thought field therapy (TFT)
Discovered and developed by Dr Roger Callahan, an American clinical psychologist with over 40 years of experience, Thought Field Therapy (TFT)is a totally unique therapy. It is best described as a natural, drug-free, non-invasive system to eliminate the root cause of negative emotions, and can be used to help treat a wide range of emotional and psychological problems.
TFT may offer relief from your emotional problems quickly and safely, with no side-effects and without the need for years of therapy. Many claim that TFT is the most effective psychotherapy ever discovered or devised, with many problems such as phobias and fears being resolved in a single session!

Who can benefit from TFT?
Thought Field Therapy may help in the treatment of the following negative emotions:
- traumas
- phobias
- anxieties
- guilt
- fears
- addictive behaviours
- bereavement
- anger
- embarrassment / shame
- general stress
- poor performance
How does TFT work?
Thought Field Therapy sees the cause of negative emotion as a 'perturbation' or disruption in a particular thought field - the thought associated with the particular event or situation that is causing the client's upset.
Using a precise and pre-defined sequence of gentle tapping on specific energy meridian points within the body, TFT may rapidly reduce and eliminate these perturbations and thus remove the corresponding negative emotion, often within minutes.

How successful is TFT?
At its highest level of proficiency Thought Field Therapy has an unprecedented success-rate of up to 97%, evidenced by a study carried out in 1986 and replicated in 1996 and 1998.
Paul McKenna, probably the most high-profile Psychotherapist in the UK, now uses TFT routinely in his work with complex cases and has found it an invaluable tool in his armoury of techniques. Paul has been demonstrating his confidence in TFT by using it with allegedly impossible cases in both of his Sky One TV series "I Can Change Your Life" and "Paul McKenna Will Make You Thin".
I am a TFT Algorithm Practitioner. In trials, Algorithm Practitioners have a consistent success rate of around 80%.

What happens at a treatment?
I will begin by talking to you about your problem(s). It is helpful for me to get a good understanding of the issues currently affecting you so that I can ensure the treatment is tailored to your specific problem. However, if your problem is especially traumatic for you to discuss, it is possible to conduct a treatment without discussing the issues affecting you at all. Please ask for more details if this applies to you.
Following this consultation, we will then begin the treatment itself. I will ask you to 'think and hold the thought' of your problem in your mind. I will then instruct you to tap with your fingertips on a series of pre-determined points on the body - on the face, hands, and upper body - in a particular sequence. This is a gentle, pain-free process and there is no need to remove any clothing. I will carefully guide you through the treatment, supporting you as we work to reduce and then finally eliminate your negative emotions.
Following your treatment, I will give you full information about how to treat yourself at home if a problem reoccurs or if it should need further treatment in an 'ongoing' situation which may cause fresh upsets.

How many sessions will you need?
For many TFT offers real, measurable and permanent relief from a variety of problems. Most common phobias and fears may be completely eliminated in minutes! That is not to say that every problem responds as quickly. Some problems require repeated treatments and corresponding shifts in lifestyle. However, most clients experience a significant improvement of the problem in the very first session, with an average number of sessions being between 1 and 3.
What if the problem comes back?
Occasionally, a problem that has yielded successfully to a treatment will reoccur. If that should happen, please contact me. Typically I will be able to successfully treat the problem again and also be able to start the process of determining why it returned. Once the correct reason has been determined, it may be a simple matter to eliminate it permanently.
Is TFT compatible with other therapies?
Yes, TFT is a great addition to any therapeutic plan or regime and also functions as a stand-alone therapy. Please contact me if you would like me to recommend an ongoing treatment plan, combining TFT with other therapies, for your specific needs.
TFT is described as a 'complementary' therapy, what does this mean?
Complementary therapies provide a gentle, safe and natural approach to health maintenance. These therapies do not seek to replace but rather to 'complement' conventional medical practices. Indeed, many clients often use complementary therapies alongside traditional medicine in the treatment of health conditions.
Complementary therapies are growing rapidly in the UK and across the world as people are increasingly turning to natural, alternative treatments both in the management of specific health complaints and also more generally in the commitment to their ongoing health and wellbeing.

What's the difference between TFT and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?
Gary Craig, the pioneer of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), learnt TFT from Callahan. Craig then devised his own version of the therapy which he coined EFT. Although many people do find EFT helpful in treating their emotional problems, EFT does not have the same proven success rates as TFT. I prefer to use the techniques taught by Callahan in TFT which represents the therapy in its purist form.

Please note that due to Advertising Standards Authority regulations, TFT Practitioners are restricted in the claims they can make for the treatment. Practitioners cannot diagnose or offer a 'cure'. Nor can they claim that the treatment 'can' or 'will' benefit a client, only that it 'might'. Regulations also prevent Practitioners advertising that TFT will help specific, named medical conditions, hence only general conditions are referenced above.
However, many clients claim very positive and dramatic improvements following treatment. Please see my Client Testimonials for a selection of comments from my current and past clients.
