Emotional Freedom Technique

A simple tool to calm your mind and body.

EFT, often called tapping, is a gentle technique that helps reduce stress, anxiety and unhelpful emotional patterns. It involves lightly tapping with your fingertips on specific acupuncture points while you focus on the thoughts or feelings you want to shift.

It is relatively simple to learn and can be used as a practical self-help technique between sessions.

Many people find EFT helpful for:


• Reducing anxiety and overwhelm
• Managing stress and tension in the body
• Easing phobias and fears
• Letting go of unhelpful habits
• Challenging limiting beliefs
• Supporting better sleep
• Building confidence and emotional balance

EFT combines focused attention with physical tapping. Some research suggests it may help reduce feelings of distress, although researchers continue to investigate exactly how and why it may work. This helps you feel more grounded and in control, even when life feels demanding.

​How a session works

Your session is relaxed, supportive and tailored to you. We talk briefly about the issue you want to work on, then move through a simple tapping sequence together. You set the pace and I guide you with clear, straightforward steps.

Some people notice a change during the first session, while others find that the technique becomes more useful with practice.

You will also learn how to use tapping at home. This gives you a practical tool you can rely on whenever you need it.

In-person or online

Sessions are available online or in person at The Crichton in Dumfries. EFT can be practised effectively online or in person, so you can choose the setting that feels most comfortable.
