Train in one of today’s most effective neuroscience-based approaches for emotional healing, anxiety, and trauma recovery.
Havening Techniques® is a gentle, science-backed modality that helps release trauma, emotional residue, and deeply held patterns, often in just one session. Rooted in neuroscience and designed to work directly with the nervous system, it’s a powerful addition to any therapeutic, coaching, or healing practice.
As a Certified Havening Techniques® Trainer and Practitioner with years of hands-on experience, I’ve witnessed the profound impact this work can create. It helps clients feel safe in their bodies, clear in their emotions, and more connected to who they truly are. That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing this modality with other practitioners, so you can offer healing that is effective, humane, and sustainable.
— Michelle, Training Participant
This training is comprehensive, trauma-informed, and supportive from start to finish. You’ll not only learn the practical techniques, you’ll also gain a deep understanding of the neuroscience behind them, so you can hold space with both clarity and compassion.
Whether you're a therapist, coach, facilitator, or space-holder, this is an opportunity to expand your work with a method that is gentle yet powerful, and grounded in science as much as it is in care.
You’re deeply committed to helping others heal -
but something’s been stirring beneath the surface.
You’ve noticed that talk-based approaches can sometimes only go so far.
That revisiting trauma, again and again, doesn’t always lead to release.
That even with all your experience, there are still moments you think:
“There’s something deeper here… but I don’t know how to reach it.”
You want to offer more than coping strategies. You want your clients to experience real shifts, not just insight but genuine relief. You want a method that’s gentle, practical, and deeply effective, whether you’re working in person or online.
You’re curious about the connection between neuroscience and healing, but you don’t need more theory. You’re looking for something you can actually use, something that makes sense in the mind and lands in the body.
This is a fully supported, in-depth Havening Techniques® Practitioner Training designed to equip you with the skills, confidence, and clarity to start offering this transformative work right away.

"Havening wasn’t just another course. It was life-changing"
Through the training, she experienced a shift in her own body relief from physical pain and now feels empowered to help others walk through their own healing. This is the kind of transformation we witness every round.
“I finally have a tool that bridges my emotional and trauma"
Kirby joined to expand her scope of practice. She left with tools that elevate her current offering. Now, she’s using it to help clients move through emotional blocks with safety and skill.

Nic shares how powerful it was to feel supported leading into the training and how instant the impact of Havening really is. She says, “It’s simple, it’s effective, and it’s something everyone should have access to.”

Havening is a psychosensory technique grounded in neuroscience. Unlike traditional talk therapy, it works directly with the brain’s emotional encoding system - helping to gently release trauma and regulate the nervous system without needing to revisit distressing memories. It’s deeply empowering, gentle, and safe - often producing lasting change more quickly than expected.
Yes, Elle offers tailored training for teams, wellness organisations, and healthcare groups.
Custom group experiences can be delivered in-person or online and are designed around your group’s goals, availability, and learning style. They’re ideal for deepening collective care, connection, and trauma-informed capacity.

"Elle is a gifted and articulate trainer who demonstrates her passion & authority in the Havening space. The training was interactive & spaced well over the days. Working through information & allowing time for practicing meant I felt like I was getting a deeper understanding throughout."
"Insightful, educational, informative and interesting. I've learnt so much about the modality and learning the science and then actually doing the session and seeing that unfold blows my mind every single time. Elle is extremely knowledgeable and talented in havening and I couldn't think of a better human to be mentored by."
Elle Louise McBride - From Client to Educator
When I first discovered Havening Techniques®, I wasn’t seeking a new modality. I was simply trying to heal.
But what I experienced in those first few sessions changed everything.
I felt safer in my body. Quieter in my mind. Clearer in my emotions. Years of stored stress and emotional residue began to gently shift - not through force, but through presence.
The science behind it made perfect sense to me, but it was the gentleness of the process that truly moved me. For the first time, healing felt both effective and deeply kind.
That experience led me to train as a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner - and eventually, to become a Certified Trainer so I could share this work with others who were also seeking something deeper.
Since then, I’ve had the honour of supporting hundreds of clients through emotional healing, and training practitioners across Australia and around the world.
I bring both clarity and compassion to my teaching. I believe that understanding the neuroscience is just as important as embodying the method - and I’m committed to guiding practitioners in a way that feels safe, empowering, and true to who they are.
This work changed my life - and now, it’s my greatest honour to help others carry it forward.

Havening is not just another tapping technique or talk therapy approach. It works directly with the brain's amygdala and encoding processes to permanently remove the emotional charge from traumatic experiences and create lasting neurobiological change.
FASTER RESULTS: What might take months with traditional therapy often resolves in 1-3 sessions
GENTLE PROCESS: No need to re-experience trauma or trigger distress
NEUROBIOLOGICALLY SOUND: Based on cutting-edge neuroscience research
VERSATILE APPLICATION: Effective for trauma, anxiety, phobias, depression, pain and more
LASTING CHANGE: Creates permanent neurological shifts that produce relief, not temporary coping
House of Delta is a dedicated training hub for Havening Techniques® certification. Led by globally recognised Practitioner and Mentor Elle Louise McBride, we provide expert guidance and structured support to help you confidently step into certified practice.
If you’ve been looking for a method that is both evidence-based and compassionate based - this may be it.
What might take months in traditional therapy can often begin to shift in just a few sessions, creating more spaciousness and possibility for both client and practitioner.
There’s no need to relive trauma or revisit distressing stories. Havening meets each client with respect, safety, and agency, allowing healing to unfold without reactivation.
Based in leading research in neuroplasticity and emotional encoding, Havening combines science with compassion in a way that’s practical, teachable, and deeply felt.
Whether you’re supporting trauma, anxiety, phobias, depression, or physical pain, Havening can be woven seamlessly into your current modality or offered as a stand-alone practice.
This isn’t about managing symptoms - it’s about creating new pathways. Havening helps release the emotional residue of the past, so clients can move forward feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected.
"Who knew healing could be so easy! Stuck on thoughts and going over things in your mind can be erased with a simple tool. Thanks Elle for your time and patience and awesome presentations to get across this amazing modality. I found the course easy to follow, there was so much hands on training, I made personal growth in a few days whilst learning a new tool to heal."
By the final day, I not only had a solid grasp of Havening but also the confidence that I could actually become certified and help others. This training has been absolutely the best thing I've done for myself in years, a truly transformative gift that I've already enthusiastically recommended to others.
"I’ve just completed a 16-hour online Havening course with Elle, and I feel deeply grateful for the experience. This training has been not only educational but also personally transformative. Elle is an incredibly skilled and compassionate teacher who holds space in a way that feels both safe and empowering. Her clarity, warmth, and depth of knowledge made the material accessible, engaging, and applicable. I look forward to continuing the certification process and incorporating this technique into my practice"
"I've trained in IFS, TRTP, ACT, and MindShift training, and I believe this is the safest, fastest method of change I've seen. Elle our trainer had such wisdom, knowledge, passion for process and a wonderful inclusive way of teaching. Havening integrates so well with all other therapeutic modalities, but also as a complete therapy that stands alone"
"This course was absolutely amazing, so well-organised, comprehensive, and thoughtfully delivered. Elle is a fantastic teacher. She’s intuitive, empathetic, and created a safe space for learning and growth. The resources perfectly supported the training, and I now feel confident and capable to practice Havening and hold healing space for others. I loved every minute!"
"This training was informative, life-changing, and beautifully structured. Elle has such a perceptive, insightful, and caring way of delivering this unique and effective technique. I now understand how trauma and stress impact us on a deeper level, and Havening has helped me sit with my own emotions with more ease and willingness. Elle made the concepts practical and engaging, and her knowledge was tangible throughout. I’m so glad I did this training with her."
