EFT
The almost perfect therapy. Painless, Drug Free
and When Nothing Else Works!!
 
EFT is the most effective therapy that starts working on your issues straightaway. It is cost effective as it normally takes half the time of conventional therapies. It is a gentle therapy with permanent results. I am a friendly experienced practitioner with lots of happy past clients. I have found EFT to be very effective over a very wide range of emotional and physical issues. I am very easy to communicate with, I respect your privacy. It is not my role to judge you - only to help you. This is the best therapy I have ever practised! I offer a free email consultation for any queries or questions and I look forward to being able to help you.To discuss anything further please do not hesitate to contact me in confidence and with out obligation. I understand that choosing the correct therapist is a very important decision and includes many questions.
 
EFT integrates beautifully with hypnotherapy because it allows us to take the process even deeper. You know how important relaxation is to hypnotherapy? By tapping on the bodies stress points we go into a deeper state of relaxation to address the core issue of your problem, this has permanent results but you stay in a waking state.
Do you know that therapy used to take months or years to complete and cost thousands of pounds? In most cases we now do the same job in one to five sessions
Are you looking for a fast, effective and quick therapy? Tired of those counselling sessions that just seem to be going on for ever, without much improvement to your emotional health? Or perhaps the psychotherapy session is just too painful for you and you have given up?
Have you got a physical pain that the doctors can not cure? Have you ever stopped to wonder if you may need to address your emotional issues first?
Would you like to get rid of that fear or phobia permanently? or loose that extra weight for good? then EFT is the therapy for you. Because EFT starts working on your issues straight away it is very fast and therefore cost effective. It normally takes half the time of conventional therapies with permanent results.

I have never heard of EFT, What is it?
 
“The cause of all negative emotions is a

disruption in the body’s energy system."

"Chances are you came here because you have either thrown loads of time and money at your health issues and received inadequate help ... Things just aren't working and you know intuitively there must be another way ... another approach " P.S.This quote by Eric Robins, MD captures the essence of EFT

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."

- Eric Robins, MD -
Have you ever wondered why....
.....athletes get into slumps? There is no physical reason for them to perform below par. But all athletes go through this many times. Why?
....addictions are so hard to overcome? The addict normally wants to be free of their destructive patterns. Yet they continue with their destructive patterns. Why?
....depression is so hard to correct? This is one of the most difficult psychological issues to handle and progress if any is made, is usually accomplished in baby steps. Why?
....we sometimes self-sabotage ourselves? When we try, for example to lose weight we often manage to "stop ourselves" and fall back into our previous "comfort zones". Why?
....healing sometimes takes so long? That cold that just will not go away, that headache or pain that just stays. Why?
 
You need to address the issue of Psychological Reversal and what is more commonly known as self sabotage. It is the reason why we are sometimes our own worst enemy. It also contributes to psychological blocks (ie. writers block). Before this discovery, people's inability to make progress in areas of their life that was important to them was often blamed on such things as "lack of will", "poor motivation". But this is not so. There is another cause for these problems and is called Psychological Reversal and it is correctable with EFT. The discovery of Psychological Reversal was made by Dr John Diamond and used by Dr. Roger Callahan. The use of Psychological Reversal is an immensely important and practical discovery that is finding its way into psychology, medicine, addictions and weight loss. Where Psychological Reversal is present, little or no headway will be made. It literally blocks your progress. When Psychological Reversal is present it will prevent progress in all therapies. EFT has a built in correction for Psychological Reversal.
 
 
EFT
Quick, Effective & Gentle Therapy
(Normally works when nothing else will)
The almost perfect therapy. Painless, Drug Free
and When Nothing Else Works!!
 
 
Have you got a physical pain that the doctors can not cure? Have you ever stopped to wonder if you may need to address your emotional issues first?
 
EFT is great for all your physical and emotional issues. This an effective and gentle therapy which works on the bodies meridian points. The client is required to tap on various meridian points on the body. EFT is like hypnotherapy but adds extra power to the process because it integrates the body's subtle energies. Developed to cause the client as little stress as possible especially useful when dealing with trauma, PTSD, phobias, etc. Originally designed to speed up the process of psychotherapy. EFT can move issues with incredible speed, cutting treatment time dramatically and it has lasting results. As EFT can progress very rapidly it is not uncommon for sessions to be over a period of 1.5 to 2 hours long. EFT is the most successful therapy I have ever used. I specialise in treating Phobias and Sexual Trauma with EFT. EFT has a very effective technique called the "Tearless Trauma Technique" which is designed as a method where distress can usually be minimized or eliminated for the client.
Benefits of EFT
  1. No long, drawn out, "tell me your life story" feature to EFT.
  2. There are no pills needed
  3. No painfully reliving past traumatic events
  4. It does not take months or years.
  5. It takes a fraction of the usual therapy time.
  6. Results are normally permanent.
The Forest and Tree Metaphor
EFT works by breaking your issues into aspects and each aspect is then dealt with by a round of EFT. Hopefully this metaphor will help you understand this concept. Consider each of your specific issues as a tree in a forest. They might be reflective of things from your past such as rejection, abuse, failures, fears, guilt's etc. There may be hundreds of these issues (trees) making a thick forest. If you cut one of these trees (issues) down you still have not made much room in the forest. But what would happen if you cut down one tree per day? then the forest would have more room to move around, it would be a freer place to be. It would look different. You would not have to cut all the trees down in your forest because using EFT will neutralize most negative emotions relating to each issue. ie If you have a clump of 10 trees known as "abusive experiences" . Take the most intense tree in that clump first and work on it with EFT. Once you have cut down 3 or 4 trees you will normally find the remaining trees related to "abusive experiences" fall by themselves.

Hypnotherapy
"Change those old beliefs or habits easily"
 

Hypnosis is a form of relaxation therapy which can help overcome numerous issues. Hypnosis enables the client to bypass their conscious mind and deal with the issues/problems being held in their sub conscious mind. Once you have changed a thought or belief in your sub conscious mind, your conscious mind can then put a new thought pattern to work straight away - immediately. Clients are always aware what is happening during an hypnosis session at all times. Most clients leave a hypnotherapy session feeling very relaxed. Hypnotherapy sessions are normally about 1 hour long. I often combine the use of EFT with hypnotherapy as I find this can speed up the progress of therapy for clients dramatically.

What can hypnotherapy be used for?
 

This is not an exhaustive list, but is designed to give you an idea of the range of conditions that can be helped by hypnotherapy.

Alcoholism

Pain Control
Anger Management Panic Attacks
Asthma Past Life Regression
Confidence Phobias
Depression Psoriasis
Drug Addiction Sexual Abuse
Eating Disorders Sexual Problems
Eczema Sports / Work Performance
IBS Stammering
Insomnia Smoking
Migraine Stress / Anxieties
OCD Weight Loss
   
   
Who can be hypnotised?
 

 

The answer to this question is undoubtedly “virtually everyone”. However, some people are more hypnotisable than others and that it will also depend upon your willingness to be hypnotised at the time. This willingness will itself depend upon a number of factors, not least of which will be the strength of a person’s particular need and their trust and confidence in the therapist. This means that even where a person feels that they have not been hypnotised, given time the desired outcome of therapy might yet materialise. Hypnotherapy can be extraordinarily effective if the time is right and the client is willing to work, then all (realistic) goals are achievable. I was trained by the Hypnothink foundation which was founded by Ursula Markham who is a well respected hypnotist and author of over 25 books.
 
 
Stop Smoking
 
Do You Really Want to Quit Smoking? Then this is the therapy for you!
 
If you can truthfully answer yes to this question then this may be the answer for you. In just one session with a powerful combination of EFT and Hypnotherapy you can quit smoking for good. No withdrawal or cravings. Leave the session a non smoker for good. Yes you did read that correctly; leave the session a non smoker for good.
 
If you are reading this page you have probably tried to quit smoking in the past and failed. You have tried all the conventional stop smoking products, gum, patches etc. but you have gone back to smoking? Have you ever wondered why this happens? You are not addressing your habit but simply swapping one habit for another ie you chew nicotine gum instead of smoking nicotine. Quit your habit of smoking painlessly and quickly.
 
This is an effective, fast and gentle therapy and you will quit smoking for good. You will leave the session relaxed and ready to start your life as a non smoker permanently.
 
 
Weight Loss
This is not a Diet!!
No Foods are Forbidden, No Restrictions, Safe and Easy Weight Loss.
 

Are you tired of those diets that just do not seem to work? You have lost loads of weight in the past only to have put it all back on and more? Have you ever wondered why that is? To keep the weight off you also need to change your habits and beliefs about yourself. Perhaps you have an emotional issue that makes you keep self- sabotaging yourself? or do you have an irrational craving for a specific food? Then this is the therapy for you. Stop Yo Yo dieting and address your emotional issues first, until you do you will not keep the weight off.

A combination of hypnotherapy and EFT will help you reach your goal weight. This is not a diet. You decide what weight you want to be. EFT is used to eliminate any cravings and emotional issues that cause you to keep self sabatoging yourself and hypnotherapy is used to help obtain your goal weight. This is safe, effective and healthy weight loss. Emotional issues are responsible for weight gain in most people very few people are overweight just because they eat too much. Take a moment to answer these two questions to yourself; do not think about your answers. Make a note of the first things that come into your mind - these will be some of your emotional issues that need addressing and until you address and clear theses issues you will not keep your weight off.
 
1. What is the downside of losing weight?
2. What is the upside of remaining overweight?
 
Please read the section on addiction below as this is also very relevant to people who wish to loose weight.
 
 
 
Addiction
 
"The true cause of all addictions is anxiety... an uneasy feeling that is temporarily masked or tranquillised, by some substance or behaviour". This also applies to food. Unfortunately for people who have chosen food as their substance of choice this is a harder behaviour to change because we need to eat food everyday, this means that you can trigger your addiction much more easily than other substances.
 
Addicted people really want to be free of their addiction but despite their good intentions they usually revert to their former behaviour. Even when someone kicks one addiction they normally pick up another in its place ie. people who give up cigarettes substitute them for food. The addiction has not been overcome but has merely shifted. The reason for this is that most people do not address the true cause of their addiction. If they did they would not need to substitute one addiction for another. What is not an addiction?
  • It is not a bad habit
  • It is not inherited
  • It does not run in the family
  • It is not because you are weak
  • It is not lack of will power.

Take away an addicts substance and they will become anxious. A habit can be changed without anxiety. Most people seek out their favourite substance (alcohol, cigarettes etc) to tranquillise their anxiety. They do this in an effort to relax, calm their nerves, take their minds off things. These are all different forms of anxiety. Addictive behaviour is not simply a bad habit but an anxiety which is driving a person towards an addictive substance or behaviour. This is only a temporary release. When the effects wear off the anxiety surfaces once again and an addict must repeat the cycle. All addicts know that their behaviour is heading them in the wrong direction. Many try to overcome it and often slip back into previous behaviour and this is because of Psychological Reversal (see article on home page). EFT works on psychological reversal, dramatically reduces the pain of withdrawal and often eliminates it entirely.

 
Phobia's,Fears or Anxiety
 
 
 
A phobia is a fear, horror or aversion of an object, animal or place. Our fears are essential to a point. They are important for our survival. Without them we might walk off the tops of tall buildings, run in front of moving cars etc.. They are an automatic mechanisms that kick into place when danger is afoot. Sometimes fears overdo their function and create an unnecessary fear response. It is one thing to be cautious, some things can be dangerous and cause you harm. It is quite another to experience a pounding heart, headache, nausea, vomiting, sweating, or tears. This is excess fear and is above and beyond normal caution. EFT eliminates the phobic part of the fear but leaves the normal caution or concern alone. People are often amazed at how quickly a lifelong phobia can vanish. But the process does not make them stupid. They don't suddenly jump off of tall buildings because they have been cured of their fear of heights. EFT can treat that phobia quickly, effectively and painlessly. Normally in about 2 hours.
 
You have probably heard of the more commonly known phobias such as claustrophobia (fear of enclosed spaces), arachnophobia (fear of spiders), aqua phobia (fear of water). There is a phobia for most things that we come across in our modern lives. Today people suffer from fear of flying, fear of public speaking, fear of dogs the list is endless.
 
If you suffer from a phobia you will have probably discovered that a fear that started as something small has escalated over the years and has become quite a significant problem. Phobias never go away but continue to get stronger over the years and until in some cases they take over a person's life. You may control your phobia quite well but every time you encounter an event that triggers your phobia, it will grow stronger and stronger until you address the problem. A phobia may affect your work life and personal life.
 
Maybe you work for a company and you have to make presentations in board meetings or you need to make a speech at a wedding? Then being able to speak in front of people in a clear and confident manner is very important, but many people find that they are unable to do this? hindering their career - this is a fear of public speaking. Maybe you are going on holiday and you would love to go abroad but you just can not get on that plane?- then you have a fear of flying. All these things can be treated giving you back control of your life.
 
Phobia's are normally made up of a serious of traumatic events and some can be make up of more than one phobia - for instance fear or flying may also be a fear on enclosed spaces and a fear of dying etc. Phobia's and trauma's are very closely related and you may find the section on trauma of interest to you.
 
Imagine a life free of phobias, free to do what you want when you want - no restrictions, no fear? I specialise in treating phobias with EFT. Normally a two hour session is all it takes to clear your phobia for good! Imagine getting rid of that phobia for good? Perhaps it would enable you to go swimming with the kids or perhaps take the lift for the first time in your life?
 
Get your freedom back or the confidence to move on to that new job or promotion! EFT is gentle, effective and very fast and works on all types of phobias. I have treated many clients successfully using EFT- the success rate is 85%.
 
 
Sexual Trauma and Trauma with EFT
(when nothing else works....)
 
 
Congratulations if you are reading this page you have already taken a big step in getting yourself some help. Even if you do not use my services please do not give up now. Continue with your search until you find the right treatment for yourself. I specialise in the treatment of sexual trauma with EFT and have treated many clients successfully. If you have been a victim of child abuse, trauma, rape (male and female) or any form of sexual abuse, you will probably have tried many different types of therapy already. Some of you will have been successful but most of you will still have underlying issues that you still need to deal with.? Most of you are still searching for a therapy that can help you. EFT is that therapy.
I understand that you need a therapist that you can trust and that confidentiality is very important to you. My practice is in a quiet and secure location. I am an experienced and caring EFT practitioner. I will take thetime to listen to your needs and plan with you how you wish your treatment to commence. EFT will take things very gently and at a pace to suit you.
With each therapy session you should be able to take an issue and resolve it. I use techniques designed to cause you as little emotional pain as possible. You do not even have to discuss specific events with me. Things that you wish to keep to yourself can still be treated without you giving me specific details. EFT is designed to take away the emotional intensity of a memory or event it does not remove the event or memory. I will not let you leave a session until you have successfully dealt with your emotional issue ! Your emotional well being is my primary concern. You will be able to fully resolve past issues and move forward with a gentle and safe way of working. This therapy is transformational for both client and therapist. EFT was developed to cause the client as little stress as possible especially useful when dealing with traumas, PTSD, phobias etc.
EFT was originally designed to speed up the process of psychotherapy. EFT can move issues with incredible speed, cutting treatment time dramatically and it has lasting results. EFT can progress very rapidly. EFT is the most successful therapy I have ever used. EFT has a very effective technique called the "Tearless Trauma Technique" which is designed as a method where distress can usually be minimized or eliminated for the client.
 
PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
 
 
EFT can have its one minute wonders but normally there are many layers of trauma that make up PTSD. To treat PTSD you need to go slowly and gently and this normally requires two to three appointments at least depending upon the severity of a person condition. Quite often traumas have built up from childhood, dysfunctional families/ authoritarian families causing PTSD but PTSD can be caused by just one event in some cases i.e. car accident.
 
Most Common Symptoms of PTSD
 
Insomnia Irritability Depression Headaches
Digestive Orders Immune system Disorders Chest Pain Numbness
Flashbacks Nightmares Dizziness Fatigue
Weight Loss Weight Gain Easily Triggered by current events Low Self Esteem
Phobias Domestic Violence Rage Grief
Guilt Unemployment Anxiety Panic Attacks
Depression Feeling Isolated Unsafe feeling Alcohol Abuse
Drug Abuse Anger    
These symptoms often develop after exposure to a frightening or terrifying event and they can occur at any age. It is not uncommon for victims or other family members to also develop PTSD symptoms.
Have you found that you have stopped socialising with family and friends because thoughts, feelings and even conversation can remind you of a traumatic event or incident? You may feel emotionally numb and detached from the present moment or alone with no interest in important activities and you feel you have nothing to look forward to. If you are unable to express your feelings and emotions or you never relax, have difficulty sleeping or over react to events or you feel startled, angry and constantly on guard you are showing symptoms of having PTSD. You may have only one or several of the above symptoms. Quite often people who suffer from PTSD suffer from physical injuries, illness and have had long periods of hospitalisation.
 
 
Common Triggers for PTSD
 
 
Personal Assault
Natural Disasters
Accidents
Military Combat
Terror Attacks
Survivor of an Accident
Rape
Abuse
Victims of Crime
Employees of Emergency Services
Witness to a Traumatic Event
