Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), developed by Gary Craig, is a complementary mind-body approach that combines gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with focused attention on distressing thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations. The technique aims to reduce emotional intensity, promote relaxation, and support emotional regulation by addressing both psychological and physiological responses to stress. EFT can be used alongside evidence-based psychotherapy to help individuals manage anxiety, stress, trauma, limiting beliefs, performance anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. As a certified EFT practitioner, I integrate tapping thoughtfully within therapy when it aligns with a client’s goals, preferences, and overall treatment plan.

Advanced Trauma-Informed Care equips mental health professionals with deeper skills to understand, assess, and respond to the impact of trauma. It focuses on creating safe, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic environments while recognizing how trauma influences emotions, behaviour, relationships, and overall wellbeing. The training emphasizes evidence-informed interventions, nervous system regulation, cultural sensitivity, ethical practice, and strategies to prevent re-traumatization. It also strengthens clinicians’ ability to work with complex trauma presentations, build resilience, and support clients in their healing journey through compassionate, trauma-informed, and person-centred care.
