Neurofeedback
What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback Therapy (also known as Neurotherapy) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive brain training method that helps regulate brainwave activity to improve emotional balance, focus, and cognitive function. First gaining attention for its efficacy in treating PTSD, Neurofeedback is now widely used to address a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorders.
​
How Neurofeedback Works
Neurofeedback monitors brainwave activity in real-time, allowing the brain to recognize and adjust its patterns for healthier functioning. Over time, this method trains the brain to regulate itself more effectively. Clients often experience improved sleep, emotional stability, and better focus. Parents of children undergoing Neurofeedback frequently report that their child becomes calmer, more focused, and more communicative after therapy sessions.
​
Proven Benefits of Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback Therapy has been shown to effectively treat a range of mental health conditions, including:
- PTSD and Trauma Recovery
- Anxiety and Depression
- ADHD
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Emotional Regulation Issues
Clients generally report improvements in sleep, emotional regulation, and concentration. Neurofeedback also supports behavioural improvements in children, reducing symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.
Applications of Neurofeedback
-
ADHD Treatment: Neurofeedback helps reduce inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, improving attention spans and focus in children and adults with ADHD.
-
Autism Spectrum Disorders: Neurofeedback, guided by QEEG-based assessments, has been effective in reducing symptoms by targeting abnormal connectivity patterns in the brain.
-
PTSD and Trauma: By rebalancing brainwave activity, Neurofeedback aids in trauma recovery, reducing symptoms of hypervigilance, anxiety, and emotional instability.

QEEG - QUANTITATIVE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM FOR PERSONALISED TREATMENT
At the core of Neurofeedback is the QEEG assessment, which evaluates brainwave patterns to gain a comprehensive understanding of brain function. This process uses a cap with 19 sensors to measure the brain’s activity in key regions. It assesses factors such as brainwave speed (frequency) and amplitude (strength), offering insights into how these patterns may impact areas like sleep quality, memory, attention, and emotional regulation.
​
By understanding these patterns, QEEG provides valuable information that informs individualised treatment protocols for Neurofeedback. This ensures that each client receives a tailored plan suited to their specific challenges and goals.
Why Is QEEG Important?
We recommend that clients considering Neurofeedback Therapy undergo a QEEG assessment first. This in-depth evaluation, combined with a clinical interview discussing your concerns and symptoms, enables us to create a highly personalised treatment plan. The entire assessment process takes roughly 2-3 hours over a few sessions, ensuring a thorough understanding of your brain’s unique patterns and challenges.
​
Preparing for Your QEEG Assessment
To get the most accurate results from your QEEG, we ask that assessments be completed in the morning (between 8-10am). Please avoid alcohol or drugs the night before (medications are exempt), and refrain from taking medication the morning of the assessment. Hydration is important, and since the process involves gel on the scalp, it may be helpful to plan to wash your hair afterward.
