Hello and Welcome. In this article I will tell you a bit about Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT.
I’ve been using for about 5 years and am still surprised at the positive effects of this easily to learn technique.
What is EFT?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and is also know as tapping it works using acupuncture points on the head and upper body whilst thinking about the problem.
EFT is the creation of Gary Craig who developed it from another therapy called TFT or Thought Field Therapy. EFT at TFT are Energy Psychology techniques, but arguably EFT is more targeted and streamlined. Almost anyone can learn it, I often teach it to my clients.
What Can EFT Help with?
EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique has a wide range of applications, for example with cravings, weight loss, fears and phobias. Other applications include, PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, shame and nightmares. Many of my clients go on to use it with their children, other family or friends.
Where Can I Receive EFT?
You can receive EFT sessions here with my in my therapy room in Chigwell, Essex. But EFT is also very suitable for therapy online via Zoom and Skype, for example. I have been working online with clients for a number of year, EFT works just as well on-line as in person. EFT is a perfect therapy for lockdown or social distancing.
How Does EFT Work?
The main principle of EFT is that “the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system”. In acupuncture needles are inserted at meridian points, the stimulation of these meridians is said to rebalance the body’s energy. EFT uses the same points in the heady and upper body mostly, but using tapping not needles. By gently bringing to mind the problem whilst tapping those problems can be rapidly and gently resolved. Of course, there is more to it than that – you can read more here, in my more detailed article.
What Can I Expect?
EFT Online
During your EFT session I will ask you to tell me a little about why you have come for therapy. I will explain the method of working and other options available to you.
Then we being the work.
You can expect one of three things to happen:
1) Your symptoms will be resolved.
2) Your symptoms will be partially resolved.
3) There will be no change in your symptoms.
You will tap on yourself whilst following my lead, and once you have done this a few times and got the hang of it, you will be able to use this approach to make many many improvements in your emotional life. When your sessions with me have come to an end, I can you the Personal Peace Procedure so will have EFT as a tool for life.

I recently had online therapy with Gavin to help with certain "blocks" that were impeding my work and my life. Gavin used EFT with me and after just two sessions, all of these issues were totally resolved!
Gavin is a hugely experienced, knowledgeable therapist and has a warm, friendly manner.
I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Important note : While EFT has produced remarkable results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage. Before beginning a course of any therapy you are advised to speak with you GP in the first instance.
