What is EFT (Tapping)?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often called tapping, is a practical technique that combines talking through an issue with gentle tapping on specific points on the body.
Sometimes described as psychological acupressure, EFT involves gently tapping with your fingertips on specific points on the body, many of which are also used in acupuncture. As you tap, you focus on the thoughts, feelings or experiences that are causing you stress.
How does EFT work?
During a session, I’ll guide you through the process, helping you explore the thoughts, feelings and patterns that may be contributing to how you feel. We work at your pace, focusing on what feels most relevant to you.
Research shows that EFT helps reduce stress and anxiety. Studies have found reductions in cortisol, a hormone involved in the body's stress response. By combining focused attention on difficult thoughts and feelings with gentle tapping, EFT helps reduce emotional distress and supports a greater sense of calm.
As the intensity of difficult feelings begins to ease, you may find it easier to see situations differently, gain new perspectives and respond to life's challenges in ways that feel more helpful.
What can EFT help with?
EFT can be used to explore a wide range of experiences, including:
Stress, anxiety and overwhelm

Physical sensations associated with emotional distress
