EMDR Refresh & Master Membership

We know that the standard EMDR training contains a vast amount of information, delivered over an intense and highly focused period. It is unrealistic to expect anyone to absorb all this rich material at once and feel fully confident that they have understood and integrated every element.

 

In addition to providing both physical and electronic manuals, we offer all our training delegates one year of free access to our EMDR Refresh and Master Membership area, which contains a wide range of resources designed to support your developing skills in EMDR.

A New Local Pathway for Child & Adolescent EMDR Training

Alice Vine at The Purple House Clinic is collaborating with Dr Button EMDR Training to strengthen access to expert EMDR Europe Accredited Child and Adolescent training in the Southwest and Bristol, while creating a more supportive and connected training pathway for delegates.

 

Currently, there are no EMDR Europe Accredited Child and Adolescent trainers based in the Southwest, meaning therapists wishing to specialise in working with children and adolescents often have to complete training online or travel long distances to access face-to-face training.

“At Dr Button EMDR Training, my mission is to provide mental health professionals with the knowledge and skills to harness the transformative power of EMDR therapy. Together, we can change lives—one step, one session, one breakthrough at a time.”

EMDR Europe Approved Accredited Consultant 

EMDR: THE BASICS – EMDR is best known for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and it can also help with a range of mental health conditions in people of all ages…

I’ve just completed Part 2 of my EMDR training with Alex. Part 1 was face to-face, so I was a little concerned about spending a full day online, but I needn’t have worried. The training was engaging, well-paced, and very well presented throughout. Alex is a wonderful trainer and teacher who explains things in such a relatable, real-world way, making complex concepts easy to understand and apply in practice. I came away feeling inspired, more confident, and genuinely excited to continue learning. I’m already looking forward to Part 3!

As a BACP Accredited therapist, it was really important to me to find an Accredited place of learning that aligned with my relational way of working. I found the In-person delivery of the course met well with my learning preferences and exceeded my expectations. It was apparent that Alex and the team have robust and diverse experience and knowledge and were very approachable in times of any uncertainty I may have had. I have completed Part 3 of my training, and have left feeling held and very well resourced.

Dr Button is an experienced, skillful and well respected trainer with a keen ability to translate complex ideas into easily understandable language. I found her refresher training day on EMDR extremely thorough, with flexibility to the group needs and compassionate support and encouragement throughout. I highly recommend her services.

Alex delivers informative and well presented presentations. Part 1 of the course was interactive and engaging with Alex taking time to answer any questions and explaining things clearly. The course contained a good balance of teaching, demonstrating and practice opportunities. Alex has a great approach to presentation and has put a great deal of thought into what works and doesn't work on training seminars. We were each provided with a course book which was clear and easy to follow with useful links, resources and references. I came away from this 3 day course feeling sufficiently informed and confident enough to begin to use the techniques I learned on the course.

I attended a workshop that Dr Button help on working with Complex PTSD and and PTSD using EMDR and I found it really informative and has been hugely helpful in my client work. She is a very patient, helpful, and clear communicator and is very enthusiastic about EMDR.
