I have been practicing EFT for a while and decided I would go for Accreditation, as I have found this to be excellent and very successful with clients who have suffered trauma. I integrate this into my practice where I feel it helpful for clients.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often referred to as tapping, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines elements of psychology with gentle tapping on specific acupressure points. EFT supports emotional regulation by helping to reduce distress linked to stress, trauma, anxiety, low mood, and limiting beliefs.

By focusing on both the mind and body, EFT can help calm the nervous system, process difficult emotions, and create lasting emotional relief.

Feeling a bit rotten this morning as full of cold, self soothed on my way to work acknowledging that I feel a bit rubbish and it’s ok to feel that. Then walked into my therapy room and cried…. There is so much love here at the everyone cares for each other and the energy is beautiful. Thank you so much…. Turning 40 will be a blast… 10 days to go 😂💋

Body-doubling is widely praised in ADHD communities because the simple presence of another person can boost focus, motivation, and accountability, helping with executive function challenges like task initiation and time blindness. It works by creating gentle external pressure, increasing engagement through social facilitation, and reducing task paralysis by making the start feel less overwhelming. For many, this acts as external scaffolding for the brain systems that manage planning and follow-through. It can be done in person by working beside someone, or virtually through video calls where each person focuses on their own tasks. The other person does not need to help. Their quiet presence alone can anchor attention, though it may feel distracting for some.

I don’t usually watch 24 hours in Custody on Channel 4. Heartbreaking watch regarding sexual abuse. A 13 year old boy dismissed by the police could have saved many other boys from being drugged and r***d, stabbed and potentially murdered if they had only listened. Those poor boys, now men, re traumatised. 💔

BLUE MONDAY DOESN’T DEFINE YOUR YEAR. IT CAN SIMPLY BE A REMINDER THAT MENTAL WELLBEING IS SOMETHING WE NURTURE DAY BY DAY, NOT SOMETHING WE PERFECT OVERNIGHT.

To parents who want the best for their children ❤️

It’s natural to want them to succeed.
But sometimes, without meaning to, pressure to “do well” can sound like:
• “You’re only good enough if you achieve”
• “Failure isn’t safe here”

Children don’t just hear our words, they absorb the messages behind them and internalise them in a way that may not have been intended.

Success can also look like:
✔ resilience
✔ self-belief
✔ emotional wellbeing
✔ knowing they are valued even when they struggle
✔️ creativity
✔️ knowing what they don’t want and what they do want

Exams are important, but they are not everything.

Your child is already enough ❤️
