About Andy:
I help people who seldom feel safe in themselves, or secure in their relationships with others, and may even think it’s because there is something fundamentally wrong with them. I work with them feel safer in their own skin, more at ease with others and with themselves.
Some people grow up in difficult families. Even though they are now grown up and their childhood is far away, they may still feel there is something wrong with what they think, how they feel, and how they act in the world.
I help my clients repair their emotional wounds so that their past struggles are no longer running their current lives, they are less at war with themselves, and they can become an ever more whole and capable person, at ease with themselves and others.
I write a monthly newsletter for EFT Practitioners dedicated to practical strategies for practitioners who want to go beyond the techniques of EFT.
I am the developer and lead trainer of the Identity Healing approach, an integrated set of processes developed for EFT Practitioners who are working with clients who are struggling with issues that don't seem to respond well to standard tapping approaches.
I am the creator and presenter of The Notes From A Tapping Practitioner podcast.
