Post Part 1 and Part 2 (W/E 1 & 2) Case Consultation

3. Group Case Consultation Dates

1. Introduction

An integral component of the EMDR Institute Basic Training is the follow-up Case Consultation with any Institute Accredited Case Consultant/facilitator. In New Zealand, if you have completed your Institute training with a trainer other than Tom Flewett, you can still get your case consultation with any of the Accredited Case Consultants/facilitators. A minimum of 5 hours is required after each workshop, both to help consolidate your understanding of what was taught in the workshop and to give you more confidence as you begin to use EMDR therapy with your clients; or after Part 2, as you begin to use it with more complex presentations.

In addition, after Part 1 and again after Part 2, it is recommended you have at least 30-35 hours of experience using EMDR therapy with clients.

Keeping a record as you progress through the Basic Training: 

There are 2 forms that need to be completed:  An Evaluation and Consultation Sign-off Form and a Log Form for hours of EMDR therapy  undertaken. You will be given a hard copy of both of these forms at your training and also receive electronic copies 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after your training. If you lose these, just send us an email to training@emdr.nz and we'll send you some more. 

Instructions for Log and Case Consultation Forms

It is your responsibility to ensure these forms are completed, scanned and emailed back to EMDR Training New Zealand, Gweebarra Health Limited at:  training@emdr.nz

Evaluation and Consultation Sign-off Form

This form is completed in collaboration with your Case Consultant (or consultants, if you have used more than one).

Once completed and signed by both of you, please scan and email the form and your log back to training@emdr.nz . This enables us to keep records for New Zealand.

(If you have done your Part 2 with someone other than Dr Tom Flewett, we will forward the forms on to that trainer and they will arrange to have your Certificate of Completion of Basic Training sent to you.)

If your consultation was conducted through Skype, please fill in the dates and times of consultation as you go to keep a record, and after the final session, scan and send it to your consultant who can sign all sessions in one go, and then scan and return it to you.

Log Form

Keep a log of your hours: a short note of date, time spent (phases 1-8), and content of the session. This form will help you keep track as you work towards your 30-35 hours.

2. Case Consultants in New Zealand

Organising your Case Consultation

There are 5 EMDR Institute accredited case consultants (who are also facilitators) in New Zealand including Tom who is also an EMDR Institute Trainer. Their contact details are below and on the EMDR Association of NZ website www.emdr.org.nz .  

Dates and venues for group sessions are advertised and updated regularly, and all consultants also do individual and Skype sessions. You can also use accredited overseas EMDR Institute Consultants.

Group sessions are economical and can provide exposure to a variety of cases and scenarios. Group case consultation over 1 day fulfils the requirements for your 5 hours.  Individual sessions, whether face to face or via Skype, focus more specifically on your personal requirements and level of experience.

If you have undertaken Institute based training, you may of course get your case consultation from Institute Accredited consultants anywhere in the world. In the past, some New Zealanders have taken advantage of this and have had Skype case consultation from consultants in Australia and the USA.

3. Group Case Consultation Dates and Venues being offered.  These dates are advertised on behalf of the case consultants. Dates are current at the time of posting. Groups will only take place if there are sufficient numbers to make them viable. Please contact the consultant individually to express interest and to confirm that the group is taking place.
