Neurofeedback Training (NFT)
is a neuroscience-based
method of brain training that
helps your brain to work in
a more efficient way

NFT is most commonly used in the
treatment of ADD/ADHD, anxiety,
panic disorders and depression.
Neurofeedback Training is based on
a widely-studied method of learning
known as operant conditioning.
We reward efficient brain function
and by doing so, help the brain to
learn to work in a more efficient way.
When your brain works more
efficiently, symptoms of many
disorders begin to reduce.
What Is The Scientific Evidence?
There is a large body of scientific evidence
showing NFT to be effective in treating
the symptoms of a range of psychological
disorders. In particular, a lot of research
has been carried out in the area of ADHD/
ADD, showing that NFT can be as effective
as medication in reducing symptoms.
How Does It Work?
How Does The Clinic Operate?
NFT uses scientific instruments – known as
EEG - to measure what your brain is doing
and ‘feeds’ this information back to you on
a computer screen, in a way that is easy
to understand. Measuring EEG is entirely
non-invasive and painless.
To find out if Neurofeedback Training is
right for you, we carry out an initial
consultation. This involves a meeting
to discuss your goals followed by a
measurement of brain function.
Through this process, we can help
your brain to improve its functioning by
rewarding desirable brain patterns.
So, when your brain works more efficiently,
you will receive a reward on the screen —
a video will play, your favourite movie will
play, or you will hear music or sounds.
Following on from this, we will provide
you with a comprehensive report detailing our findings and recommendations.
If we think NFT can help, we will arrange
an appointment to start your training.
At this initial appointment, a member
of the team will explain your report in
detail and answer any questions you
may have. Our clients attend for an
average of 15 sessions (lasting one hour
each), with one session per week.
Please note, all of our recommendations
are based on your own data, and we will
never ask you to attend for more sessions
than are necessary.
