Mark Brayne is an EMDR trainer and clinician based in the UK, recognised for his development and teaching of attachment-informed EMDR. Earlier in his career, he worked as a senior BBC foreign correspondent, covering Russia, East and Central Europe, and China. He brings many years of experience working with complex trauma, attachment injury, and developmental presentations, and is widely respected for the clarity and depth he brings to this work. Mark’s teaching integrates EMDR, attachment theory, and nervous system awareness, with a strong emphasis on case conceptualisation, clinical decision-making, and session structure. He is known for helping clinicians identify the underlying patterns that organise symptoms, and for translating complex material into practical steps therapists can use immediately. His presentations are dynamic and engaging, and his trainings are intentionally experiential. Mark typically demonstrates the approach live, explains his clinical reasoning as he works, and then guides participants into supported practice so the learning becomes embodied rather than only conceptual. Mark also uses metaphor as a teaching tool in a way that clinicians tend to remember. One he often returns to is the DeLorean, describing the EMDR protocol as a vehicle for revisiting the past with intention, preparation, and a clear route back to the present. For him, this reflects a core principle of the work: we do not revisit early experiences randomly or without support, and we always return to the here and now with containment and completion. Across his trainings, Mark combines clear instruction, live demonstrations, and structured practice, helping clinicians understand not only what to do, but why. His teaching is valued for being grounded, respectful of the EMDR model, and immediately applicable in clinical practice.
