What to bear in mind when looking for an EMDR therapist?.

It is prudent to clarify with your EMDR therapist that they have completed an accredited EMDR training course and that they are legitimate mental health professionals, belonging to a professional body. It is also important that your EMDR therapist is being professionally supervised by another fully trained accredited EMDR Consultant.

This kind of consultation between professionals is a standard requirement in all areas of psychology, mental health and medicine.

EMDR is a powerful therapy for which you should be carefully prepared by a therapist with whom you feel you have established a rapport and trust.
