Participant feedback

“This is the most stimulating training I have experienced for years, on both theoretical and experiential levels. Richard and Marian manage to create a safe learning environment in which trainees can try out new skills prior to using them with clients.  Having only completed the training in September 2010, I have found that several clients respond extremely well to EMDR even some people suffering from long term and complex trauma.  I've already recommended the training to several of my more experienced supervisees who work with traumatised people.”

- Professor Kim Etherington

“My thanks to (the EMDR Works team) for the outstanding training they provided. Richard has the ability to describe highly complex concepts in a way that inspires the trainee, often using humour or answering with another question to bring about understanding. He is remarkably patient and is clearly someone who continues to be fascinated himself by the healing phenomenon and processes of EMDR. I really enjoyed the training and would definitely recommend it to fellow psychotherapists. EMDR is a powerful therapeutic intervention. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to take part in this training.”

- Rosemary Kingham- Langton, Psychotherapist

"Training to be a safe and confident EMDR Therapist, well versed in the theory and comfortably experienced in the practice of this amazingly effective therapeutic tool is a very important thing to get right.  Richard Mitchell gets it exactly right!  He is the best trainer I have had in any aspect of my ten years of professional training and continuing professional development.  Knowledgeable, friendly, humorous, encouraging and passionate about EMDR, he ensured I learned about all eight important EMDR phases and the varying EMDR protocols to apply for different types of clients...  ..... so that (my clients) now get enduring relief from the disturbing nature of the traumatic memories, sometimes decades old, that have blighted their lives and ruined their relationships."
