EFT Therapists
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), often called tapping, is a body-based approach that combines focused attention with gentle acupressure. Explore therapists who offer EFT and find someone who feels like the right fit.
EFT, or tapping, involves lightly tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on a particular thought, feeling, or memory. This approach draws from both cognitive techniques and traditional acupressure, and many people find it helpful for working through stress, anxiety, phobias, or lingering emotional tension. Sessions are often collaborative, with therapists guiding you through the process at a pace that feels comfortable.
On First Session, you can browse therapists across Canada who incorporate EFT into their practice. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their style before booking. Whether you're curious about trying something new or already know tapping works for you, exploring profiles can help you find a therapist whose approach resonates.

Therapy is hard work.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of talk therapy with acupressure. During a session, you tap gently on specific points on your face and body while focusing on a particular emotion, thought, or memory. The technique is designed to help calm the nervous system and may support emotional processing. Many people appreciate that it offers a tangible, physical component alongside verbal reflection.
EFT may be helpful for people experiencing stress, anxiety, phobias, or difficult emotions that feel stuck or overwhelming. Some people use it to work through past experiences, while others find it useful for managing day-to-day tension. It can appeal to those who prefer approaches that involve the body as well as the mind. A therapist can help you determine whether EFT might be a good fit for what you're working on.
In a typical EFT session, your therapist will guide you through a series of tapping sequences while you focus on a specific issue or feeling. You'll tap on points such as the side of the hand, eyebrow, and collarbone while saying phrases related to what you're working on. Sessions often begin with identifying what you'd like to address and rating the intensity of the feeling. The process is collaborative, and your therapist will check in with you throughout.
The length of therapy varies depending on your goals and what you're working through. Some people notice shifts after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. EFT can be used as a standalone approach or combined with other therapeutic methods. Your therapist can help you get a sense of what to expect based on your specific situation, and you can adjust as you go.
Finding the right therapist is often about fit and comfort. On First Session, every therapist has an intro video so you can hear them speak and get a sense of their personality and approach before reaching out. You can also read about their background and areas of focus. Learning what to look for in a therapist can help you feel more confident in your choice. Trust your instincts—if someone feels approachable and understanding, that's a good sign.
