Benefits of Having Professional Mentoring
Mentoring is essential for trainee therapists as well as those already up in practice. Here are the benefits from having group mentoring.
- Firstly, you need community and connection. Since most therapists work as self-employed, it can be a very isolating profession: just you, your client and their problems. Having support is essential in this environment.
- Secondly, mindset is vital in any profession – many people who practice as EFT therapists come in from different careers. Careers are diverse as accountancy, law, shop assistants, cleaners, scientists, engineers etc. With any profession, there is a way of thinking within it. Connecting with your peers helps you develop this mindset. The consequences of this are that you feel connected, part of, these are critical feelings related to health and well-being.
- Thirdly, clients share their issues with you. Some therapists can feel an enormous responsibility to help, which can, over time, cause burnout. Having mentoring allows therapists to get second opinions on challenging cases. It can release the burden of feeling solely responsible for helping your client overcome their problems. It turns it into a collaborative effective with your peers and mentors as support.
- The fourth benefit is that changes occur periodically that can affect the running of your business. You need to keep informed of these changes so you can operate legally and professionally. Attending mentoring is one of the easiest ways to keep yourself updated.
- The fifth benefit is that innovation happens all the time. Learning about innovations can improve your practice.
- The sixth benefit is that many therapists forge partnerships and collaborations at these mentoring events. At previous events, attendees have asked for assistants for their talks and events. This provides benefit on both sides, for the event leader, it provides support. For the person supporting them, it gives you the experience, similar to an apprenticeship, learning the art of running events. You can also develop a referral network. Not all clients are perfect for you. You may be too busy, or feel their issues are outside of your knowledge base. In which case, you would need to refer. It is always best to refer to colleagues you know. Attending group mentoring provides you with the opportunity to get to know your colleagues and their skill bases.
- The seventh benefit is that occasionally clients complain about their therapist. Although this is extremely rare you still need to be prepared for it. If you receive a complaint, EFT International will ask for information relating to the case. Showing that you attend mentoring shows professionalism on your part.

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.

(verified owner)I am really happy with the International EFT training course that I completed a few months ago with Tania and the EFT mentoring day which I attended recently. The training course was incredibly enlightening, providing me with valuable tools to enhance my practice. What stood out the most was Tania’s professionalism and extensive experience and friendliness which truly enriched the learning process. Her great sense of humour made the sessions enjoyable and engaging. The mentoring day was particularly beneficial , allowing me to deepen my understanding and gain new insights.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge and skills in EFT.

(verified owner)We had recently our annual mentoring session in a group of international members with Tania A Prince. Such a pleasure to learn with enthusiasm and happiness.
She let everyone talk and appreciate the participants to talk and learn. Her inner joy gives special energy to a long day training that I personally kept following every bits of our training and mentoring day,though the night before I did not sleep well.
So, this manifestation to the fact does say alot about our valuable Tania and also Anthony and the guests she brings to the session that weighs and impacts the knowledge of each to us as trainees and learners.

(verified owner)A very well held space and we covered a lot of areas from people all over the world. A reasonably large group to hold and manage which I thought was done with sensitivity, knowledge, positivity and good boundaries.
It’s important to have long enough breaks as it was very intense.

(verified owner)It was my first time attending the ” EFT Mentoring Day”. As an EFT practitioner I am required to attend 6 hours of mentoring every year and I liked the possibility to do them all in one day so I signed up. The ours just passed so quickly, it was very informative and I really enjoyed the group dynamic. Tania is very experienced and knowledgeable and fun, at the end of the day I had a list of books I want to read and felt inspired by all the other participants who shared their experiences.I can sincerely recommend the mentoring day.

(verified owner)I’ve done many programmes now with Tania and Tony over many years and each one has provided outstanding teaching and learning. There are always new skills and knowledge elements that I pick up. The way that programmes are trained and facilitated is such great practice in meeting the different needs of those on the programmes. In particular this programme of mentoring is always so good at connecting me with a the community of practitioners in EFT, building confidence and updating skills and developments in EFT.

This was the second Mentoring session I’ve had with Tania and I found her mentoring to be compassionate, clear, relevant, totally supportive, skilfully challenging and deeply knowledgable.
I had a particularly challenging situation and Tania, along with the rest of the mentoring group, was fantastic in helping me to find a point of peace both personally and professionally in my client dilemma, helping me to find relief and resolution around how I best serve my clients.

(verified owner)Tania is showing great presence throughout the day. Her mentoring style is lively, warm hearted and supportive. One by one, she is right here listening attentively, identifying a mentee’s strength, then pointing out which avenues they might take to help their client resolve an issue with the help of tapping. I left the seminar with renewed confidence and motivation to give my best as an EFT practitioner.

(verified owner)Last week I attended, for the first time, Tania’s online mentoring day for EFT practitioners. It was an incredible day with a wonderful selection of participants and an additional two trainers, all of whom added to Tania’s vast wealth of knowledge. Much valuable wisdom was shared during the hours we spent together and I’m very appreciative of this special mentoring day. I also made some lovely connections with new colleagues. Thank you very much dear Tania, I’ll be back for more.
