Elaine O'Dwyer - Psychotherapy & EFT Tapping
Psychotherapy Sessions
I’m passionate about helping individuals with anxiety-related issues learn how to calm their anxiety, practice self-soothing without reassurance seeking, rediscover their authentic selves and gain freedom from their fears. My practice primarily focuses on anxiety, including health anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, panic attacks, generalised anxiety disorder, relationship anxiety, and trauma. My practice is neuro-affirming, providing a safe and welcoming space.
As an Integrative therapist, I utilise different methods to best suit the needs of the client. These include Person-Centred methods, which focus on the client's unique experiences and the belief that each individual has the capacity for growth and change, with an emphasis on the client's strengths, and moving at their pace. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help client's challenge unhelpful thinking habits. I emphasize the mind-body connection using tools such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to release stuck tension in the body.
​
EFT is a technique that combines self-applied acupressure or "tapping" on specific meridian points on the top half of the body while focusing on your thoughts and feelings. By combining the two, it has been proven to interrupt the stress response and send calming signals to the brain. Clients frequently report feeling very calm and present afterward.
​
Over time from working in my practice I've discovered that Psychotherapy and Tapping work very well together. Tapping helps to regulate clients and make them feel calm as they discuss and process difficult emotions and memories without becoming overwhelmed. It also helps them to leave the session feeling grounded. Tapping teaches the client how to self-soothe and becomes a tool that they can use outside of sessions.
