Who this training is for

This training is designed for therapists, counsellors, healthcare providers, coaches, and other practitioners who want an evidence-based tool for helping clients move through trauma, anxiety, and stress – often more quickly than traditional talk-based approaches allow.

About Havening Techniques

Havening is a psychosensory modality, developed from neuroscience research into how the brain stores and processes traumatic memories. Using gentle touch alongside specific techniques, Havening works to change the way the brain holds the emotional charge linked to difficult memories. Many clients notice real relief within a single session, without needing to talk through the details of what happened.

What the training involves

This is a hands-on, practical course. Over the three days, you will:

  • Watch live, real-time demonstrations
  • Practice the techniques yourself, and receive them from others
  • Leave equipped to begin using Havening with your own clients
Whether you’re a therapist, healthcare provider, or coach, Havening integrates seamlessly into existing practices to deepen transformation and accelerate healing.
