The International Home of Resource Therapy

The Global Professional Association for Resource Therapy

Resource Therapy International is the official governing body for Resource Therapy, supporting the growth, integrity, and visibility of the model across training, research, certification, collaboration, and community.

Why Resource Therapy International Exists

Resource Therapy International exists to protect, steward, and advance Resource Therapy worldwide. We support the growth of the model through professional standards, training pathways, certification, global connections, and educational leadership. We also help therapists, trainers, and organisations stay connected to the original model founded by Professor Gordon Emmerson, while supporting its continued international development.

What is Resource Therapy?

Resource Therapy is a globally recognised, parts-based psychotherapy model that transforms how you connect with clients. Founded by Professor Gordon Emmerson PhD, it moves past standard talk therapy by identifying the precise Resource State active in the moment.

Whether a client is stuck in fear, rejection, or conflict, Resource Therapy gives you clear, actionable clinical interventions to work directly with the distressed state and rapidly activate their inner resilience.

It’s precise, deeply compassionate, and designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing professional framework.
