Equalisation help needed please

This is my first post on DP so hi all...and can I have some help,please!! I'm an open water scuba diver with tiny eustacian tubes (sinuses ok) and it can take me 12mins to 12m . Luckily I have a fab,patient buddy!!! I was using Valsalva but went on a freediving course recently and learned the frenzel manouvere. In the pool I got to 6m in 40 secs equalising constantly (instant pressure if I don't) whilst moving my neck and jaw then got stuck arond 5m. I couldn't progress at all beyond this depth...breath fine,tubes not being helpful.
I read a post about circular equalising. Does anyone have any views/ advice on this? I can't dive (Scuba) for next couple of weeks but want to give myself the best shot I can when I go. Hopefully,one day, I'll be able to equalise well enough to freedive too.
Cheers
