EFT Tapping
Sometimes talking helps us understand. Sometimes we need another way of working with what we’re experiencing.
EFT
Emotional Freedom Techniques combines gentle tapping on specific points on the face and upper body with noticing and putting words around what you are experiencing. I use it alongside coaching when it feels useful, rather than as something you have to do every session.
What does tapping actually look like?
You don’t need to know how to do EFT before we begin.
During a session, I’ll guide you through a simple sequence of tapping points while we gently notice what is present.
You can follow along with me, and we can pause, talk, change direction or stop whenever you need to.
There is no perfect way to tap and you don’t need to find the “right” words.
We begin with what is actually there.
When something feels stuck
You may understand something logically and yet notice the same thought, feeling or response continuing to appear.
Tapping gives us another way to gently explore what may be happening.
Where EFT can fit into our work?
When something feels activated
Sometimes a conversation brings up an emotion, body sensation, thought or memory.
Rather than needing to push it away or immediately make sense of it, EFT gives us another way to stay curious about what is present.
When something new is emerging
EFT isn't only something we might use when something feels difficult.
We can also use tapping while exploring new perspectives, choices and ways of responding — giving you space to experience what you would like to carry forward.
EFT & Coaching
EFT Tapping -Supporting change from the body up.
Coaching -Bringing what you discover into your life.
Sometimes talking is exactly what we need.
Sometimes we become curious about what the body might be holding onto.
There isn't a predetermined formula. We use what feels useful for you.
Your words matter
When we tap together, I listen to the words, thoughts, images and body sensations that emerge for you.
Sometimes those words begin to change as we work. A different thought may appear, something may make more sense, or you may find words that better reflect what you're experiencing now.
We don't need to force a positive thought over something that doesn't feel true.

For my private 1:1 clients
Something created for you
Sometimes during our work, particular words, phrases or themes emerge that feel worth returning to.
Where it feels useful, I can create a short bespoke follow-along tapping practice using what has emerged from our work together. It becomes another resource available to you between our sessions, if and when it feels helpful.
There is no expectation to use it, or to make it part of a routine.
Not a generic recording. Something shaped by you and the work we're doing together.
You can always say no
EFT is something I can offer. It is never something you have to do.
You can choose not to tap, pause at any point, change direction or decide that talking feels more useful that day.
Your choice remains part of our work together.
A note about EFT and your wellbeing
EFT Tapping is a complementary approach and does not replace medical, psychological or other appropriate healthcare.
I don't diagnose medical or mental health conditions or suggest that EFT can cure them.
If something arises that would be better supported by your GP, another healthcare professional or a specialist service, we can talk openly about seeking additional support.
Our work always stays within the scope of my professional training and competence.
A few questions you might have:
Do I need to have tried EFT before?
Not at all. I'll guide you through it and we can take our time.
Will we use EFT in every session?
Not necessarily. We use it when it feels useful for you and what we're exploring.
Do I have to talk about everything in detail?
No. We can decide together how we approach something and what feels appropriate to explore.
Can I stop tapping?
Yes. At any point.
What if EFT doesn't feel right for me?
Then we don't have to use it. EFT is one of the ways I can work with you, rather than something you have to fit yourself around.
