The European Association for Somatic Experiencing (SE)® (EASE) is the umbrella organization which unites Trainers of SE™, National Associations representing SE™ Practitioners (SEPs™) and the Organizers offering SE™ Trainings. Therefore, as an individual practitioner you can not join EASE, but you can stay in touch with the European SE™ field by joining a National SE™ Association in the country you work in.

The required amount of individual sessions and supervision hours in Europe differs across countries. EASE Bylaws set the minimum requirements for receiving an EASE SEP™ Certificate as 15 personal sessions and 18 supervision credits. To get to know the required amount in the country where you plan to study and work, you should ask an Organiser of SE™ Training in this country.

The SE™ Certificates are accepted everywhere in the world no matter where you received your Certificate.

If there is an SE™ Association in the country where you live, you can contact it and ask to be included in the list of SE™ practitioners. In case there is no SE™ Association in your country, you can write to office@ease.eu.com for further information. Information on each European country’s SEPs™ can be found at EASE homepage in the “Find the practitioner” session:

For Non-European accredited Case consultants (Senior Assistants in EASE) the ESAC (European Senior Accreditation Committee) decides on exceptions for accreditation. A Case consultant needs to send a document to ESAC to prove the fact that they are accredited as Case consultants in another region of the world. For case consultants (single or group) accredited before 2014 no special approval is required, as long as the accreditation is still valid. If the accreditation has been issued after January 2014: in addition to the document mentioned above, the Case consultant has to send a video showing a case consultation either in English or in their native language with an English transcript of the case consultation. The video can be made available by a GDPR compatible online technology. The fee for the video application is 150€. Please file your application to the ESAC address listed at EASE contact page or send it to office@ease.eu.com.
