EFT Training

2 day Practitioner course

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is part of a wider group of techniques collectively known as Meridian Energy Therapies (MET) or Energy Psychology. EFT is the best known and most widely used.

Meridian Energy Therapies are gentle, rapid and startlingly effective. During this training you will learn how to apply EFT to manage negative emotions and disempowering beliefs. The gradual removal of these reduces stressful thoughts and frees up energy so we can function better mentally, emotionally and physically.

Who is the course for?
Our practitioner training is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the basic principles of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Meridian Energy Therapies. This training is suitable for therapists who wish to include this technique into their practice.

What are the course objectives?
The objectives of this fully interactive and hands on two day course are to:
- Provide you with the skills, confidence and practical ability to present and use EFT
in your practice effectively and successfully
- Prepare to (and beyond) the standards required of the AMT certification examination paper.

-EFT is a powerful energy based intervention and therefore the course includes mindfulness exercises such as simple meditations and energy forms to increase mental focus, awareness and energy. These are invaluable to increase practitioner’s effectiveness with this technique and as an added benefit they enhance well being on every level.

Comments from Previous Course Delegates:

I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. It exceeded my expectations in the amount of material covered and the way it was delivered. I can’t think of anything I would change. Sara

The course was well presented and the pacing was good. I enjoyed the opportunity to practice the new skills in a safe environment. Louise

I enjoyed the weekend very much – learning how to use EFT and its different aspects has given me more confidence. Shirley

I found it all interesting and useful. I felt it flowed well and there was a good level of content, interaction and support. Kim

The weekend was extremely informative and it was great to hear shared experiences. I enjoyed the style of the facilitators. Sue

The balance between information and interaction was fab. I liked being able to work with other people and seeing the results. Now I feel I can use this technique with confidence. Carole

I liked the practical approach to real issues. Cathy

Brilliant, warm, friendly, interactive. The small size of the class made me comfortable from the start. Frances

Informative. Presented well. Pace good. Wanda

Small informal group. Good Teachers who engaged with everyone. Very inspiring. Donna

Brilliant. The most generous presenters. I very much look forward to using EFT with my clients - and doing the Advanced Course. Cathy

The style was very good. I am an impatient man and the weekend went in a flash. To me that proves the interest, content & pace were just right. Darren

EFT is IMMENSE!!! The course had a good mix of mental & physical. Mel

I enjoyed the weekend, it was fantastic. I would just like to say to anyone who is thinking of doing the course - go for it. The trainers, the content, the size and the individual members of the group made this a fantastic personal experience for me - and although you are being trained to be a practitioner - for me a major personal transformation occurred in getting rid of a limiting belief that I have held for a long time. I am now very confident in understanding and using tapping and happily recommend it to anyone. It has given me a huge enthusiasm & confidence in the subject. The small group and the passion and empathy of Penny & Cathy were great. It has made a big difference.  Louise

A whole new approach clearly and enthusiastically presented with lots of extras. There was time to discuss and to practice. It was a great weekend with a lovely atmosphere and loads of useful stuff to help clients and for self-development too. I can now see loads of great applications for EFT and will feel a lot more confident in using it. Thank you to all of the group and huge thank yous to Cathy and Penny. I enjoyed the course very much. Jane

I now understand energy and it’s power in more detail and how EFT can help in so many different ways. I can now use EFT more in my practice. I enjoyed the course and the small group. Maggie

It was great. Good use of material, theory and practice in the 2 days. I enjoyed it very much. The weekend was a joy with great hands on teaching and support from fellow students. It’s opened my eyes to so many new areas. Fantastic EFT training. Thanks to Penny & Cathy. Andy

Absolutely fabulous. I liked the flexibility and the practical exercises. The course is very insightful and I have used EFT heavily on some family members this weekend, with some amazing results....it's been a god sent blessing. The course is very interesting and jam packed with wholesome techniques and teachings....all of which are easily digestible with very strong evidence at a personal level of how effective they are. I totally recommend it. The atmosphere created by Cathy and Penny offers a great learning experience, which is relaxed yet very productive. Thank you Cathy and Penny for such an amazing weekend. It was perfect. Mani

It was really such a wonderful experience to take part in this course! Now when I'm back to Lithuania seeing my clients intensively and using EFT successfully for a few days and getting amazing results! During the breaks doing the Chi-Kung exercises myself and some of them teaching to the clients...It all works wonderfully. Thank you very much for the great opportunity to learn and do it together with a little and great group of wonderful people! Wonderful. I enjoyed it very much. I liked the way Cathy and Penny worked. I am happy to recommend it to anyone who would like a deeper insight into EFT practice. Agne

I particularly liked the breadth of the techniques explored and demonstrated. It was all very informative and useful. Explained clearly and enthusiastically. Mel

Very enlightening. I now feel confident about practising EFT with clients. David

It was wonderful. It contained so much more than I was expecting. The small group made practice and openness easy. There is nothing I would change. Brenda

A great big thank you for the EFT course, which was fabulous and I'm so excited by the prospect of using EFT in my work. Great content clearly explained. Warm friendly trainers. Lots of hints, tips and extras. A fabulous weekend's EFT training.  I haven't enjoyed a workshop so much for a long time. A great mixture of information, practice - and laughter. I certainly got rid of some stuff on the EFT course.  I felt for so long that I would never be good enough to do what I want to do - now just let me at it!  All for a bit of tapping.  A very dear friend who patiently lets me practise all my new therapies on him is a bit gobsmacked at the power of our session, Dawn

The course was absolutely fantastic, a real life changing experience both for myself and my clients. Friendly and professional trainers. Easy pace with great learning. Great location. David

Thanks a lot for a lovely weekend. It contained so much more than EFT. Yes, I have the confidence now to explain EFT to my clients and actually use it. But I also know so much more about my own energy and emotions and how to use a range of techniques to prepare for and improve the way I work with my clients. If you are in 2 minds (as I was) - give it a go. Oh and forgot to say it was fun too. Thank you both I really enjoyed it and wouldn’t change a thing. Laurie

Very well organised and paced. Content excellent and presenters knowledgeable and engaging. Catherine

I enjoyed the weekend very much. There was nothing I would change about the course – perfect! Mike

I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend – it flew by too quickly. I particularly liked the practical application, the pace, that it was a small group and Penny & Cathy! Sue
