Our Purpose
Welcome to the home 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, including whether you offer EMDR supervision and your approximate location.
This website is primarily to help regional group members and contains information about past and forthcoming training events, a members area including a forum to discuss relevant topics, and helpful links for sharing knowledge about EMDR.
The regional group usually meets twice a year and coincides with a training event, for which CPD points are usually awarded. Please check out our events page.
The committee is composed of volunteers and if you would like to get involved, please Email Us
We hope you find this website useful, and are always open to suggestions for improvement – either for the website, or the regional group
