Neurotherapy, also known as neurofeedback, is a type of brain training that helps improve brain function and emotional regulation. It uses real-time monitoring of brain activity to provide feedback, guiding the brain toward healthier patterns. Through repeated sessions, neurofeedback can help address issues like anxiety, ADHD, depression, and other cognitive challenges by strengthening positive brainwave patterns. This non-invasive approach is tailored to each individual, promoting long-term improvements in mental clarity, mood, and overall well-being.

Here’s an FAQ on the types of disorders neurotherapy can address:

What types of disorders can neurotherapy help with?

Neurotherapy has shown effectiveness in supporting a range of mental health and cognitive conditions, including:

1. ADHD and Attention Difficulties: Neurotherapy can enhance focus, reduce impulsivity, and support sustained attention, making it a helpful option for individuals with an ADHD Diagnosis.

2. Anxiety and Stress Disorders: Neurotherapy can help regulate overactive brainwave patterns associated with anxiety, promoting a calmer, more balanced mental state.

3. Mood Disorders (such as Depression): By helping to stabilise brain activity, Neurotherapy may alleviate symptoms of depression, supporting improved emotional resilience and mood regulation.

4. Trauma and PTSD: Neurotherapy aids in calming hyperactive brainwave responses related to trauma, assisting in emotional regulation and reducing hypervigilance.

5. Sleep Disorders: Neurotherapy can address sleep dysregulation, promoting healthier sleep patterns by adjusting brainwave frequencies associated with restful sleep.

6. Learning and Memory Issues: Neurotherapy can support cognitive functions, such as memory retention and information processing, which are often challenging for individuals with learning difficulties.

7. Emotional Regulation Challenges: For those who struggle with emotional instability, neurotherapy can enhance self-regulation skills, promoting steadier emotional responses.

8. Autism Spectrum Disorders: Neurotherapy may support improved social engagement, communication, and sensory processing for individuals on the autism spectrum.

9. Migraines and Chronic Pain: Neurotherapy can help manage chronic pain conditions, including migraines, by addressing pain perception pathways in the brain.

10. Addictions and Habitual Behaviours: Neurotherapy can assist in modifying compulsive patterns and behaviours by targeting the brain regions associated with reward and impulse control.

Each Neurotherapy program is individually tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each client, aiming to achieve lasting improvements in well-being and cognitive health.

Types of Neurotherapy:

1. Neurofeedback: This non-invasive approach provides real-time feedback on brain activity, helping individuals adjust their brainwave patterns. It is often used to improve focus, mood stability, and emotional regulation.

2. qEEG-Guided Neurotherapy: This approach uses quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping to identify irregular brainwave patterns, allowing for a personalised neurofeedback program tailored to specific needs.

3. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): A technique that uses a mild electrical current to stimulate specific brain regions, benefiting conditions like depression, chronic pain, and certain cognitive impairments.

4. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): This non-invasive method uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells and is often used for treatment-resistant depression.

5. Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS): Similar to tDCS, tACS uses an alternating current to modulate brainwave activity at specific frequencies. It’s particularly effective in enhancing cognitive functions and supporting emotional regulation.

These neurotherapy types provide a variety of options, each designed to help the brain achieve healthier, more balanced patterns, contributing to improved mental and emotional well-being.

A quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) is a type of brain scan that maps brainwave activity. This assessment measures and records electrical patterns in the brain, which are then compared to a normative database to identify any imbalances or irregular patterns. The qEEG provides valuable insights into cognitive functioning, emotional regulation, and areas of the brain that may benefit from neurofeedback training, allowing for a personalised approach to treatment.

The number of sessions varies based on individual needs, but most people begin with a qEEG brain mapping assessment to understand their specific brainwave patterns and needs. Based on this assessment, a typical neurofeedback program includes approximately 14–20 sessions. This personalised plan helps to reinforce and sustain positive changes in brain function over time.
