Supervision for trauma psychotherapists and EMDR consultation, trainings.
I offer supervision for trauma psychotherapists and EMDR practicioners. Individual and group supervision is available for psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, crisis workers, volunteer helpers and professional helpers. You may choose both regularly scheduled supervison or one-time consultation visits. You can ask for an offer for the kind of supervision you need.
I also offer client case consultation, help you to keep up with recent trauma treatment methods and develop your treatment methods, and assist you in evaluating treatment needs. My objective here is professional development and management of work-related stress as well as the reinforcement of your professional identity as a psychotherapist. I am also an expert on body-centered approaches (e.g. sensorimotor psychotherapy) and the use of EMDR as a part of psychotherapeutic treatment or crisis work. Prevention of vicarious traumatization is another field I work in.
I offer Consultation required for EMDR certification in accordance with EMDR Finland and EMDR Europe certification guidelines and standards. Recommendations for certification as an EMDR therapist. For more information on certification requirements, visit www.emdr.fi and www.emdr-europe.org
EMDR Level I and Level II consultations (the EMDR instute requires a total of 10 hours of consultation from a certifed consultant during the basic training). I am also certified to work as a facilitator at EMDR trainings.
