"The training with Josh was so brilliant - the training material before the in-person training events was thorough and easy to access.
Josh has a playful, knowledgeable and encouraging presence. I've been blown away by the changes in my clients, even people who have experienced a great deal of complexity. The Somatic approach has transformed my practice... I have recommended this course to all my supervisees!"

“The best course I've taken in a long time... I would highly recommend the training to learn how to incorporate somatics with EMDR”

ABOUT ADVANCED EMDR™ — The UK’s First Accredited Somatic EMDR Qualification
Imagine an EMDR qualification that’s faster, more affordable, and more advanced than anything else in the UK, one that integrates the body, brain, and nervous system into every moment of healing.
Welcome to Advanced EMDR (AMDR) — home of the UK’s first-ever Somatic EMDR qualification, a pioneering, fully accredited pathway that’s also the fastest and best-priced EMDR training programme in the country.
Created by Joshua Isaac Smith, former Co-Director of the EMDR Centre London, senior EMDR trainer, and internationally respected neuroscience and somatics expert, AMDR is redefining what EMDR education can be.
While traditional EMDR focuses primarily on cognition and memory, Somatic EMDR works directly with the nervous system — unlocking deeper regulation, faster processing, and more sustainable trauma resolution.
At AMDR, we believe every therapist deserves access to cutting-edge EMDR education without the long wait times, inflated costs, or outdated teaching methods. Our accelerated, accredited programmes are built around real-world clinical application, brain-based models, and hands-on skill development — so you can begin using EMDR confidently, ethically, and effectively in the shortest possible time.
With Advanced EMDR™, you’re not just learning a protocol…
You’re becoming the kind of Therapist who transforms lives.
