The EMDR All-Ireland Association is the lead organisation for promoting the safe and effective use of EMDR therapy in Ireland.
We recognise that in response to Covid-19 psychological therapy may need to be done remotely, on either video call platform or telephone. This includes the provision of EMDR therapy.
