What Makes Havening Different?

Havening Techniques® is a neuroscience-informed psychosensory approach that combines gentle touch with focused attention and distraction to help change the way stressful or emotionally charged experiences are encoded and responded to.

What often surprises people is how gentle the process can feel. There is no need to repeatedly revisit every detail of an experience for meaningful change to occur.

Havening can be used on its own or integrated into an existing therapeutic, coaching, or helping practice, giving practitioners another way to support regulation, resilience, and change.

Why Train with Lynn

I have been practicing Havening for more than a decade and teaching it one-to-one for the past five years. Over that time, I have learned that becoming confident with Havening takes more than understanding the protocols.

I pay close attention to the small things that shape a session: language, pacing, timing, decision points, and what the client is communicating moment by moment. Because we work together across eight modules, I can see how your understanding develops and help you build on what is already becoming natural.

Many of my students come with an established therapeutic, coaching, or helping practice. My role is not to make you work as I do. It is to help you understand Havening well enough to integrate it thoughtfully into the way you already work and develop a style that feels genuinely your own.

I bring my experience, attention, and feedback to the training. You bring your curiosity, questions, and willingness to engage with the learning.

That is where the training becomes truly personal.

Who Is This Training For?

This training tends to suit practitioners who are curious, engaged, and willing to take an active role in their own learning.

Some students come with years of experience as therapists, counsellors, coaches, hypnotherapists, or other helping professionals. Others are newer to the work.

What matters most is approaching the learning with curiosity and care.

You may feel at home in this training if you value:

• individual attention and thoughtful feedback
• learning through experience rather than observation alone
• asking questions as they arise
• time between modules to apply and integrate what you are learning
• understanding why something works, not simply following a protocol
• developing a way of using Havening that fits naturally with who you already are as a practitioner

You do not need to arrive knowing exactly how Havening will fit into your work. That is something we can discover together as your understanding and confidence develop.

One-to-One Havening Training

Whether you are ready to pursue professional certification or want to learn Havening without entering the certification process, the training itself is the same eight-module, one-to-one experience.

You’ll have the time and individual attention to understand the techniques, apply what you are learning, ask questions as they arise, and develop a way of using Havening that fits naturally with your existing work.

Havening Sessions

If you’re looking for personal support, I also offer one-to-one Havening sessions in a calm, grounded space, working gently with what is present and at a pace that feels right for you.

Single sessions and 6- or 12-session packages are available.
