What is EFT?

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a complementary, body-based approach that some people find helpful when working with stress, emotional intensity, and unhelpful patterns of response.

EFT is often described as combining elements of focused attention with gentle tapping on specific points on the body, using the fingertips. During EFT, attention is brought to a particular thought, emotion, or experience while tapping is used to support regulation and awareness.

Some people find EFT supportive for:

• stress and anxiety

• emotional overwhelm

• self-criticism or limiting beliefs

• confidence and performance-related concerns

• processing difficult experiences at a manageable pace

EFT is not a medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose or cure physical or mental health conditions. Instead, it is offered as a supportive, complementary technique, used alongside other therapeutic or wellbeing approaches where appropriate.

In my work, EFT is offered gently and collaboratively, and only where it feels suitable for the individual. It is always paced carefully, with attention to safety, consent, and personal preference. EFT may be used on its own or integrated with counselling-informed or holistic work, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
