EMDR and the Autism Spectrum – Caroline Van Diest and Mark Brayne


EMDR INTEGRATIVE is very excited to be hosting this three-part webinar series featuring two international speakers, Caroline Van Diest and Mark Brayne presenting on EMDR for the Autism Spectrum. Caroline and Mark have successfully delivered this training in the UK, and it is with great pleasure this will be delivered in Australia for the first time. 


This three-part webinar series will feature two x 3-hour webinars on 2 consecutive days including:



  • The history of both the clinical and social understandings of ASD

  • Appropriate adaptations to make with all 8 phases of EMDR

  • Important considerations regarding EMDR with this population incorporating functioning, diagnosis, comorbid mental health conditions, and level of insight

  • How to work with the traumatic impact of ASD on relationships with self and the world


The training will provide valuable insight from both Caroline’s personal experience with Neurodiversity, and also Mark Brayne’s lived experience as someone with a late diagnosis of Asperger’s. The presentation will include case videos and examples. 


The third webinar will be a 2-hour explorative, and interactive webinar which will allow for case discussions, questions, and trouble shooting in your own practice. This will be spaced apart from the first two webinars allowing integration of knowledge into practice, and the opportunity for reflection before the final session. 


Webinar 1: Thursday June 24th 4pm -7pm AEST


Webinar 2: Friday 25th June 4pm – 7pm AEST


Webinar 3: Thursday 1st July 5pm-7pm AEST


Zoom details and workshop materials will be sent to registrants the week of the event. The webinar series will be recorded and will be sent to all registered participants after the event for a limited time. 


Minimum requirement for attendance is having completed EMDR Part One training. Limited capacity. Early bird tickets now available for a limited time.

Caroline has both professional and personal experience of Neurodiversity.  She offers herself purely as an exploratory colleague with an open mind, willing and keen to explore ideas to enhance therapy and advocate for the client.

Personally, she loves living in the countryside with her family (beautiful daughter and adorable hubby (He is an EMDR Consultant - imagine their romantic dinners!!), caring for a menagerie of animals, wandering in the forest, working in the garden or wrestling with her work life balance and desire for connectivity with others and creativity!
