E.F.T for Children with Anxiety
Support for children and young people struggling with anxiety
Anxiety is rife at the moment, and sadly even more so for children and young people. It can affect us all in a number of different ways, and there is no better tool (in my opinion!) than E.F.T. to help manage and release anxiety - especially for children and young people.
Once they've learnt it, it can be available to them anywhere, any time, day or night - literally at their fingertips.
Children respond so quickly and effectively to this technique - it's brilliant!
Anxiety can affect different children in different ways, and it's not always immediately obvious to spot. Here's a list of some common symptoms you may not always associate with anxiety:
-
For some it's a very physiological response - complaints of tummy aches or headaches for example, or getting hot and sweaty, fidgety and anxious.
-
For others a lack of focus and an inability to concentrate.
-
For others sleep becomes disturbed.
-
Some may start having angry outbursts, and have a high need for control over little things.
-
They may start to withdraw from social situations, where previously they were confident and happy
EFT can help reduce and alleviate these symptoms.
In my experience, the best results are when I work together with the parents /guardians as a team, to really support the child/ young person.
I work via zoom, offering 1:1, family support sessions, as well as running group workshops for parents/guardians or professionals working with children and young people.
Introductory Workshop to help your Anxious Child using E.F.T. tapping
An online 90 minute practical introduction to using Emotional Freedom Technique (E.F.T. / tapping) to help your anxious child.
Suitable for any Parent or Care-giver wishing to learn how this fantastic technique can quickly be applied to help reduce anxiety in children of any age from 5+

Work with me:
I offer an initial 90 minute consultation for parents/ guardians, without the child present. Here we explore whats going on for a child, and how it's impacting them and you!
I teach the parent/guardian E.F.T. tapping, for themselves, so they can support the child, and we discuss the needs of the individual child and family and how best to work together.
My expectation is that the Parent / Guardian continues to tap on themselves and to support the child in tapping regularly too.
Sometimes I work solely with the parent/guardian, and this can create big shifts in the family dynamics.
I can also work with the child and Parent/Guardian together and we will explore this in our initial consultation - as to how best together we can support the needs of the child. I see it very much as a team effort!
When working with a family, depending on the age of the child, and circumstance, we look at exploring whats going on for them. We look at identifying and understanding triggers; helping to understand more about how thoughts and feelings can impact one another, and to recognise whats happening, and how to de-esculate and reduce those strong feelings and emotions using E.F.T. tapping so they are not so powerful and overwhelming. Once the skills is mastered I encourage everyone to try it on everything!
Currently all sessions are held on Zoom.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
