
Together, we make sense of the presentations that often leave therapists feeling hesitant, overly cautious, or unsure where to begin.
This Training Is For Clinicians Who:
feel confident with EMDR generally, but less certain in perinatal work
work with pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, loss, or early parenting presentations
struggle to know where to start in complex cases
want greater confidence moving from stabilisation into processing
are seeking a more practical, formulation-focused framework for perinatal EMDR
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
formulate complex perinatal presentations through an AIP-informed EMDR lens
identify and prioritise clinically meaningful EMDR targets
make more confident, phase-based EMDR decisions informed by attachment and nervous system regulation
adapt EMDR interventions safely and effectively for pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting work
A foundational understanding of EMDR is assumed. This training is designed to deepen clinical application, not replace core EMDR training.
Why Clinicians Are Seeking This Training
Many EMDR therapists feel confident with the protocol — until they begin working with pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum distress, attachment activation, or perinatal loss. The work can suddenly feel higher stakes, emotionally layered, and difficult to map.
Therapists often find themselves:
over-stabilising
staying cognitive
delaying processing
struggling to know where to start
or worrying about overwhelming the client
This training is designed to help you feel more clinically clear, grounded, and confident in the perinatal presentations that tend to create hesitation.
You do not need to have all the answers.
But you do need a framework that helps the complexity make sense.

Learn More About Angela
Accredited EMDR Practitioner | Perinatal Psychologist | Board-Approved Supervisor
I have nearly 20 years’ experience across the mental health sector, including over 14 years as a psychologist.
My area of clinical interest is Perinatal EMDR — supporting clients across fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, loss, and early parenting experiences, particularly where trauma, attachment, identity, and nervous system overwhelm intersect.
I work extensively with:
birth and medical trauma
fertility and reproductive distress
miscarriage and perinatal loss
postpartum depression and anxiety
complex trauma activated in parenthood
I am deeply passionate about EMDR and its application within perinatal work, and I especially love helping therapists make sense of presentations that can otherwise feel overwhelming, emotionally layered, or difficult to map.
Truthfully, I found integrating EMDR into practice overwhelming at times too — particularly in complex perinatal work where the stakes can feel high and the case map can quickly become enormous.
That experience now strongly informs how I teach.
My goal is to help EMDR therapists feel more clinically clear, grounded, and confident in the presentations that often create hesitation, over-caution, or uncertainty.
