Emotional Freedom Technique
Tapping

Tapping is a clinically effective technique that works with acupuncture points which we work together to tap on, whilst we express thoughts that are surfacing, in short 'rounds'. Tapping helps to 'turn off' some of the conscious mind and gives the body a chance to access some unconscious parts of our brain.  We can then find release from thoughts, emotions or behaviours that trouble us.  It is a very therapeutic process that is effective with a range of issues and tends to work very quickly.  Three to six sessions is often enough. 

​

Lots of people find that this technique works and is especially good for phobias and managing the symptoms of post traumatic stress and other issues linked to anxiety such as OCD.  It is often helpful as a starting point to counselling so that you are not overwhelmed telling your story or thinking about your suffering.

 

There is now plenty of research supporting the effectiveness of EFT e.g. from the American Psychological Association. The findings found that  clinical trials are "consistently demonstrated strong effect sizes and other positive statistical results that far exceed chance after relatively few treatment sessions". (Feinstein, D. (2012). Acupoint stimulation in treating psychological disorders: Evidence of efficacy. Review of General Psychology, 16(4), 364-380)

​

I am able to work with children and young people, with written parental consent, since I am a teacher graduate and have a post graduate teaching qualifications with  over 30 years experience working with children and young people.  I also work with adults. I can work in your child's local school (within Malvern or further by negotiation) with their permission (cost is £30 per 30 minute session for children) or you can come to me in Malvern. 

​

If you are interested, please get in touch.  Cost is £35 for a 45-50 minute session.  Includes mindfulness practices and reflective inquiry in each session.  I prefer to work in person with tapping but also work online if this is preferred by you.

 

Testimony

Anxiety and insomnia

Dee was very kind and demonstrated a good level of expertise along with an understanding of issues. I feel she maintained a level of professionalism whilst achieving a warm and supportive approach. This along with practical advice made my sessions with Dee very effective. I’m pleased to feel confident to offer this recommendation to others.
