What Is Tapping?

Emotional Freedom Techniques or Tapping is a powerful energy psychology therapy which involves tapping on acupressure points on the upper body and hands while focusing on an emotion or physical sensation that is causing you distress. The therapy is based on traditional Chinese medicine and modern psychology. As of 2025, there have been over 300 plus research studies which show that EFT is effective for pain, anxiety, food cravings, depression, trauma, phobias, peak athletic performance and much more.

It is thought that Clinical EFT works by deactivating the amygdala, the stress centre of the brain and the hippocampus, the memory centre when we think of stressful memories, thoughts,  feelings or physical sensations. Here is an interesting research article where you can learn more

​

I found Tapping many years ago when suffering from sciatica and I was so impressed that I worked through other issues systematically as they arose. I then began to read everything I could about Tapping and finally trained with EFT International so that I could help others. 

​

What happens at the first session?

The first session is a Free initial consultation where I will take notes about your problem area. It is also a chance for you to ask questions about how Tapping works. On subsequent sessions I will go through the Tapping process and explain how everything works and then we will work on your issue.

​

How many sessions will I need?

I usually suggest at least 3 sessions to start with, however this is completely up to you. Every person and problem is different but this will be discussed at the consultation. We review our progress at each meeting. You may also have simple relaxation exercises to do between sessions.
