Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback supports the optimal functioning of your brain. It provides an alternative solution for resolving physical, mental and emotional dysregulation.
Why do we integrate Neuroscience?
To make a difference to people in their lives.
It’s not that we aren’t convinced of the traditional methods to support people seeking to live their best life, whether suffering from anxiety, depression, or any of the other myriad challenges they may face, including trauma.
We believe that when you have done everything you feel you can and you are looking for that something extra, to garner some momentum in your recovery, it is helpful to look at what science is learning. Your brain already gets alot of things just right, it is an expert at helping you survive, but that doesn’t mean it can’t make good use of feedback, helping to rewire itself for your best overall function. This makes good sense to us. We work with a Neurofeedback procedure which is particularly effective and individually adapted to your state of health and your needs.
How does it work?
Almost everyone can improve their ability to perform at highter levels of effectiveness with training. You exercise your physical body, toning it to maintain, or improve your function. It is also possible to exercise the neural pathways in your brain in a similar way, enabling you to perform better. We do this via Neurofeedback, which is a non-invasive computer enhanced form of behvioural therapy.
What does the process look like?
Step 1: Let's meet one another
You will have a discussion with one of our Neurotherapsits to take your history. We will agree which presenting symptoms you wish to improve. This informative discussion also provide an opportunity to have all your questions answered. You and your practitioner can get to know each other and you can decide if you feel you are a good fit for one another. Good relationships and best practice are at the heart of our practice.
Step 2: Let's create a Baseline
Using the renowned Cambridge Brain Science platform, you will have the opportunity to complete a full brain functional assessment. This is not an intelligence test, but uses short, two minute interactive games to objectively evaluate your short-term memory, reasoning, concentration and verbal abilities. You will receive a full report of the outcome. If you would like to try a short tester of this, just for fun, please use our demo link
Step 3: Your first Neurofeedback session
Small non-invasive sensors are applied to your scalp with paste to “listen in” to brain signals, just like a doctor listenting to your heart, absolutley painless. You make yourself comfortable and watch an animation, or film. As the signals are sent to an amplifier, the computer software allows your brain to receive live dynamic feeback via music, a soft vibrating cushion and video display. The brain, receives this feedback about what it is doing and starts to interact, making good use of it. Over time, it uses it to enhance your levels of calm relaxation.
Step 4 : Let's track your progress
An email will be sent to you with a link to a tracking form that is easily completed on your mobile phone, or tablet. Your agreed target symptoms will be listed there, enabling you to track and monitor any changes, including in your sleep and sense of general wellbeing.
Step 5 : Have your achieved your goals?
We’ve been monitoring and reviewing your symptoms throughout and your changes have been discussed. What do you want to do now you have successfully completed your initial 20 sessions? Talk to us about your ongoing journey toward your peak performance (non-athletes welcome too)
