Who do you work with?

What is EFT tapping?

Clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a highly effective stress reduction technique. It uses a combination of cognitive therapy, whilst self-tapping on specific points on your body. Often just called ‘Tapping’ it can address a range of issues and has been proven to be highly successful for tackling stress, anxiety, depression, pain and self-confidence.

How does hypnotherapy help?

Clinical hypnotherapy can manage stress and anxiety by targeting thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to it. Hypnosis integrates new strategies and positive messages into the unconscious mind, making them more accessible when needed. Clients often report feeling more relaxed and in control after sessions.

Generally, between 6 to 10 sessions is the average number required for lasting change, however this is entirely dependent on the individual circumstances of the client. You may require less, or more.
