Advanced on-demand training refined through real-world delivery with EMDR therapists.
Perinatal EMDR Made Practical
Perinatal EMDR requires more than protocol knowledge. It requires clinical clarityin complexity — where attachment, physiology, trauma memory, and identity converge.
Does this sound familiar?
Many EMDR therapists feel confident with the protocol — until they begin working in high responsibility contexts, such as perinatal work.
Pregnancy, birth trauma, postpartum distress, attachment activation, and perinatal loss can shift EMDR from structured work into something that feels more complex, layered, and harder to clinically map.
In this space, therapists often find themselves:
over-stabilising and delaying processing
staying overly cognitive in formulation
uncertain about where to start
hesitant around target selection and sequencing
concerned about overwhelming the client
This is where EMDR can start to feel less linear — and more clinically uncertain.
Move from uncertainty to clarity in complex perinatal EMDR formulation, target selection, and treatment planning.
What You’ll Learn…
Rather than offering a broad overview of EMDR, this training focuses on the clinical realities of practice across pregnancy, birth, postpartum, fertility, perinatal loss, and early parenting.
Built from repeated live delivery with EMDR clinicians, this training focuses on real-world clinical decision-making; what to do, when to process and how to process.
Grounded in a Perinatal AIP framework, the training demonstrates practical application of EMDR across birth and medical trauma, postnatal depression, perinatal loss, and Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG).
Particular attention is given to the areas clinicians most often find challenging in practice, including target identification, sequencing, pacing, restricted processing, attachment-informed formulation, stabilisation, and phase-based clinical decision-making.
Designed for EMDR therapists seeking greater depth and clinical confidence, this training aims to make complex perinatal presentations feel more structured, coherent, and clinically workable in the therapy room.
A foundational understanding of EMDR is assumed. This training is designed to deepen clinical application and decision-making, not replace core EMDR training. This is not introductory EMDR. It is designed for therapists seeking greater confidence working with complex perinatal presentations.
Who’ll Benefit from this Training?
This training is designed to support clinicians moving through that uncertainty — toward clearer formulation, steadier decision-making, and more confident clinical direction in complex perinatal presentations.
You do not need to have all the answers — but you do need a framework that helps complexity become clinically meaningful.
Whether you are newer to perinatal work or already practising in this space, this training is designed to strengthen clarity, confidence, and treatment planning in real-world EMDR practice.
What changes after this training?
Clinicians often report that what shifts is not just knowledge — but how they think clinically in the room.

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.

Learn More About Angela
Accredited EMDR Practitioner | Perinatal Psychologist | Board-Approved Supervisor
I have nearly 20 years’ experience across the mental health sector, including more than 14 years as a psychologist.
My primary area of clinical interest is Perinatal EMDR, supporting clients through 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 and developmental trauma activated during the transition to parenthood
I am deeply passionate about EMDR and its application within perinatal mental health. I particularly enjoy helping therapists make sense of presentations that can feel complex, emotionally layered, and difficult to formulate.
Like many clinicians, I found the transition from EMDR training to confident clinical application challenging at times—especially when working with complex perinatal presentations, where multiple themes, experiences, and memory networks are often intertwined.
That experience has significantly shaped the way I teach.
My aim is to help EMDR therapists develop greater clinical clarity, confidence, and flexibility when working with the presentations that most commonly evoke uncertainty, hesitation, or questions about where to begin.
