EMDR Informed Coaching School

A certification for EMDR-trained professionals ready to move beyond healing, into growth, performance, and transformation

I truly believe that:

EMDR isn’t just for trauma.

It’s for growth, confidence, performance, and fulfilment too.

If you’re an EMDR-trained therapist who feels a pull toward working in a more expansive, energising way, with clients who want to move forward, not just recover, I created this programme for you.

Why I created the EMDR Informed Coaching School

I want to share a little of my story with you, because this programme exists because of it.

In 2018, something changed for me. I had always loved my work as a Clinical Psychologist, but I found myself feeling exhausted, disconnected, and on what I can now clearly see was a burnout spiral.

At the same time, my personal world was falling apart. My sister was diagnosed with terminal cancer and it was devastating. When my sister died I had to do so much healing and work on myself to find joy in my work again and this is where I found the world of coaching.

Where EMDR and Coaching Came Together

As I began receiving coaching myself, something unexpected happened.

I started to see how beautifully EMDR and coaching could complement one another.

I began integrating EMDR-informed approaches into my coaching work, first with myself, then with clients, and the results were phenomenal.

I used this integrated approach to:

🦋 Speak at my sister’s funeral

🦋 Step into teaching on EMDR trainings

🦋 Build a business that feels aligned, nourishing, and deeply fulfilling

🦋 Move into growth and leadership in ways I never imagined possible

What struck me most was this:

EMDR isn’t just a therapy for distress.
It’s an incredible tool for growth.

And yet, hardly anyone was talking about using EMDR outside the therapy room.

The gap I couldn't ignore

Therapists began asking me questions like:

❓ “How do I work with clients who are blocked but not traumatised?”

❓ “How do I support performance and growth ethically?”

❓ “How do I blend coaching skills with EMDR without crossing boundaries?”

I realised there was a huge gap.

Coaches often get clients so far, then hit blocks that really need therapeutic resolution.

Therapists have the depth, but aren’t always trained in forward-focused coaching.

As EMDR-trained professionals, we are uniquely placed to bridge that gap. And yet, there was no clear, ethical, practical pathway to do this work.

That’s why I created the EMDR Informed Coaching School — to save you the 18 years it took me to figure this out on my own.

A new way of working with EMDR

This programme isn’t about abandoning therapy.

It’s about expanding what’s possible.

EMDR Informed Coaching allows you to:

🦋 Work ethically with high-functioning, growth-focused clients

🦋 Move beyond “what happened” into “what’s possible next”

🦋 Support confidence, clarity, performance, and fulfilment

🦋 Bring renewed energy and creativity back into your work

This way of working facilitates transformation from the inside out.

And honestly?
It brings so much joy back into the work.

What makes this certification different?

This is not a passive online course.
And it’s not a generic coaching qualification.

This certification brings together:

– My 18 years of experience studying, practicing, and teaching EMDR

– My 5 years of coaching experience

– A clear ethical framework

– A practical, end-to-end system you can use immediately

This is the programme I wish had existed when I was figuring this out myself.

What Past Participants Are Saying:

Lesley - Chartered Counselling Psychologist

”"I have been practising EMDR-informed coaching for the past 18 months, primarily working with a client group that receives funding for only three sessions. Referrals are typically for anxiety related to imminent examinations, which requires focused, time-limited intervention. The outcomes have been consistently impressive, with a high success rate.

To further formalise and deepen my knowledge and skills, I chose to enrol with Hannah’s EMDR-Informed Coaching Academy. The programme offers a strong balance of structured teaching, self-directed study, and experiential group work, allowing new skills to be embedded and applied in practice.

I would highly recommend Hannah’s training. It has significantly enhanced my confidence and professional competence within this emerging and exciting field, where EMDR principles and coaching come together in a highly effective way.”

Joanna - Clinical Psychologist & EMDR Consultant

"I am nearing the end of Hannah’s EMDR Informed-Coaching Certification and I feel energised, inspired and excited about what this will bring to my clients and my practice. Hannah equips you with everything you need to start implementing the approach in a practical way. The practice coaching PODS have been a highlight - a supportive space with likeminded peers, and an opportunity to witness first hand the transformational impact of working through blocks that keep us from thriving. I am so grateful, thank you Hannah.”
