EFT Tapping Therapy – Calm Your Mind, Heal Trauma, and Restore Balance

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or painful memories from the past?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping therapy, is a gentle yet highly effective way to bring relief and restore emotional wellbeing.

By lightly tapping on specific meridian points (similar to those used in acupuncture), EFT helps to:

  • Release stuck emotions and old patterns

  • Reduce anxiety and stress

  • Ease physical tension and discomfort

  • Create lasting emotional freedom — without needles or invasive techniques

Backed by growing research, EFT is becoming widely recognised in clinical settings and is proven to support issues such as anxiety, trauma, PTSD, fears, phobias, physical pain, and emotional eating.

Whether you want to process a painful experience, overcome a fear, or simply feel calmer and more in control, EFT provides a natural and empowering way to take back control of your emotional health.

What Is EFT Tapping and How Does It Work?

EFT combines the principles of modern psychology with ancient Eastern practices. Like acupuncture, it works with your body’s energy system — but instead of needles, you use your fingertips to gently tap on specific points on the face and body while focusing on a particular issue or feeling.

This simple technique sends calming signals to the amygdala — the part of the brain that controls fear and stress responses.
Studies show that EFT can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) by up to 24%, shifting your body from a fight-or-flight state into calm balance.

Many people notice a powerful “cognitive shift” during or after a session.

  • Negative beliefs lose their grip

  • Fear and panic melt into calmness and clarity

  • The nervous system resets, leaving you feeling peaceful, empowered, and in control

The Science Behind EFT

When you go through something traumatic or deeply stressful, your brain stores not only the memory but also the intense emotions that came with it. The amygdala acts like an internal alarm system, causing your body to react as if the danger is still present — even years later.

That’s why certain sights, sounds, or smells can trigger strong emotional or physical responses, such as anxiety, a racing heart, or a tight throat.

EFT works by gently rewiring this response:

  • Calming the brain’s alarm system

  • Soothing the body’s stress reaction

  • Helping your nervous system return to a balanced state

  • Replacing fear, overwhelm, and anxiety with peace and confidence

Over time, old triggers lose their power, and you’re free to move forward with a greater sense of safety and emotional freedom.

EFT for Trauma and PTSD

EFT has been shown to be a highly effective trauma-healing tool, supported by studies and recognised as an evidence-based practice by the American Psychological Association’s Division 12 Task Force for treating:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Phobias

  • PTSD

While therapies like CBT often require 16–20 sessions, many people experience significant relief with EFT in just 5–6 sessions.

When used for trauma, EFT should always be guided by a qualified, trauma-informed practitioner who works at your pace, ensuring you feel safe, supported, and in control.

What to Expect During Your First EFT Session

Your first EFT session begins with a confidential, compassionate consultation to understand your needs and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more in control.

Here’s what typically happens in a session:

  1. Gentle Guidance – I’ll walk you through the tapping points in a simple, easy-to-follow way.

  2. Focus on What Matters Most – Together, we’ll focus on the feelings or memories you want to release while tapping.

  3. Notice the Shift – Many people experience a sense of physical or emotional release: a deep sigh, yawning, or a wave of lightness as tension melts away.

  4. Aftercare Support – EFT continues to work even after the session. You may feel tired, emotional, or even have vivid dreams as your body and mind integrate the healing. I’ll provide tips to support you during this process.

Most clients leave feeling calm, lighter, and more empowered after their very first session.

EFT for Children

Children are often incredibly responsive to EFT because they have fewer emotional blocks and tend to heal quickly.
It can help with:

  • Nightmares and sleep issues

  • Anxiety and excessive worry

  • Behavioural challenges

  • Headaches, stomach aches, and stress-related symptoms

  • Processing upsetting or frightening experiences

Sessions for children are fun, gentle, and engaging, giving them a safe way to process feelings and build emotional resilience.

Many clients love that they can use the tapping techniques they learn during sessions whenever they need them, making EFT a powerful self-help resource for everyday stress and challenges.

Key benefits of EFT:

  • Works quickly and effectively on a wide range of issues
