Philip Dwyer
Practitioner Introduction
I work with people who feel stuck, not through lack of effort, but because the patterns they are carrying are held in the body and nervous system, not just in the mind.
My specialist areas include Anxiety, Hypervigilance, Low self-worth, Past emotional traumas resulting in ADHD challenges in adults, and limiting beliefs.
At the heart of my practice is Matrix Reimprinting. Where many approaches work with how you feel right now, Matrix Reimprinting goes further, gently connecting with the earlier memories and experiences where those feelings first took root. Within those memories sit younger versions of ourselves, still carrying the emotional weight of what happened.
Matrix Reimprinting allows us to revisit those moments, not to relive them, but to transform the charge they hold and replace the beliefs that formed around them with something healthier and more true. For many clients it creates a shift that feels both deep and surprisingly gentle.
Alongside Matrix Reimprinting, I use Advanced EFT to work directly with the body's stress response system, Hypnotherapy to update the automatic patterns running in the subconscious, and NLP to support shifts in how clients relate to their own internal world. Together these approaches allow me to meet each person where they are, rather than applying a single method to every situation.
I hold a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner qualification (2009, recertified 2024) and a Level 3 Advanced EFT certification (2009, recertified 2025). My additional qualifications include a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP Practitioner, and Thought Field Therapy Advanced Practitioner at Diagnostic Dx Level.
What shapes my work most is lived experience. I have personally navigated intense anxiety, hypervigilance, self-worth struggles, and the kind of internal overwhelm that is hard to explain to anyone who has not been there. These were not academic interests, they were things I needed to find a way through. That is why I do this work, and it is what allows me to sit with clients and genuinely understand where they are.

About This Practitioner
My name is Phil. I am a practitioner in Matrix Reimprinting, Advanced EFT, Hypnotherapy and NLP, based in Northamptonshire and working with clients online across the UK.
I came to this work the long way round. Before training formally as a therapist, I spent years in professional kitchens, an environment that demands focus, resilience and the ability to function under sustained pressure. What I did not fully understand at the time was that I was also quietly navigating my own internal world, one shaped by anxiety, hypervigilance, and a deep sense of not quite fitting the mould I was supposed to fit.
It was through discovering EFT, and then Matrix Reimprinting, that things began to shift in a way I had not expected. Being able to go back to the earlier moments where so much had begun, and actually change the relationship with those memories rather than just process them, was a different experience entirely. That process changed the direction of my life, and eventually led me to train formally in the very approaches that had helped me most.
I have been practising since 2007 and continue to update my training regularly. I work with clients who are often highly self aware, have tried other approaches, and still feel something is unresolved. That is exactly the territory these methods are designed for.
I do not just understand this work theoretically. I understand it from the inside.
Every client is different, and I work that way. There is no fixed script or one size fits all approach. From the first session I am reading where you are, what feels manageable, and what the system is ready to work with. Some people need to move slowly and carefully. Others are ready to go deeper sooner. I follow the client, not a process.
What stays consistent regardless of how we work is the intention, to help your nervous system find a different relationship with what it has been carrying, gently, effectively, and at a pace that feels right for you.
Other Expertise
Over the years I have been honoured to be part of the support team on the EFT and Matrix Reimprinting training courses in the East Midlands, sitting alongside both new students finding their feet and qualified practitioners returning to deepen their practice.
