Dunstable Therapy
I’m Michelle Milton, and welcome to the place where compassionate understanding meets transformative action. Think of me like your gentle guiding hand towards emotional freedom and healing.
I offer a safe place for women navigating the complex tides of life’s changes to let go of the anger, frustration, resentment and exhaustion that are so common. My clients find themselves more relaxed, calm, and able to keep things in perspective.
Michelle Milton EFT
From the heart of Dunstable, I also serve the communities of Milton Keynes, Bedford, Cambridge, Oxford, Watford, Northampton and Banbury.
Life often surprises us, and not in a good way – things like family changes, hormonal changes, the loss of parents, career decisions and the nest becoming empty can shake the very foundation we stand on.
I believe that living isn’t just about coping; it’s about thriving. In the supportive environment I create, we’ll work together to unlock the strength and resilience you carry within, making those foundations stronger than ever before.
If you’re ready to begin, call 07890 442 548 to schedule a FREE discovery call and begin your journey towards a calmer you, where you’re able to handle what life throws at you more easily. It’s truly achievable for us all!

EFT Arrives in Dunstable
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a groundbreaking approach to therapy, emotional healing and trauma processing, is now available in Dunstable. This powerful method taps into the body’s energy system, addressing issues at their root. EFT isn’t your average kind of therapy; it’s a transformational tool that empowers its users to heal deep emotional trauma, allowing them the freedom to change their lives in the most meaningful ways.
EFT blends acupressure, energy medicine and other psychological tools, creating a powerful, tailored experience that respects your journey and ambitions, but facilitates the change you want to see by releasing old unhelpful memories and emotions. Imagine a space where you can voice all the thoughts and feelings you may think you shouldn’t have or say. We then work at your pace to gently acknowledge, ease and allow you to release them — a place where we can change what may have been emotional hurdles or blocks and turn them into stepping stones to a fuller, more vibrant life.
Explore this path together with me.

Dunstable Counsellor
Life’s big transitions can feel like wandering through a fog — family changes, caregiving, peri-menopause, menopause and adjusting to an empty nest are monumental shifts. My counselling services offer more than a sympathetic ear; they provide a roadmap through the fog.
Whether you’re struggling with additions to the family or changes within the family (maybe “empty-nest syndrome”), feeling the pressure of looking after elderly parents, wondering where you’re going with your career, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself or your partner after going through “the change”… I can help.
Working with me, you’ll find a partnership that values your experiences and dreams. My therapeutic process is a gentle, collaborative approach, tailored to your pace and needs. We focus on clearing the negative emotions or experiences to allow you to harness your inner strengths to navigate through life’s changes. This journey is about redefining life on your terms, with empowerment, understanding, and compassion leading the way.

How EFT Works
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a revolutionary approach that combines the wisdom of ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychological processes. This technique focuses on tapping specific points on the body’s energy meridians to release emotional blockages that may be current or may go back to earlier times in our lives, even as far back as childhood. Think of it as acupuncture without the needles, where instead of physical ailments, we’re addressing emotional distress.
That said, so often our external physical state is a reflection of our internal, emotional one. We know this instinctively – think of that sick feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you’re deeply scared of something. Holding onto anger has been shown to lead to increased blood pressure, cognitive dysfunction and headaches. Long-term stress has been shown to be a risk-factor in a wide variety of physical ailments. EFT is a wonderful resource allowing for the processing and releasing of these unhelpful emotional states, which doesn’t just protect your emotional health but your physical health too.
EFT is particularly effective in treating a range of conditions, from anxiety and depression to PTSD and grief. It’s a technique that helps clear and release unhelpful thoughts, feelings and beliefs like overwhelm, resentment, loss and frustration during challenging stages of life. By tapping into the body’s own healing capabilities, EFT facilitates a profound emotional release, offering a safe path towards true freedom from the chains of past traumas and current anxieties.
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a constant battle, but EFT offers a new strategy. Through targeted tapping, we can reduce or totally eliminate persistent and unhelpful thoughts, providing a sense of peace and control.
Depression
Depression can leave you feeling flat, like all the colour has been drained from your world. EFT helps to release trapped emotions, lighting up the darker corners of your mind in a safe and incredibly gentle way at a pace you set that feels right for you.
PTSD
For those haunted by the past, EFT can help you gently release past trauma without the need to relive it, setting it apart from traditional psychotherapy, offering a path to peace. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has found EFT to be clinically and cost effective for PTSD.
Grief
Loss of any sort can bring up all manner of uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. By gently addressing the pain and the various emotions around it, we can pave the way for healing and acceptance.
Stress
In today’s fast-paced world, stress is a constant companion. EFT offers a self-help process that allows you to release current stress and past stressors (which are often significant factors in how you are feeling today), allowing you to manage stress effectively.
About Me
I found EFT over 20 years ago and have used it to help me cope with work problems (including feeling like I’m in the wrong job), menopause stresses, watching my parents decline and then pass away. My Dad had Alzheimers so it felt as though I lost him twice. My daughter leaving for university in Yorkshire and then staying there was a major adjustment for me, and a loss too. My son’s journey to young adulthood has not been easy for him or for me. I’d like you to consider me a fellow traveller on life’s winding path. With years of experience guiding women through the intricacies of life’s transitions, I bring a depth of understanding, empathy, and expertise to my practice.
My approach is gentle yet powerful, blending talk-therapy techniques with my EFT toolkit, resulting in a truly transformative experience. The great thing about this approach is that we don’t need to relive past events to reap the benefits – EFT works even without verbalising your feelings at all!

Frequently-Asked Questions
What is therapy like?
It’s a journey of exploration, understanding and growth, guided by compassion and professionalism in a safe space. Each session is tailored to your unique experiences, needs and goals, ensuring a path that’s gently empowering and healing. We always go at your own pace and don’t go near painful or traumatic past experiences until you feel ready to. The fantastic thing about EFT is that it works without the details, often even without talking, so any past traumas can be processed without reliving them.
How long does therapy typically last?
The duration of therapy is as unique as the individuals who seek it. Some find what they need in a few sessions, while others may require longer. It is very common that the deeper issues don’t really surface until the 4th session as they may be hidden under other more surface issues. My focus is on providing the care and support you need for as long as it benefits you.
What is EFT and how can it help?
