Gavin Bowtell is an Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner (EFT) in Chigwell, East London.
What is Emotional Freedom Technique?
Emotional Freedom Technique in Essex (EFT Essex) is an amazingly effective tool for alleviating and finding freedom from a wide range of problems. EFT works very well online – so you can benefit from EFT wherever you are in the world*
What is EFT used for?
EFT can help reduce distressing feeling like guilt, shame or anxiety. It can also resolves unhelpful behaviours like cravings or leaving everything to the last minute. EFT can clear emotional blocks and gently help you through phobias.
EFT can even help with pain, nightmares and PTSD.
How Does EFT Work?
EFT works by tapping on the point used in acupuncture. We mainly use “tapping” points in the head and upper torso. So you could say EFT is a bit like acupuncture but without the needles!

EFT Tapping Points & Acupuncture
EFT seeks to address emotional and psychological distress by tapping on several points on your body. You can do this yourself. One you have learned how to use this technique from me, it is a tool for you to use for the rest of your life. 
So why do you tap on meridian points? in EFT there is something called “The Discovery Statement” which states “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruptions of the body’s energy system”. In EFT it is presumed that the flow of energy in the body is blocked or otherwise disrupted.Where there is a natural flow of energy negative states cannot occur – explaining why some people are troubled by their memories and some are not.
What Happens During a Therapy Session?
It is very straight forward. You make an appointment. EFT is great for working via Skype or Zoom. So you can benefit from therapy in your own office, home, or car!
Or we can work together in-person.
1st You will tell me a little bit about your problem, when it started, why it bothers you, and how you would like to be instead. Some issues are totally straightforward, some have multiple aspects. We will lower together on as many aspects as you need.
2nd We hone in on the real crux of the matter and then we get to work.
3rd Whilst we are working on your issue(s) I will also be teaching the method to you at the same time, so that you can carry on the process of self healing with EFT in between sessions. YOU DO THE TAPPING ON YOURSELF.
A lot of clients find that having this tool and being able to take responsibility for positive change in their life brings them a great sense of satisfaction, confidence and greater feelings of control. So EFT is an excellent technique to use online, or here in Chigwell.
Help in between sessions?
It doesn’t matter if you cannot take in everything on the first session because I provide a link to a video of me taking you through the process. You will also receive a handout with detailed instructions, and appropriate support by email if required until the next session.
What do others say about EFT?
If you look up EFT on the internet “is EFT effective?” you will find as many results that say it is pseudoscience and bunkum as you will find glowing reviews and studies demonstrating its efficacy.

While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage. It is not a replacement for conventional medical treatment, and you might want to contact your GP in the first instance.
