Information about Social Art & Therapy talks, trainings and workshops
The British Association of Art Therapists are hosting my EMDR & Art Psychotherapy trainings online.
January 2021 and October 2021 were both online and fully booked, so we added May 2021 as another online day.
I am keeping it as close to an in person workshop as possible, hence a cap of 26 people and a request that cameras are on so we can work as a group.
Book here: www.baat.org/Courses-Conferences/465/Working-with-Trauma-Art-Therapy-EMDR-Eye-Movement-Desensitisation-and-Reprocessing
There is an online supervision group for EMDR / Art Psychotherapists that I run fortnightly, which has space for another member. This has been running for nearly two years and is the first of it's kind. Email for more information or to book an individual supervision session with the potential to join the group.

Working with trauma: Art Therapy & EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
This course is open to all Qualified Professionals
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy which can be used in conjunction with Art Psychotherapy to help address blocks, phobias, and anxiety. It is well evidenced as effective for PTSD.
This course is aimed at those who are not trained in or using EMDR in their practice, yet.
Saturday 8th of June 2019, 10am to 5pm (registration 9.30am), Location: 24 - 27 White Lion Street, London N1 9PD.
The course will provide an insight into EMDR methods and information about trainings. Specific relaxation techniques and coping strategies will also be demonstrated to enable practitioners to help calm people in immediate distress and teach them to self-soothe. These techniques can be used to help individuals and groups, clients and staff, adults and children.
EMDR used in art therapy sessions can speed up the therapeutic process and achieve results in a way that psychotherapy often cannot. EMDR has the potential to improve services, provide better value for money and produce stronger evidence of positive outcomes due to an inbuilt measuring scale. Self-care for people working with trauma is crucial, so vicarious trauma related to working within both the charitable and public sectors will also be addressed.
Lee Anna Simmons is a state registered art therapist and is also fully trained and accredited in EMDR therapy with specialist Child and Adolescent training. She runs Social Art & Therapy, a small clinic in South East London and is partly based in the West Country. She uses EMDR & Art Psychotherapy to address specific blocks, phobias and past trauma. Lee has experience working in Adult Social Services in Greater London, a refugee camp and addiction centre in Lebanon, and primary, secondary and alternative provision schools in the UK. She also supervises social workers and therapists. Lee’s qualifications include a Masters in Art Psychotherapy from Goldsmiths University, and Masters in Art practice from Chelsea College of Art & Design, London. She is also qualified as a climbing instructor, occasionally taking people climbing as part of their trauma therapy.
