About us
Trauma Response Network (TRN) is a registered charity which provides free therapy and support to people in Great Britain affected by a mass trauma event. Our service is delivered online.
We aim to coordinate access to trauma support for those who have suffered a mass trauma or for those indirectly affected by such events.
Training, qualifications & experience
Our EMDR therapists are all members of a professional regulating body and the EMDR Association UK, which means the therapists available via TRN are regulated by a professional body. They work towards the highest standards of practice and ethical codes in trauma care as well as receiving regular supervision by approved consultants.
Therapists working with children and adolescents also hold up-to-date DBS checks.
EMDR therapy is recommended by the World Health Organisation as the trauma treatment of choice for children and adolescents since it does not involve reliving the memory of the trauma event, talking about it at length, or sharing details with others.
It is also recommended by the UK's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
Member organisations *
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
