EFT for Professionals
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is an invaluable therapeutic and stress management tool, hailed as a "universal healing aid", and is a must for any professional working in a supportive/helping capacity.
Emotional Freedom Technique is sometimes known as “acupuncture without needles” and has been developed in the US in the 1990s. EFT brings together complementary therapies and psychology, by combining stimulation of a series of acupressure points with cognitive restructuring (specially worded affirmations), typically resulting in rapid shifts of cognition and relief from excess negative emotions. The main features are:
- Quick and easy to learn, with good success rates even for complete beginners.
- Is “portable” and can be taught to others in one brief session for use as a self-help tool.
- The client is an active participant and not a passive recipient and has a better sense of control
- Can be carried out anywhere and at any time, for both emotional and physical symptoms.
- A gentle approach, with virtually no contra-indications or harmful side-effects.
- Does not require full disclosure – a client can keep a difficult issue private and still get relief.
- Can work even for complex and long-lasting problems with minimum discomfort.
- Benefits the practitioner as well as the client!
Even beginners can typically use EFT with a high degree of success for relief from irrational fears and anxieties, addictive cravings, aches & tensions, unpleasant memories and difficult emotions. It can be easily combined with other approaches, such as NLP, CBT, TA, Time Line Therapy, hypnosis, etc.

Introductory EFT video
Below is a seven-minute video introducing some of the benefits of EFT - you may find that some of the claims in it may appear extraordinary, however in our experience, whilst not everyone gets the "miraculous" results in minutes, this approach does help to significantly improve the effectiveness and speed up the treatment.
