Energy is the Blueprint; the Interface between the Mind, Body and Emotions ~ Gary Craig

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) was first introduced to the public back in 1995 by Gary Craig. It integrates the Chinese meridian system into the therapy process by tapping on meridian points with your fingertips.

Properly done, it reduces conventional therapy from months or years to a fraction of that time (often just a few hours is needed for permanent results).

There are numerous internet versions available, each no doubt with something to offer, however, I use the official, original and Gold Standard Process in my practice and this is what you can expect to learn from me.

Is it becoming increasingly difficult to hide your distress?

Have you run out of steam and finally feel willing to consider something different, however reluctantly?

EFT therapy can help you to:

• Feel happier, lighter and more energetic
• Understand why you were depressed and how to prevent it
• Feel calmer
• Find relief from (traumatic) stress symptoms
• Feel better – recover from fears and phobias or heal trauma
• Find relief from previously ‘bottled up’ feelings
• Enhance your social skills
• Bring your essential emotional needs more into balance
• Increase your awareness of your innate and acquired resources
• Increase your confidence and self esteem

**********************************

I am always open about my thought process and the approaches I use because I consider the work to be collaboration.

Here are some of the issues I work with:

• Emerging from depression
• Becoming less anxious, more relaxed, more confident
• Healing traumatic memories that may be inhibiting or upsetting you in the present
• Improving your relationship with yourself
• Improving your relationship with others
• Taming a harsh inner critic
• Mastering panic attacks
• Overcoming phobias
• Grieving in a healthy way
• And other issues as well

Regardless of the issues, my overall goal is to provide a place that is welcoming and confidential where you can engage with a skilled psychotherapist to create positive changes in your life.
