The Havening Techniques® are a new ground-breaking Neuroscientific Technique, that uses sensory touch to permanently remove the negative feelings associated with a distressing event.  As a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, I will teach you how to apply the self-Havening Touch, a transformational, therapeutic tool that uses gentle self-touch to the face, hands or arms.  

My first experience of using the Havening Techniques®  made it possible for me to cross a bridge I had previously avoided or had to U-turn after many failed attempts to cross. My friend could see my disappointment and distress and asked if I would like to try the Havening Touch to help me overcome my fear.  Within 5 minutes I was able to walk over the bridge with ease and confidence, to my amazement, my anxiety had disappeared. I wanted to learn more.

 I am qualified in a range of techniques, I have studied Humanistic integrative therapies, completing a Counselling degree in 2014. I am currently a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapist (MBACP).

Safeguarding the wellbeing of clients is paramount, providing a safe and confidential space to facilitate the opportunity for personal change. I a have Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis, an Education and Training qualification and am a Mindfulness instructor. Having Incorporated each modality in a Body and Mind Wellness Programme.

I see the Havening Techniques, as a powerful tool for encouraging positive change, adding a significant and complimentary impact to my own therapeutic practice. Each session is person-centred and client led, focusing on meeting the needs of the individual and what feels right for them. I have found The Havening Techniques® makes change possible, creating the opportunity for positive and personal growth which can take place when using a resilient framework to address persistent negative emotions without the need to revisit and reinforce self-sabotaging beliefs.
