Transform your skills as an EFT therapist!
Advance your confidence with clients and learn the building blocks to effective therapy
Newly qualified and experienced EFT practitioners alike have told us that they sometimes feel unsure or under-prepared to manage complex clients and their issues.
Like those therapists, you may feel bogged down with the mass of information a client gives you. Sessions can become overwhelming, and it is easy to feel ‘stuck.’ You may feel you are going around in circles with a client or feel drained after a client session.
So if you have a desire to extend your skills and transform your client sessions then this course will be for you!
