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.

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 attended a 6 hour mentoring day with Tania . It is not the first time. I keep coming back because of the great value I get from the vast knowledge and experience of Tania, from her original thinking and her positive solution- oriented attitude.
The group was very diverse, which is a benefit, the participants had different levels of experience in EFT and Tania gave each one an opportunity to raise challenges from the treatment room and also advise the other participants. This creates an interesting, educational and useful conversation. On the one hand, the meeting was conducted in a very structured and serious manner, and on the other hand, the flow was light, intuitive and fun. All these created a fascinating day. I highly recommend it. Thank you Tania.

Tania was a brilliant supervisor and I found the mentorship both inspirational as a practitioner and when receiving a brief demonstration of Tania’s MBIR technique. Straight into the nitty-gritty in a sensitive, knowledgable way. I found Tania as a mentor both expert and humble with a huge, deep knowledge based on her considerable practice down the years. Thanks Tania. In the words ofArnie, “I’ll be back.”
