Private EFT Tapping Sessions
Personalized One-on-One EFT for Stress, Anxiety, Emotional Healing & Lasting Change
Sometimes you know exactly what's bothering you. Other times, you just know something isn't right.
Maybe you're tired of worrying about things you can't control, reacting to situations in ways you don't understand, or carrying around emotions you thought you'd dealt with years ago.
Perhaps you've tried talking things through, thinking positively, or telling yourself to just let it go. You understand what's happening, but that hasn't changed how you're reacting or what you're going through.
That's where personalized EFT tapping can make a real difference.
I'm Kim, a Clinical Counsellor and EFT practitioner with over a decade of experience helping people work through emotional challenges.
Through private, one-on-one EFT sessions, we'll go beyond general tapping scripts to uncover and address the thoughts, beliefs, memories, and emotional patterns connected to what you're experiencing.
EFT is a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic approach that can produce meaningful changes in emotional and physical stress responses. I've experienced those changes personally and witnessed remarkable results throughout my professional practice.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, unresolved emotions, fears, limiting beliefs, or something you've struggled with for years, our work will be tailored specifically to you.

It's Nice to Meet You!
Reaching out for help isn't always easy. I understand that, both professionally and personally.
As a Clinical Counsellor we're encouraged to do our own personal therapy work, I know what it's like to be on the other side of the conversation. I've been there myself—nervous, unsure, and wondering what someone might think of me and my problems.
And I'll admit, those awkward movie scenes where someone lies on a couch while a therapist silently takes notes didn't exactly encourage me to seek help!
Thankfully, therapy doesn't have to look anything like that.
My approach is down-to-earth, practical, and collaborative. I'm not here to judge you, tell you how you should feel, or expect you to have everything figured out.
I'm here to help you work through what's bothering you.
My Personal Journey with EFT
I began practicing Emotional Freedom Techniques in 2014, initially working as a life coach after seeing how transformative tapping was in my own life
.
My interest in EFT was deeply personal. I struggled with debilitating anxiety, and it had reached a point where it was ruining my life.
I know firsthand how exhausting anxiety can be. The constant worry, the physical reactions, the avoidance, and the frustration of knowing your fears don't always make logical sense but being unable to stop them.
Discovering EFT changed my life.
The relief I experienced was so significant that I wanted to understand the process more deeply and help other people experience what I had.
After six years of coaching, I returned to school to become a Clinical Counsellor.
In my private counselling practice, I began integrating EFT into traditional talk-therapy sessions. I witnessed clients experiencing profound emotional shifts, often making progress more quickly than they had through talk therapy alone.
Those experiences reinforced what I'd already discovered personally: EFT could help people address emotional distress in ways that talking about their problems hadn't always accomplished.
Over time, I transitioned to focusing almost exclusively on EFT.
Today, I combine my clinical counselling education, extensive EFT experience, and personal understanding of emotional struggles to offer both the international online self-help tapping sessions you see on my social media channels, and personalized individual tapping sessions with clients. Private sessions offer something those universal resources simply can't: the opportunity to work directly with your unique experiences, explore what's underneath your emotional reactions, and choose the techniques best suited to you.
What Is EFT and Why Is It So Effective?
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often called tapping, is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that combines elements of modern psychology with acupoint stimulation rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.
It's a fascinating combination of Eastern and Western approaches to emotional well-being.
EFT involves gently tapping on specific acupoints while focusing on the thoughts, emotions, memories, or experiences contributing to distress.
The process incorporates principles of cognitive and exposure therapies, helping people work with difficult emotional experiences while stimulating the body's acupoints.
EFT has been studied in randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, with significant findings for anxiety, stress, trauma-related symptoms, and other psychological concerns.
What Does the Research Say?
EFT isn't simply a relaxation exercise or a collection of positive affirmations. It's a structured therapeutic method supported by a growing body of peer-reviewed research.
Research has demonstrated several important findings:
-
Stress reduction: A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials found significant reductions in psychological stress and measurable improvements in physiological stress.
-
Anxiety relief: A 2025 systematic review found significant anxiety reductions in all six studies comparing EFT with no intervention. Comparisons with active treatments also produced encouraging results.
-
Trauma-related symptoms: A 2025 meta-analysis found significant improvements in PTSD symptoms, alongside reductions in anxiety and depression. Benefits were maintained for up to three months in the studies examining follow-up outcomes.
-
Evidence-based practice: Clinical EFT has been evaluated against criteria established by the American Psychological Association's Division 12 Task Force for empirically supported treatments.
-
These findings help explain why EFT has become such an important part of my professional practice.
But beyond the research, I've witnessed its effectiveness firsthand.
I've worked with people who have carried emotional pain for years, struggled with overwhelming anxiety, or remained affected by experiences they thought they should have moved past long ago.
Watching someone experience relief from something that has weighed on them for so long is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
What Can Private EFT Help With?
People seek private EFT sessions for many different reasons. Sometimes there's one specific issue they want to resolve. Other times, several emotional challenges are connected.
Some common areas we can work on include:
Stress, Anxiety & Overthinking
Persistent worry, feeling overwhelmed, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, anticipating the worst, and the physical tension that often accompanies anxiety.
Fears & Phobias
Specific fears, avoidance, anticipatory anxiety, and strong emotional reactions to situations that may not pose an actual danger but still trigger distress.
Self-Confidence & Limiting Beliefs
Self-doubt, fear of failure, perfectionism, negative self-talk, feelings of inadequacy, and beliefs that interfere with personal growth.
Anger, Frustration & Resentment
Unresolved anger, lingering resentment, emotional triggers, and situations you continue replaying long after they've happened.
Past Experiences & Emotional Pain
Difficult memories, painful experiences, and emotional responses that continue affecting your life, even when you understand what happened.
Emotional Eating & Unwanted Patterns
Food cravings, emotional eating, procrastination, avoidance, resistance to change, and other patterns that can be difficult to interrupt through willpower alone.
Physical Responses to Stress
Stress-related tension, difficulty sleeping, headaches, and other physical experiences that may be influenced by emotional distress.
Life Transitions & Personal Challenges
Uncertainty, difficult decisions, major changes, feeling stuck, and challenges that affect your confidence or sense of stability.
You don't need to know exactly what's causing your difficulties before booking.
Sometimes the issue that brings someone to EFT is only the starting point. As we explore it, we may discover other thoughts, memories, beliefs, or emotional connections that help explain why the problem has continued.
That's one of the advantages of personalized EFT: we can follow the issue wherever it leads.
Why Private EFT Is Different from Following a Tapping Video
I believe everyone should have access to EFT. That's why I provide free guided tapping videos, educational resources, and self-help materials through Tap On That.
These are excellent tools for learning EFT and addressing common emotional challenges.
But universal tapping scripts have limitations.
A video about anxiety can address familiar thoughts and experiences, but it doesn't know what your anxiety is connected to.
It can't ask what happened when you first began reacting that way, explore a memory that suddenly comes up, or recognize when the issue you're tapping on is connected to something entirely different.
In private EFT sessions, we can do all of those things.
There's Much More to EFT Than the Basic Recipe
My free resources teach the foundational EFT tapping process, including the nine tapping points used in the Basic Recipe.
But that's only the beginning, there are 48 EFT techniques and all of my therapeutic approaches that I can draw from during private sessions.
Different techniques serve different purposes.
Some help identify specific emotional triggers. Others allow us to explore underlying beliefs, difficult memories, conflicting emotions, resistance, or different aspects of a problem.
Having these approaches available means we're not limited to repeating the same tapping formula regardless of what comes up.
The real skill in EFT isn't simply knowing where to tap. It's knowing what to tap on, when to explore an issue more deeply, when to shift direction, and which approach is most appropriate for the person you're helping.
That's where experience makes a difference.
Rather than trying to fit your experiences into a generic script, I'll help develop the tapping process around what you're actually going through.
Your Personal Peace Procedure: A Plan Created Just for You
One of the most valuable parts of my private EFT service is the development of your own Personal Peace Procedure.
This is more than a collection of tapping statements.
It's a personalized journal and roadmap that helps us identify the emotional experiences, memories, beliefs, and patterns you want to work through.
Instead of approaching every appointment as an isolated session, we build a plan that connects the different aspects of your experiences.
What Your Personalized EFT Work Includes
An Individualized Tapping Plan
We'll explore your concerns, identify emotional triggers and underlying patterns, and determine where to begin.
Custom Tapping Scripts
I'll create tapping scripts tailored specifically to your experiences. These scripts use language that reflects your own thoughts, concerns, and emotional responses rather than universal statements written for a broad audience.
You'll receive your personalized scripts to keep, allowing you to continue tapping independently whenever you need them.
Your Personal Peace Procedure Journal
Together, we'll develop a record of the issues we're addressing, connections we discover, and areas that still need attention. This helps us stay organized and work through different aspects of your concerns without losing sight of the bigger picture.
Progress Tracking
We'll monitor changes in emotional intensity, identify what has improved, and recognize what may need further attention.
Techniques You Can Use Independently
I'll help you become more comfortable using EFT yourself, so you have practical tools available outside our appointments.
The goal isn't simply to experience relief during a session. It's to work toward meaningful, lasting changes while developing skills you can continue using in everyday life.
What to Expect from Your Private EFT Sessions
Getting started is simple, and you don't need any previous experience with tapping.
1. Your Free Phone Consultation
We'll begin with a complimentary phone consultation.
This gives us an opportunity to discuss what you're hoping to work on, answer your questions, and determine whether we're a good fit.
I'll explain more about my approach and what you can expect from private EFT sessions.
There's no obligation to book an appointment.
2. Your First Appointment
If we decide to move forward, you'll complete intake forms before our first session.
We'll review your information, discuss your goals, and begin developing a collaborative plan.
You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. Part of my role is helping you identify the different emotional aspects of what you're experiencing.
3. Your Personalized Tapping Sessions
Each session is tailored to your individual needs. I'll guide you through the tapping process, selecting techniques and developing statements based on what we're working through. You're encouraged to participate actively.
If a statement doesn't fit, we'll change it. If a new thought or memory comes up, we can explore it. If something feels particularly important, we can spend more time there.
We'll continue developing your Personal Peace Procedure, creating personalized scripts, and tracking your progress as we work together.
How Quickly Can EFT Work?
One of the things I appreciate most about EFT is how quickly some people begin noticing changes.
Throughout my practice, I've seen clients experience significant emotional relief after just one or two sessions, particularly when addressing specific incidents or isolated concerns.
For more complex or longstanding challenges, there may be several layers of emotional material to explore.
In my experience, working through these deeper issues may involve approximately 12–20 sessions, depending on the person's history, goals, and response to treatment.
Some people achieve their goals in fewer appointments. Others prefer to continue working through additional concerns after experiencing progress with their original issue.
We'll review your progress together and adjust our plan as needed.
EFT can also produce a surprisingly strong emotional release.
Some clients leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded. Others find themselves tired afterward, much like the exhaustion that sometimes follows a really good cry. That kind of cathartic experience can be part of emotional processing, and it's perfectly fine to give yourself time to rest afterward.
Everyone responds differently, but the changes people experience can be profound.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to tap before booking?
Not at all. I'll guide you through the tapping points and explain what we're doing as we go.
What if I don't know what's causing my anxiety or emotional reactions?
That's perfectly fine. Identifying the different aspects of an issue is part of our work together. Sometimes people discover connections between their current reactions and earlier experiences that they hadn't previously considered.
Will I have to talk about painful experiences in detail?
Not necessarily. EFT offers different approaches for working with difficult emotional material, including techniques that don't require describing every detail of an experience. We'll discuss your comfort level and select an approach appropriate for you.
How is EFT different from traditional talk therapy?
Traditional talk therapy often focuses on discussing experiences, understanding patterns, and developing strategies for change. EFT combines psychological techniques with acupoint stimulation, allowing us to work directly with the emotional intensity associated with thoughts, memories, and experiences.
In my own practice, I've witnessed clients experience significant shifts through EFT, sometimes more quickly than they had through talking about the same concerns. My clinical counselling background also helps inform how I approach emotional issues and select appropriate techniques.
Please don't misunderstand me, I love talk-therapy - psychologytoday offers a directory of therapists in your area, if that's what you are look for. I've just found using EFT brought results faster to my clients, and that is what I focus almost exclusively on.
Can children participate in EFT?
Yes. Although my previous private counselling practice primarily served people aged 16 and older, I also consider younger clients for EFT-only sessions. We can discuss suitability, consent, and parental involvement during the consultation.
Do you work with addictions or grief?
I don't provide specialized treatment for addictions or grief. I'm happy to suggest appropriate referral options for those concerns.
Will I receive personalized scripts?
Yes. Creating individualized tapping scripts is an important part of my private EFT service. You'll receive your custom scripts to keep and use independently.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the concerns you're addressing. Some isolated issues may respond within one or two sessions. More complex or longstanding challenges can involve several connected emotional experiences and require additional work. We'll monitor your progress and make decisions together about the next steps.
Take the First Step Toward Emotional Freedom
You don't have to keep carrying the same emotional burdens simply because they've been part of your life for a long time. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, resentment, fear, self-doubt, emotional triggers, or patterns that seem impossible to change, EFT offers a powerful way to work through the emotions connected to those experiences.
I've experienced its effectiveness in my own life and witnessed meaningful changes in the lives of people I've worked with. That's why I'm so passionate about sharing it.
Private EFT gives us the opportunity to go beyond the basics, explore what's underneath your challenges, and develop a personalized approach to helping you move forward.
