What You Will Learn

1 / Introduction to Energy Psychotherapy

We will briefly cover the main foundations and underlying principles of energy psychotherapy and realise its potential to complement and enrich your own therapeutic approach, offering an array of exciting and creative possibilities for your therapeutic toolbox.

2 / The Power of Presence

The undeniable truth is that our presence significantly influences our clients. In this workshop, you will be encouraged to remain fully aware of your presence throughout the experiential exercises. By mindfully engaging in these activities, you will cultivate a deeper understanding of the profound impact your presence can have on the therapeutic process.

3 / Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Applications

EFT offers diverse applications in therapy. During the workshop, you will have the invaluable opportunity to learn and practise powerful ways of using EFT (aka tapping), including working with reversals, the standard EFT basic recipe, and intuitive tapping, equipping you with versatile tools to transform your practice. As you practise these techniques, a supportive atmosphere of relaxation, playfulness, and exploration will be fostered, allowing for an enjoyable experience.

4 / Chakra Clearing Applications

Chakra clearing (also called Waterfall Chakra Clearing) can be a powerful technique for the resolution of trauma and the instalment of positive beliefs. During the workshops, we will cover the basics of chakra clearing, so that you can add some aspects of this valuable tool to your therapeutic toolbox. Integration of your own therapeutic style with chakra clearing will be explored by engaging in practical exercises with fellow therapists to refine your skills. 

5 / Self-care and Burn-out Prevention Tools

You will acquire the skills to use treatment sentences, empowering your own healing journey and self-care practices, learning how to protect your energy boundary in therapy, and eliminating energy contamination from your energy field. By clearing your chakras at the end of your daily routine, you can ward off burn-out, ensuring your sustainable well-being and therapeutic efficacy.

Your Facilitator

Maria Alda Gomez Otero MA Psych (Psychotherapy) DipEP 

With a background in languages, life led me to a transformative career shift and I became a tai chi instructor and a psychotherapist. The discovery of energy psychotherapy seamlessly merged my two passions into one purposeful path. I began to use my enhanced presence and my understanding of the meridian points, derived from my tai chi practice, in my therapy room, intertwining traditional approaches with innovative ones, with astonishing results for my clients. Having worked in this area for a number of years, I recently completed a year-long Diploma in Practising Energy Psychotherapy.

As a trainer, I have often been described as having an innate gift for teaching, which doesn't surprise me as I love facilitating workshops.
