People listed in the directory are independent practitioners, have completed at least Phase 1 training, work with clients with Brainspotting and requested to be added to the list. Brainspotting Ireland does not offer therapy, does not endorse or guarantee the work or skills of any of the listed practitioners, nor does it guarantee the results or effects of treatment. Completion of the Brainspotting training is not a sufficient guarantee of the competence of a Brainspotting practitioner. People using the catalog should independently verify the qualifications, competences and experience of a given practitioner.
