About EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), often called “tapping”, is a gentle, body-based approach that helps reduce emotional intensity and calm the nervous system.
It combines focused attention on a specific issue with light tapping on certain points on the body.
This helps the mind and body process emotional stress in a more regulated way.
How EFT can help
EFT is commonly used to support a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:
- Anxiety and panic
- Stress and overwhelm
- Overthinking and intrusive thoughts
- Phobias and fears
- Emotional trauma
- Anger and emotional reactivity
- Low confidence and self-doubt
- Habits and addictive patterns
Many people find it helpful when talking alone hasn’t been enough.
What makes EFT different
Unlike purely talking-based approaches, EFT works with both the mind and the body.
When we experience stress or emotional distress, the body often holds onto that activation.
EFT helps to gently calm this response, so the emotional charge around an issue can reduce.
Over time, this can make old patterns feel less overwhelming and easier to shift.
What a session looks like
In a session, we focus on a specific issue that is affecting you.
You are guided through the tapping process step by step—there is nothing you need to learn or get right.
We work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
Using EFT for yourself
One of the benefits of EFT is that it is simple and portable.
Many clients learn how to use it between sessions to help manage stress or anxiety in daily life.
It can be done anywhere, and often takes only a few minutes.
A note on results
Everyone is different.
Some people notice a shift quite quickly, while others benefit from a gradual process over time.
We always work in a way that respects your pace and your system.
EFT in my work
In my practice, I integrate EFT with other approaches such as Cognomovement and integrative counselling to support deeper and more lasting change.
This allows us to work not only with thoughts, but with how experiences are held in the body as well.
