Trauma
Trauma doesn’t lie in the event itself, but in the beliefs the mind creates around it, as well as in the body’s response to the experience. EFT will help to release negative thoughts, memories and emotions and can relieve the symptoms of panic attacks, trauma, PTSD & phobias.
Physical symptoms
EFT can help you work through the stresses that are causing blocks in your body’s energy, resulting in pain. With the stresses released, energy flows as it should & pain is relieved. Cravings can be tapped away too, which makes EFT a great weight-loss tool.
Emotional issues
EFT stimulates the body’s energy points, which are known as meridians. This is highly effective in reducing stress, anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed – amongst many other issues. EFT works by restoring balance to the body’s disrupted energy.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, can help with the wide variety of personal, emotional and psychological stresses that we all feel from time to time. If there is an aspect of your life that troubles you and makes you feel out of balance, together we will navigate to the root cause of the issue. Then, by combining my intuition and guidance with EFT practice, we can work on a solution. Often, this can result in a profound change in your mindset, leaving you feeling uplifted, as well as bringing you clarity and peace of mind.
In addition to EFT, I am also an accredited Matrix Reimprinting and Matrix Birth Reimprinting practitioner. Matrix allows you to connect with your younger self and equips you with the tools you need for self empowerment, as you move forward. This delicate work keeps you safely dissociated from the trauma, thus avoiding the risk of being retraumatised.
My approach
With my guidance and support, we can find the root of many self-limiting beliefs, thus allowing healing, growth and recovery – clients may feel a rapid and measurable difference in their health and wellbeing. With this in mind I encourage my clients to use EFT in between sessions, to work through the uncomplicated day-to-day issues, it’s simple to grasp and easy to practice at home.
I work in partnership with my clients, employing different methods, as well as EFT and Matrix, we practise meditation, visualisation and breathing techniques, I encourage clients to use daily positive affirmations and to notice their thought process. By becoming aware of negative thoughts we can begin to rewire our thought process – ultimately achieving a more healthy, relaxed and peaceful mindset.

How does EFT work?
EFT is a form of acupressure based on the same energy meridians as those used in acupuncture, but without the needles. It is sometimes known as psychological acupuncture. Tapping helps clients access the body’s energy & sends signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. Tapping works to rewire the brain, to change neuropathways so that client leans towards better health and wellbeing choices.
EFT is a perfectly gentle, safe and powerful method for eliminating the burden of emotional and physical pain as well as increasing feelings of intense wellbeing. It teaches that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system, which creates blockages. EFT releases the blockages that are established when a person thinks about or becomes involved in an emotionally upsetting issue. When this blockage is removed, balance is restored.
About Matrix Reimprinting
Clients may not know that there is a memory that needs clearing – they may present with something that is causing an issue or distress in their life and we’ll work together to find the cause and resolve it. Using matrix reimprinting the client visualises and taps on their younger self, in a disassociated way, accepting then freeing the emotional charge from the trauma, reimprinting a new affirmative perspective in the mind and body.
Clients may experience a huge shift, increase in confidence, and a feeling of calm and lightness once they have freed themselves of the traumatic memory through the reframing of the event. This simple and extremely gentle technique that will enable clients to rewrite their past and transform their future.

About Me
Catherine Everett
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practitioner
Whilst I have always been interested in energy healing, it was my daughter’s response to this technique which led me to becoming a practitioner. When she was 10 years old she began experiencing frequent and acute panic attacks around a fear of death and her loved ones dying. I took her to see a child psychologist who used EFT on her. She saw the psychologist twice, purely for EFT. The panic attacks disappeared immediately, and have never returned. I was so impressed by this technique and I knew I had to have it in my life. I immediately trained in EFT. I love people and I am passionate about my work.
I am accredited and registered with EFT International. EFTi is committed to advancing and upholding the highest standards for education, training, professional development and promotion of the skillful, creative and ethical application of EFT for global public benefit.
Catherine always got me to a positive place by the end of the session, even on days when I felt extremely low. I can’t recommend Catherine highly enough

Testimonials
A transformational experience . . .Working with Catherine was a transformational experience. I found her whilst recovering from a very painful relationship break down. Together we uncovered that much of the pain I was experiencing had not only led me to make repeated bad choices in relationships but was due to my inner child being at the helm of my life.
Catherine and I worked using the Matrix method to nurture my inner child, to hear her and to create new and lasting memories with her. I keep them in a pocket in my heart. I’m thrilled to say that it has had a lasting effect and I am free from toxic relationships. More importantly I have learned to listen to and love my inner child.
Catherine is an extremely compassionate and intuitive therapist who safely guided me through this process and helped me make connections within myself which I was previously blind to. Thank you so much Catherine, I’ll treasure our time working together.
Releasing my fears . . .I started EFT with Catherine at a very difficult time in my life. It is hard to put into words how much Catherine and this therapy helped me. I had some deep rooted traumas which Catherine dealt with in the most sensitive, intuitive way, always following my lead so that I felt safe.
It was quite remarkable how easily I was able to move past things using the pressure points to reprogramme my brain. The technique really works and I had many break throughs with Catherine’s gentle support and guidance. She helped me to reframe my attitude towards my tumour, and also to release my fear around chemotherapy.
Catherine always got me to a positive place by the end of the session even on days when I felt extremely low. I can’t recommend Catherine highly enough. She is so compassionate, kind and non-judgemental. She kept me strong through the most difficult year of my life.
Healing historic burdens . . .I have received great benefit from Catherine’s EFT therapy. Catherine has a considered and kind approach with an intuitive sense of the likely underlying cause of an emotional blockage, or physical pain.
Carefully, and without judgment, she has guided me to revisit events from the past in a safe and trusting environment. This has allowed me to reframe and heal historic episodes; so as to live a life free from their burden. Catherine has also equipped me to use the tapping therapy independently – as a result, I am able to access this resource at any time.
Nourishing my soul . . .Catherine was recommended to me, after a very traumatic time of my life. The sessions were important to my healing, and allowed me to piece things back together and move forward. I had tried other methods of counselling prior to Catherine, and it was the tapping that eventually allowed me to regain who I was and become strong again.
Catherine does so much more than guiding you through the tapping, her intuition and ability to tune in to your emotions is a skill that can’t be learnt. I will be constantly returning to tapping and Catherine throughout my life, to reset, keep in touch with who I am and nourish my soul.
Calm, peaceful & light . . .I suffered a bereavement, and was wracked with guilt having not been in touch with my aunty for a while. Catherine very quickly managed to pin point exactly what was needed to help me move forward. The raw feelings disappeared and I was left feeling calm, peaceful and light.
On another occasion Catherine I also had instant results which were invaluable to me. I was running the Brighton marathon and had trained hard for a long time and had been waiting for 18 months to actually take part. I became deeply anxious about the expectation from others and myself. I was fearful that I wouldn’t sleep the night before and therefore perform badly.
Catherine was amazing. We had a lovely session together where I could feel the tension leaving my body. She gave me a self-tapping sequence to follow if I couldn’t sleep or woke during the night. I was delighted in the morning – not only had I fallen asleep without my mind on overdrive, but also when I did wake in the night, I followed the tapping sequence and within minutes was sleeping again. I performed well at the race, with the comfort of having a good nights sleep. I am deeply grateful to Catherine.
A tool in my armour . . .I have a brain tumour that was causing up to five seizures a day. As a result I had difficulty walking and crippling anxiety. I was heavily medicated with anti epileptic drugs but they weren’t working. Anxiety was a trigger for my seizures. Using EFT Catherine helped free me of anxiety, I felt more confident, less anxious, my walking improved immediately and I even had less seizures. I am now running and bike riding again. This proved more effective than years of medication! Catherine really found the root cause of my anxiety and released it.
A year later I started chemotherapy. I was too scared to take the first dose. Through Catherine’s gentle guidance, tapping, and assistance with reprogramming my thought process, she helped me take it painlessly.
Catherine has added additional tools to my armour against my medical issues. My day to day living is now amazing, and I’m physically better than I’ve been in years. I’m eternally grateful for her help and support through some of the most difficult and challenging times of my life. I’m blown away with how effective this therapy is.
