EMDR Focus is sister training company to Braynework Ltd, previously working closely with Dr Laurel Parnell, author of several books and highly respected trainer in what she describes as Attachment-Focused EMDR.
We’ve also worked in the past to support UK trainings with Dr Jim Knipe of EMDR Toolbox fame, and Dr Jamie Marich, author of EMDR Made Simple, is a close associate.
EMDR Focus is operated in tandem (excuse the literal pun…) by Mark and Jutta Brayne, from their home on the Norfolk Norfolk coast in the UK (though the photograph is of them cycling the Danube in 2018.)
