Our purpose

Welcome to the page of the Near West Regional EMDR group.  Our purpose is to inform, educate and support EMDR therapists in Bristol and the surrounding counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon, though this does not exclude others from farther afield.  The only requirement to join this regional group is to be a member of the UK and Ireland EMDR Association.  If you wish to join and be on our mailing list, please contact us at nearwestemdr@gmail.com, including whether you offer EMDR supervision, and your approximate location.

The regional group usually meets twice a year and coincides with a training event, for which CPD points are usually awarded.

The committee is composed of volunteers and will be formally voted in at the October 2018 AGM.
