Trauma Focused EFT (TF-EFT)
A new, integrative and dynamic approach to EFT designed specifically for work with trauma
Trauma-Focused EFT (TF-EFT) is a highly integrative and dynamic therapeutic approach designed specifically for working with trauma. It builds upon existing EFT techniques while incorporating a structured protocol that addresses the mind-body connection, the nervous system, and the gut-brain axis.

FAQs
Find the answers to our top most frequently asked questions.
While EFT has shown promising results for trauma, existing protocols do not always fully consider the unique needs of trauma clients. To gain wider recognition, such as potential approval from NICE in the UK, a structured, manualised model—similar to EMDR—was needed. TF-EFT provides this framework, offering a systematic, safe, and effective approach to trauma healing.

Kind Words From Our Clients

"Training with George is a wonderful experience. George explained the basic EFT processes with clarity and precision and managed to tailor the training to include people's input and queries as they arose. Furthermore, delicate and emotional subjects were dealt with in a very safe and secure way so that one left feeling energised and enthused, and determined to return for further training. The booklet we received meant we had a useful record of the day's information without the need for constantly writing. Roll on Level Two!"

"I loved how George balanced direct instruction with time to watch a demonstration of a particular EFT skill and time to practice what we had just learned in small groups in both my basic Level 1 and 2 EFT certification training as well as in my Level 3. He is also an EFT trainer and supervisor who models as well as teaches an ethical code of professional conduct at the highest level."
