About EFT

Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT as it's more commonly known is a very simple technique which is taught to the client so they can use it in their own time to deal with a wide range of issues. Our Therapists are trained to practice this technique as well as being certified trainers, which means we can teach this to other therapists and qualify them as Practioners.

The technique is an interesting one which originates from the same theory as Accupunture and Accupressure. It does not use needles however, only "tapping" with the fingers on the 14 Major meridian points in the body.

Although it is rooted in the ancient Chinese art of Acupunctureridian, Meridian Therapy is a fairly new therapy.. The connection is the belief in the existence of energy channels in the body known as meridians. The meridians or certain points on the meridians are lightly tapped while certain phrases are repeated. It is really a combination of Acupressure and Psychotherapy designed to reduce trauma and feelings of discomfort surrounding personal problems, habits, phobias, issues or reccurring memories. Meridian Therapy is an umbrella term for many techniques, but perhaps the best known is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). This was developed by Gary Craig, a Stanford trained engineer turned personal trainer/therapist. It is his Discovery Statement: "The cause of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body's energy system" that forms the basis of this treatment. The procedure is designed to change and release memories and thoughts connected with certain issues in order to rebalance the energy system. It has become very popular with modern therapists because of its rapid results, releasing phobias, addictions (such as chocolate, and yes, sometimes smoking in just one session).
Like all therapies, it will not work for everyone but we find it to be a fantastic tool in our toolkit for working with problems from Phobias through to physical pain. Our therapists will often use EFT in conjunction with Hypnotherapy as we find it to be very effective.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model of communication that focuses on identifying and using patterns of thought that influence a person's behaviour as a means of improving the quality and effectiveness of their lives. It offers a paradigm of how the brain works (neuro), about how language interacts with the brain (linguistic), and how we use this interaction to get the results we want for ourselves and others (programming). It is an effective, proven vehicle for accelerated human change, radically altering the "old way" of lengthy psychotherapy. NLP was initially created by linguist Dr. John Grinder and computer scientist and Gestalt therapist Dr. Richard Bandler. Together they produced a linguistic model that identified the language patterns of a few gifted individuals such as hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, MD., Fritz Perls of Gestalt therapy, anthropologist Gregory Bateson and Virginia Satir of family systems therapy. The synthesis of their findings, a blend of cognitive and behavioural science, resulted in the technology known as Neuro Linguistic Programming. In the 20+ years since it was first developed, NLP has grown, changed and expanded, and it continues to do so today. The Washington School of Clinical and Advanced Hypnosis' NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner Courses are validated by the National Federation of Neuro Linguistic Psychology, one of the largest NLP Certifying Agencies in the world. These courses cover both traditional and non traditional NLP techniques and models. For students who wish to go beyond Master Practitioner Training, we can support you becoming a Certified Trainer of NLP. Both the Practitioner and Master Practitioner Courses are stand alone courses in their own right, but the Practitioner Course is also contained within the Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnosis. Please note the NLP Master Practioner Courses are currently held in Manchester and London centres only.
