EEG Neurofeedback
EEG Neurofeedback is an innovative technique that enables anyone, whether child or adult, to achieve their full potential by consciously altering their own brain function for clinical conditions as well as for personal development aspects. By using EEG information, a whole range of conditions can be treated varying from the increasingly common ADHD, Autism and learning disorders through to Epilepsy, Dyspraxia, Chronic Fatigue, Mood disorders, Nystagmus, Addictions, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Work Stress and even Peak Performance for anyone who wants to gain an extra edge, all without the need for medication.
The technique uses sophisticated technology which allows us to pickup the EEG or brainwaves using non-invasive electrodes attached to the scalp. This in turn is relayed to the patient and the therapist. The patient plays a computer game controlled solely by the power of their concentration or focus. If they produce good levels of concentration, the game will speed up and tones will be produced as points are scored, thus reinforcing this behaviour. Conversely if they suffer a lapse in concentration the game will slow down and stop. Whilst this is going on, the therapist directly monitors the brainwaves and can direct the patient as to what they should attempt to do in order to win the game and thus improve their own mental brain state.
It is with this very simple yet elegant feedback loop that we can achieve a positive, long lasting response for all of our clients, as there is no external influence, only themselves. For example, in an independent test, an average of a 23 point increase in IQ has been demonstrated with children suffering from ADHD who have undergone the Neurofeedback process.
The brain is amazingly adaptable and always capable of learning new behaviours and ways of functioning both for remediating conditions and to maximise your performance and potential. As the brain is central to the entire body, the list of conditions we can help you with are numerous and to list a few:
- ADHD (and eliminate use of medications e.g. Ritalin, Concerta, Strattera etc.)
- Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tics/ Tourettes, Autism/ Aspergers
- Stroke, Head Injury, Sports Injuries, Epilepsy
- Anxiety and Panic Attacks, Depression, Bi-polar Disorder
- Insomnia, Sleep Apnoea, Chronic Pain, Migraines
- Addictions, Chronic Fatigue, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Congenital Nystagmus, Pelvic Floor Prolapse
- Concentration, Memory, Peak Performance
Our aim is to fully remediate an persons condition and optimise performance whilst weaning them off their medication so that they can enjoy life to the full without damaging side effects or psychostimulant dependency. Through control and manipulation of the brainwave activity, you can learn to make long lasting changes in mind and body.
We are the original, comprehensive EEG Neurofeedback service in the UK who have been helping people for over ten years and are also NHS providers.
