Counselling and EFT

Counselling

Counselling is a confidential, caring space in which to explore issues that trouble you. It is an opportunity to look at questions in a new light, to create a shift, and to uncover the solutions that are within you. It is a time for you to be heard and for focusing on yourself and your needs. Counselling is potentially a commitment to your own development, with the support of a counsellor who accompanies you on the path toward aligning yourself with your true goals and the essence of who you are.

EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT is an emotional healing technique devised by Gary Craig in the early 1990s. It draws on the principles of Applied Kinesiology , TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and Chinese Medicine. Stimulating the body’s energy meridians by lightly tapping on key points with one’s fingertips, it clears away the energy blocks at the root of mental, emotional and physical issues. The treatment is non-invasive and surprisingly simple, it is fast and effective, and yet it can bring about profound changes and improvements, empowering people to actively contribute to their own healing and development process.

Matrix Reimprinting

Karl Dawson created Matrix Reimprinting as an extended method of working with EFT. By applying the technique directly to painful memories, it transforms the beliefs and patterns that underlie our physical and emotional conditions. Using EFT tapping is safe and effective. It quickly resolves negative core-beliefs that set the scene for addictions and phobias, relationship issues, lack of self-confidence and self-worth, anxiety and stress, and many other personal problems.

EFT and Matrix can be used for self-help, but with a practitioner one can maintain focus and achieve clarity and resolution more efficiently, because of the benefits of being held in a professionally caring situation. Matrix Reimprinting is a remarkable and exciting development in the application of tapping.

What you can expect:

Think of a counselling session with EFT, as a way in which you can safely and efficiently explore issues and personal problems. My role as a guide is to listen and help you find your own resources and solutions. On your first session my objective will be to share with you the technique of tapping (EFT) so that at the very least you will go away with a useful self-help tool. After that it depends very much on your needs and how deeply you choose to work.

I draw on my experience as a counsellor, and I use EFT to focus and move through stuck emotions and unhelpful patterns. Matrix Reimprinting is a method of using EFT to resolve difficult memories that is both very effective and gentle. Ultimately the goal is to empower you and promote a positive future. Perhaps a couple of sessions will be all you require, or maybe you will choose some ongoing support. I always let myself be guided by what is appropriate for you on the day, at that moment…
