About EFT Tapping
Tapping Testimonial: "I had such a transformation in the session with Gail. Her caring approach put me at ease. We focused on my anxiety levels over a physical condition, and I have to say, it was highly effective. It felt like the after-effects of a pamper session."

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) – Tapping for Calm, Clarity and Confidence
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as Tapping, is a gentle, effective and scientifically backed therapy for reducing stress, anxiety, fears, pain and emotional blocks. By combining the power of talking therapy with light tapping on specific acupressure points, EFT helps calm your mind, release tension from your body and address the root causes of emotional and physical discomfort. Whether in person in Chepstow or online via Zoom, EFT can help you feel calmer, more confident and ready to move forward – often with noticeable results from the very first session.
What is EFT?
EFT is a safe, gentle and effective way to feel better about any area of life that causes upset or discomfort. It works to gently clear the root causes of anxiety, stress, fears, pain, and limiting beliefs, leading to significant improvements in your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Sessions take place in a calm, non-judgemental space – either at my therapy room in Chepstow or remotely via Zoom – where you are free to share your feelings, perhaps for the first time. Many people notice a sense of relief almost immediately.
How EFT Works
EFT is a talking therapy with a unique somatic (body-based) element, meaning we work with both the mind and body. While we talk about your concern or challenge, I guide you to gently tap on specific acupressure points on your hands, head and upper body. This combination helps to release tension and shift unhelpful thought patterns more quickly and deeply than talking therapy alone.
"I have had a few EFT sessions with Gail and l have had some amazing results. The first session she helped me with stress and to my surprise l have been feeling a lot calmer and more clear headed. Gail is so so easy to talk to and fun too." Client Kris S

The Science Behind EFT
Research shows that EFT helps calm the amygdala – the brain’s “fear centre” – which is triggered during stressful events or trauma. By calming this response, EFT allows your body to safely release negative emotions stored over time.
A growing body of scientific research supports the effectiveness of EFT for:
-
Anxiety and stress
-
PTSD and trauma
-
Depression and low mood
-
Chronic pain
-
Weight concerns
-
Phobias and fears
-
Addictions
