The Practicalities

I think of EFT as a soothing balm for the nervous system, helping it to stay settled and safe while you and I locate and resolve the issue at hand. 

EFT is simple to use, highly effective, very efficient and incredibly gentle which means most people respond really positively to it and like using it.  

It is accepted by many that unwanted habits, traumas, relationship patterns and ill health sit within our mind and our body.  I know this first hand and see it time and time again with clients. EFT works on both (it is a cognitive-somatic tool) via our Primo Vascular System (what used to be known as the meridian system of energy).  This system is vastly connected to the rest of our body and our brain and as a result EFT can target, impact and shift things in ways that many other psychotherapeutic tools can not.

Finally, EFT is rapidly becoming one of the most researched psychotherapeutic tools out there and if you want to have a look at some of this research I'd encourage you to check out https://eftuniverse.com/research-studies/ (but don't get lost down the rabbit hole!)

In the initial few sessions a big part of my role is to help you find a pace that works for you.  

We all have instinctive and unconscious protective mechanisms that are driven by our Autonomic Nervous System (which is part of our electrical anatomy) and it is important that we work with and respect these mechanisms.  After all they are designed to keep us safe and well! 

What it means is that, working at a pace outside of this 'Window of Tolerance' is likely to kick in protective mechanisms that slow down progress.  

Likewise, if you have physical symptoms like fatigue etc, our sessions need to respect this.  Not doing so creates more problems than it solves. 

When we are very eager to progress from our current reality this can feel difficult and is something that I often discuss with clients.

Although I am not able to provide an emergency service, and would always encourage you to contact your GP or appropriate medical service in such cases, I am often able to briefly guide you over email.   

Likewise if my diary allows, I will always try and offer you a session sooner than planned in such cases.
