How to find an EMDR therapist in New Zealand
EMDR New Zealand provides a directory with practical filters for location, training level, online sessions, ACC registration, availability and acceptance of new clients.
This is not a government register, and inclusion does not replace the professional licence or registration required in the jurisdiction. EMDR Match does not individually recommend or validate its members.
How this directory is populated
The source explains every level and says that “EMDR Therapist” is not a protected title or equivalent to Accredited Practitioner. Members maintain registration with their relevant professional board.
How to narrow your search in New Zealand
Combine location with new-client status and format, then compare level and ACC. Confirm New Zealand registration, relevant experience, client group, language, fees and waiting times.

No. EMDR Match links to the source to make searching more transparent; it does not copy profiles, charge for referrals or take part in inclusion decisions.
