EMDR Academy — Psychotherapist in London, England

Fantastic facilitators who were passionate about EMDR, they were not only well informed but they could relate any questions to real client experience, they made learning fun, interesting and engaging. There was alot to take in but the course material ensured nothing was missed and the literature was easy to refer back to when needed. I initially enrolled on the first half of the course but soon decided I wanted to complete the full programme. I have recommended the course to fellow counsellors

I completed my accredited EMDR training in December 2024 with the EMDR Academy and my experience was amazing from start to finish. I would hugely recommend the in-person delivery, (London; Roehampton) due to the intensity of the training. The manuals and content are high quality the days followed a smooth and common-sense structure and we have continued access to a learning portal with an abundance of resources to use with clients. My experience learning from Matt Wesson and the team was rich, insightful and engaging. All of the facilitators were knowledgeable and I greatly appreciated opportunities to apply theory to practice through observation of skills practice and supervision with Yvonne Fewtrell, Deborah Fish and Oenone Dudley. Thank you so much and all the best to everyone in the team!

This year, I had the privilege of attending and completing an EMDR training in London, and I’m beyond grateful for the experience. The training has expanded my skill set and knowledge but also deepened the impact I can have on the people I work with. The trainers were supportive, knowledgeable, and approachable, they created a learning environment that was both encouraging and engaging. I also had the privilege of connecting with amazing mental health professionals from all over the country, which provided valuable networking opportunities. The venue was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly helpful in coordinating all the details which allowed my participation to feel seamless and stress-free. Thanks to this training, I now feel confident in my ability to incorporate EMDR into my practice, offering even more effective support for my clients. If you’re considering this training and want to add an evidence based treatment model to your practice for working with trauma, I highly recommend it—it's been a wonderful experience and I am so glad I did it!

I completed part 1 of the EMDR Academy’s EMDR training and I am booked for parts 2-4 also. I loved it. I feel it has been one of the best training experiences I have had. The training was conducted in a very professional manner while also feeling very personal at the same time. The mix of delegate/client/therapist elements of the course was really helpful and conducive to adding to my understanding of each of the stages of EMDR, while also giving that “lived experience” which I feel enhances my empathy for clients as they go through their own experience. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to venture into the wonderful world of trauma processing!

I shopped around for a while before deciding to do the training with the EMDR Academy and I'm so glad I did. The tutors were so supportive; professionally, practically and emotionally, and the manuals are very well laid out and easy to refer back to. I felt the tutors prepared me well for the course and also for working with clients right from the beginning. The training is very thorough and presented in a way that is easy to grasp. The tutors are very approachable, personable and supportive which was the glue to my enjoyment of my experience with the EMDR Academy.

EMDR Academy course is well designed and delivered exceptionally well by Matt Wesson. The course is very well structured, the material is presented in an accessible way and can be put in practice immediately. Matt is a very talented trainer who teaches with competence, confidence, humour and humility. His use of personal clinical examples with explanations and prompts, made the material come alive for me and the practice sessions provided much needed experiential learning and skills development (having worked through some of my own material when I was a ‘client’ during the practice sessions was a welcome bonus). I feel I benefited tremendously from being on this course and am now fully planning to become an accredited EMDR practitioner. The course instilled both confidence and desire in me to go and use EMDR with my clients. And I know that I will be dipping into a super useful course handout folder in the months to come. If you are looking for an EMDR training course, look no further. EMDR Academy does an excellent job. I have been on great many trainings and this one comes up on top. Huge thank you to Matt and all facilitators for passing your knowledge of this powerful and unique method.

Supportive and professional training delivered by people who have deep and wide knowledge of EMDR and have many years of experience in practice. My training was a significant personal investment but I don't have any regrets about making that choice. I would not hesitate to recommend EMDR Academy to anyone looking for excellent professional EMDR training.

This was one of the best trainings I have been on for quite some time. It was professional as well as passionate. As a trainer myself, I appreciated the amount of thought and planning that had gone into making an online training feel engaging and experiential. It must have been tough to sort out all the breakout rooms during the third day of skills practice. The amount of support was very much appreciated. I have already worked with 2 clients on preparation and safe space, which was awesome!

The EMDR academy 8 day course led by Matthew is absolutely excellent and has completely transformed my clinical practice. It is by far the best short course that I have experienced during my long career. The teachers were so experienced and willing to share their wealth of expertise. They were really friendly and encouraged questions throughout the teaching. Money well spent and I cannot thank you enough.

I have just completed the EMDR part 1-4 with the EMDR Academy, the training was excellent. I was a bit concerned prior to the training that it was all to be completed online, however none of those concerns were valid, in fact my experience of online learning for this particular course exceeded my expectations. The trainer Matt is very professional and has extensive knowledge of EMDR and this came through the online teaching. The breakout practical sessions were excellent and well supported by Matt's team. Due to learning online and being in the comfort of my own home the opportunity to process the in depth information and learning came into its own during the breaks throughout the day. I would highly recommend EMDR Academy when accessing this very accessible and powerful modality.
