About Tony Burgess and his own journey with Havening Techniques

My name is Tony Burgess. I was one of the very first people globally to be certified as a Havening Techniques Practitioner. I was subsequently approved as one of the first certified Havening Techniques Trainers in the world. I was Head of the UK and European Division of Havening Techniques from September 2014 until April 2017 and until recently I was also Havening’s Head of Trainer Training.

I attended the very first official training course in Havening Techniques in London and I can hardly express how pleased I am that I went to that training – It was one of the best professional decisions I have made in my life. Once I had become a Certified Practitioner and a Certified Trainer, I went on to train at events around the UK, across Europe, in the USA and New Zealand. I’ve been privileged to present alongside Drs Ron and Steven Ruden, the originators of Havening. I’ve enjoyed introducing hundreds of people to Havening Techniques and have also been responsible for training many of the Certified Havening Techniques Trainers located around the world.

I’ve tended over the years to be healthily sceptical (whilst curious) about any new approach to facilitating profound change. Whilst open-minded, I like to personally test-drive any techniques so I can experience the effectiveness first hand to make sure that the tools work quickly, effectively and can produce genuine lasting change.

As an already very experienced therapist, coach and trainer it has been rare for me to find a new approach that has genuinely impressed me so quickly … and Havening Techniques is one of those methodologies that has quite frankly blown me away with its ease of use and consistent powerful effectiveness.

Since first test driving Havening Techniques, I’ve helped many people to become completely free from unhelpful responses to past trauma. I’ve also helped people in a wide range of other therapeutic areas using Havening. Although I’d already had a great deal of therapeutic success with clients for many years before I discovered Havening, by incorporating Havening Techniques into my day-to-day work it took things to a much greater level of effectiveness. I have found that Havening can totally free people from the chains of their past so they can start living again – it can give them their life back!

I’ve also applied Havening Techniques within my coaching work and within my personal and professional development work and I have been delighted by how well it integrates with other tools and approaches.
