Practitioner Introduction
I work with people who feel stuck, not through lack of effort, but because the patterns they are carrying are held in the body and nervous system, not just in the mind.
My specialist areas include anxiety, hypervigilance, low self-worth, past emotional traumas resulting in ADHD challenges in adults, and limiting beliefs.
At the heart of my practice is Advanced EFT. Where many approaches ask you to think differently about a problem, EFT works directly with the feeling itself, gently engaging the body's own stress response system to release the emotional charge held in specific memories, patterns and beliefs. It is precise, it is body based, and for many clients it reaches places that years of talking simply could not. At Level 3, I work with complex and layered presentations, supporting clients to process experiences that may have been carried for a very long time.
Alongside EFT, I use Matrix Reimprinting to work with the earlier memories and core beliefs that often sit beneath the surface, Hypnotherapy to update the automatic patterns running in the subconscious, and NLP to support shifts in how clients relate to their own internal world. Together these approaches allow me to meet each person where they are, rather than applying a single method to every situation.
I hold a Level 3 EFT certification (originally completed 2009, recertified 2025) and a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner qualification (2009, recertified 2025). My additional qualifications include a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP Practitioner, and Thought Field Therapy DX Advanced Practitioner.
What shapes my work most is lived experience. I have personally navigated intense anxiety, hypervigilance, self-worth struggles, and the kind of internal overwhelm that is hard to explain to anyone who has not been there. These were not academic interests, they were things I needed to find a way through. That is why I do this work, and it is what allows me to sit with clients and genuinely understand where they are.

About This Practitioner
My name is Phil. I am a practitioner in Advanced EFT, Matrix Reimprinting, Hypnotherapy and NLP, based in Northamptonshire and working with clients online across the UK.
I came to this work the long way round. Before training formally as a therapist, I spent years in professional kitchens, an environment that demands focus, resilience and the ability to function under sustained pressure. What I did not fully understand at the time was that I was also quietly navigating my own internal world, one shaped by anxiety, hypervigilance, and a deep sense of not quite fitting the mould I was supposed to fit.
It was through discovering EFT and related approaches that things began to shift. Not by fighting what I was experiencing, but by learning to work with it. That process changed the direction of my life, and eventually led me to train formally in the very approaches that had helped me most.
I have been practising since 2007 and continue to update my training regularly. I work with clients who are often highly self aware, have tried other approaches, and still feel something is unresolved. That is exactly the territory these methods are designed for.
I do not just understand this work theoretically. I understand it from the inside.
Every client is different, and I work that way. There is no fixed script or one size fits all approach. From the first session I am reading where you are, what feels manageable, and what the system is ready to work with. Some people need to move slowly and carefully. Others are ready to go deeper sooner. I follow the client, not a process.
What stays consistent regardless of how we work is the intention... to help your nervous system find a different relationship with what it has been carrying, gently, effectively, and at a pace that feels right for you.
