Accredited EFT Mentoring Online

Overview: The EFT Group Mentoring Day Online

This is an intensive, online, day-long event geared to support trainees and experienced EFT therapists. It is structured in four, ninety-minute blocks. Breaks between blocks are thirty minutes long; lunch break is an hour. Session 1 is where you will be able to connect with colleagues at the event. After introductions, I will outline the timetable and the general housekeeping rules. We will then go on to discuss difficult and challenging cases. You will have the opportunity to put forward any cases you are struggling with and ask for input from other attendees and trainers on how you should proceed. All attendees will have an opportunity to join in the discussion and offer ideas from their own experience. Sessions 2 – 4 will continue with the discussion of challenging and difficult cases. We will also go through simple innovations. It will also include ideas on marketing your business etc. On some mentoring days, I also bring guest speakers to give mini-talks on topics relevant to practicing therapists.

Why Attend Mentoring?

There are many reasons that people attend mentoring. If you are or want to be an EFT therapist, having EFT Mentoring is a requirement for gaining and retaining accreditation by EFT International. Six hours of mentoring is a requirement set by EFT International for achieving their accredited practitioner status. It is also the yearly requirement for retaining it. This event satisfies this requirement.

Who Should Attend?

EFT Mentoring is for those who are either training to be practitioners or qualified therapists fulfilling their mentoring requirement set by EFT International, the accrediting body. If you have attended an EFT level 1, 2, or 3 or trainer training, and would like to have mentoring in the use of EFT to further your skills and abilities, EFT mentoring is for you.

About Mentoring

Mentoring is about developing the mindset of a therapist. It is also about gaining the support of peers so that you can take your practice to the next level. It is about pooling your knowledge so that everyone in the group can benefit from your experience. On these days attendees are given the opportunity to discuss challenging cases and to contribute and receive suggestions as to alternative ways of working with their client or issue. During these sessions, students are informed of changes within the profession that might have an impact on their practice. It is also the place to discuss new approaches and practice any techniques you feel a need to practice. These are ideal opportunities to network and get support from colleagues.
