EFT Tapping for Stress & Performance Anxiety in Tye Green

EFT is recognised as an evidence-based stress reduction technique, not simply a relaxation exercise. It pairs a physical element, tapping on acupressure points, with focused attention on the issue, which research suggests helps calm the body's stress response more effectively than either part alone.

EFT, or tapping, is an evidence-based technique combining gentle tapping on acupressure points with focused attention to reduce stress and anxiety. It helps with managing anxiety, overcoming emotional blocks, processing difficult feelings and building resilience. It can be a standalone session or combined with massage.

Yes. Fiona often combines EFT with massage for clients from Tye Green who want to address physical tension and emotional stress together. This joined-up approach can work better than treating the two separately, especially when stress is contributing to muscular tension. You can also keep the session purely to tapping.

Yes. Fiona welcomes clients from Tye Green and the wider area to her clinic at The Manor Health & Wellness Centre, 11 Manor Road, Colchester CO3 3LX. EFT can be booked as a standalone session or combined with massage in the same appointment.

Yes, this is one of the areas where EFT is particularly effective. Many athletes and performers use tapping in the days or hours before an event to manage nerves and settle an overactive stress response, without needing to talk the underlying issue through in detail.

Each session starts with a short conversation about what you want to work on, then Fiona guides you through tapping on specific acupressure points while you hold focused attention on the concern. She repeats and refines the sequence as the feeling shifts, and can teach you sequences to use yourself.

Fiona is a qualified EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Practitioner and holds a BA Honours degree in Counselling. She is also trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), bringing several complementary approaches to emotional and mental wellbeing, backed by over 25 years in health and wellness.

EFT follows the same pricing as massage treatments, from £45 for 30 minutes up to £80 for 90 minutes, with a one-hour session at £60 the most popular choice. A course of six one-hour sessions is available for £300, saving £60. Payment is by cash, bank transfer or card.

No. EFT does not require you to talk through every detail of an issue for it to work. The technique focuses on where the feeling shows up and tapping through it, so it can be effective even when you would rather not go into the underlying cause.

Many clients notice a shift after just one or two sessions, though ongoing sessions can help with deeper or longer-standing issues. The right number depends entirely on what you are working through, from a single upcoming event to a longer pattern of anxiety or grief.
