FAQ’s
What is Change Work?
Generally change work is any successful form or process, of personal evolution and movement towards life nourishing goals. If therapeutic interventions are successful, then that is change work. Change work involves neurological change which results in positive emotional and behavioural experiences.
Our change and wellbeing sessions involve targeted, accurate and precise modalities of change, that you may very well learn to love, because of how fast you can change and how good you can feel.
How do you boost wellbeing with change work?
By permanently alleviating some of your suffering, and teaching you tools so you can continue, your wellbeing naturally improves.
How is change work different from talking therapies or other ‘alphabet’ therapies’?
Change work is not counselling, and it is different in three ways, the first is that you do not have to disclose your ‘pain story’, narrative, or traumatic past, which are potentially at the root of things. Change work is more often than not, content free. This mean you do not have to keep talking about your problems.
The second way change work is different, is that the number of sessions required to invoke powerful shifts in your life, are significantly less than 6.
The third difference are the techniques we use. They are precise, accurate, brief and highly effective and the specific blend is unique to us.
Who do you work with?
We work with anyone who wants to improve performance, overcome old pain, anxiety, find a reduction in their own suffering, anyone who makes other people suffer and they want to stop, anyone who wants to end a habit, an annoying behaviour that keeps cropping up, change their own stuck-ness in life, or who wants to overcome obstacles.
We work with anyone who wants to change. If you are not ready for change and intervention, we also have psychotherapy and counselling available, as sometimes, this care and support are required.
We work with anyone experiencing a Pattern of Chronicity (also known as Emotional Chaining from the works of Andrew T Austin), who is certain they want to change. So that is anyone, who is familiar with one or any of the below categories, which are all perfectly Human experiences.
The three stage abreaction process below, is also known as being ‘triggered’, and if this happens in a session, terms and conditions applying, we can prevent it from happening in the future. This occurs in the blink of an eye, with what is called Integral Eye Movement Technique.
Sometimes, we need to work alongside counselling agencies, or your GP or mental health professional, to ensure high quality health and safety. If this is the case, we will ask for a letter from them, confirming you are safe to embark upon our processes.
What if I do not want to work with a nominated practitioner, but still want to use the revolutionary services?
We have connections with fellow practitioners and change workers, both locally and nationally. Just let us know when you get in touch with us and we will ensure your wishes are granted. You have the right to choose who you work with and alongside.

Is change work, hard work?
All humans have their own original inner realities, like your fingerprint or DNA, you also have your own directions of growth. At Higher Effect you are harmonised with your three main intelligences, your mind, your heart and your gut instincts, and you are aligned with your own internal ecology. In this way, change work is not hard work, but it may be briefly uncomfortable.
We are here to aid in your alignment and your unique individuality and identity. Change work is the empowerment of your own personal leadership, truth, purpose, and path, with confidence, integrity and humility. Change work can be effortless, painful, annoying, or joyous.
Often, change work can happen in the blink of an eye.

Yes, we do.
Do you do home visits?
We do not visit your home. We sometimes offer online and telephone sessions that you can access from within your home. We also offer sessions in outdoor spaces, including walks, tree basking and sound bathing.
You talk a lot about metaphor, what is the big deal?
There is a realm beyond thought, it offers us a universal language, vantage point and a perfect position, with which to enable positive change. Your metaphors, like your fingerprints are unique to you and in a true metaphorical reality, you can witness and seek much wisdom, insight, and power. The 4th dimension of space can be witnessed outside of your judgement and thought.
