For most issues the research suggests that at least 20 neurofeedback sessions (approx. 2 sessions per week) are required to see lasting improvements. For multiple concerns or more complex issues (e.g. complex trauma) at least 40 sessions are usually needed. Neurofeedback treatment will be personalised to your needs and goals and the number of sessions will depend on your progress.

A typical session will start with you practitioner reviewing any improvements in symptoms or any side effects since your last session. Sensors will then be attached to your scalp and you will watch a video on the computer screen that provides feedback on your brain waves. Your practitioner will check in to see how you are feeling throughout the session.

Yes, we see children age 7+ for symptoms of ADHD, e.g. poor concentration and hyperactive behaviour.

No. You do not need an official diagnosis to access or benefit from neurofeedback. We target symptoms (e.g. anxiety, poor attention, insomnia, low energy and motivation) rather than diagnoses (e.g. depression, ADHD) so even if you don’t meet the requirements for diagnosis we can still help improve your area of concern.

You will need to continue to take any prescribed medication during your neurofeedback treatment. If you want to make changes to your medication during the course of your neurofeedback treatment please speak to your prescribing doctor.

Neurofeedback is a safe and completely non-invasive technique. Sensors are attached to your scalp to measure your brain activity. The sensors do NOT deliver an electrical current to the brain.

Neurofeedback has been practiced clinically for over 50 years and been evaluated in over 300 peer-reviewed scientific studies. The research suggests that any side effects are mild and temporary (e.g. feeling tired or having trouble sleeping the night after training). Your neurofeedback practitioner will conduct a comprehensive assessment of any sensitivities or risk factors prior to starting the treatment. Your practitioner will also monitor your response to treatment to ensure that side effects are minimised.
