WELCOME TO THE  BASIC TRAINING
IN EMDR THERAPY
IN AOTEAROA NEW ZELAND  

Training in EMDR Therapy

The 2-Part EMDR therapy Basic training is where you begin to learn and master this unique and powerful psychotherapy. Training in EMDR therapy is an experiential process, in which lectures, video-taped segments of EMDR Therapy sessions and participants’ own supervised practice as both therapists and clients throughout the training, are designed to give you a comprehensive and first-hand understanding of this approach. During the course of the Part 1 and Part 2 Basic training courses participants learn a broad range of EMDR therapy applications to enable them to begin to use EMDR Therapy immediately after the training with different clients and issues.

 

Accredited Training

Dr Tal Moore is an accredited Trainer with the international EMDR Institute as well as with the national EMDR NZ Asssociation.

As an accredited Trainer with the EMDR NZ Association, participants on Tal's Basic Training will be able to pursue their own accreditation with the EMDR NZ Association (see https://www.emdr.org.nz).

As an accredited trainer with the international EMDR Institute, Tal's training courses are those developed by the Founder of EMDR Therapy Dr Francine Shapiro and her successors (see www.emdr.com). The EMDR Institute training curriculum is regularly updated and expanded to reflect the most up-to-date knowledge and research findings on EMDR Therapy.

Tal is passionate about teaching EMDR therapy and bringing it to life in her Basic Training courses. Tal and her team of facilitators work closely with course participants to enhance their learning. Our aim is for participants to leave the training with confidence and a clear understanding of what we do in EMDR therapy, how we do it, and why.

Entry criteria 

The eligibility criteria for attending the EMDR therapy training are outlined by the NZ EMDR Association here https://www.emdr.org.nz/training-eligibility . If you are unsure whether your professional training meets these requirements, do get in touch with the details of your professional registration and CV to inquire.

​

Attendance

Part 1 and Part 2 of the Basic EMDR Training are 3 days each, starting at 8:30am and finishing at 17:00. Whilst we endeavour to complete each day on time, it is possible that practicums or demonstrations may take longer than anticipated, hence finishing the day later. Participants must be present during all lectures, videos and demonstrations. Attendance certificates cannot be issued if these requirements are not met. Any travel, childcare commitments, work related calls, etc. should not take place during training times. If you are unable to commit to the full 3 days of the training then it is probably best not to pursue registration at this time.
