Two-day Advanced Attachment-Focused EMDR workshops


After an exciting and inspiring year with Laurel Parnell's and my own Attachment-Focused workshops in the UK, and with a waiting list of more than 120 (!) for Laurel's next three-day advanced AF-EMDR training in London in September, I'm delighted to let you know that we have:

two new two-day Advanced Attachment-Focused EMDR workshops coming up, d at a new venue in London, the Wesleyan Chapel, next January.


As an enthusiast for the this way of working with EMDR, you'll be very welcome to join us yourself (possibly again, of course), and please especially also do spread the word to colleagues of these dates.

 This workshop is built around teaching, discussion, a live demonstration of Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) in action, and - unique (I think) to post-basic EMDR training in the UK - full supervised practicums as both therapist and client.


Feedback from the Release the Magic workshops so far has been very positive - indeed (though of course with at times useful criticisms) - and almost embarrassingly so:

  • Mark is the best trainer I have come across. He exudes expertise, is engaging, compassionate – and I would even use the word “gifted”- at what he does. For me, EMDR has come to life!

  • One of the best courses I have ever attended. Thanks to all of the facilitators for, not only their knowledge and experience, but for creating such a safe and supportive space for us to practise in.

  • One of the best trainings I’ve been on for years. I actually learned new ideas for therapy as opposed to familiar ideas with new names.

  • It was just the most incredible weekend, absolutely life-changing personally and professionally. It has changed and shaped my EMDR practice for ever more. Thank you!

  • Mark’s creative approach to Attachment-Focused EMDR brings clarity and focus to working with the root causes of trauma, and the demonstration session was very inspiring.
