Could Neurofeedback Fit Your Goals?
We work with children, teens and adults. A consultation helps clarify whether neurofeedback is a reasonable option for concerns involving attention, self-regulation, stress, sleep or cognitive stamina.

Explore qEEG brain mapping →What Is Neurofeedback and How Does It Work?
Neurofeedback is a form of EEG biofeedback. Sensors placed on the scalp record brain activity; they do not send electricity into the brain.
Software provides immediate visual or auditory feedback linked to selected EEG patterns. Across repeated sessions, clients practise attention and self-regulation skills while progress is reviewed against meaningful functional goals.
- Comfortable scalp sensors record EEG activity.
- On-screen or auditory feedback responds in real time.
- Training is reviewed and adjusted against agreed goals.
What Is qEEG Brain Mapping?
An EEG records electrical activity from the scalp. qEEG is a quantitative analysis of that recording.
When clinically indicated, findings are considered alongside symptoms, developmental and medical history, medications, sleep and assessment information. qEEG is not a stand-alone diagnosis, brain scan or replacement for medical EEG or neurological evaluation.

Neurofeedback Research and Evidence
Research findings differ by condition, protocol and outcome measure. We discuss both potential benefits and important limitations.
ADHD & Attention
Some reviews report improvement, while findings are more cautious in blinded studies. Neurofeedback should complement comprehensive assessment and guideline-supported care.
Read the ADHD evidence review →PTSD & Trauma
Early research suggests possible benefit for some trauma-related symptoms, but evidence remains limited and heterogeneous. It is considered adjunctive to established trauma care.
Read the PTSD evidence review →Depression
Evidence remains exploratory. Neurofeedback is not an established first-line treatment and should not replace indicated psychotherapy, medication or medical care.

Neurofeedback FAQs
Practical information to help you decide whether to book a consultation.
What is neurofeedback and how does it work?
Neurofeedback is EEG biofeedback. Scalp sensors record brain activity and software provides immediate visual or auditory feedback linked to selected EEG patterns. The sensors do not send electricity into the brain.
Is qEEG brain mapping the same as neurofeedback?
No. qEEG is a quantitative analysis of recorded scalp EEG activity. Neurofeedback is the training process that uses feedback during sessions.
Can qEEG diagnose ADHD, autism or another condition?
No. qEEG is not a stand-alone diagnostic test. Findings may inform clinical planning, but diagnosis requires an appropriate clinical assessment.
What happens at the first appointment?
We review your goals, relevant history, current supports and questions. We explain what neurofeedback and qEEG can and cannot answer, then recommend the most appropriate next step.
How many neurofeedback sessions will I need?
There is no universal number of sessions. Before treatment begins, we explain the proposed schedule and an initial review point. Functional outcomes are monitored so training can be adjusted, paused or discontinued when continuing is not clinically supported.
Should I stop medication before neurofeedback or qEEG?
Do not stop or change prescribed medication unless directed by your prescribing professional. Please tell us about medications and supplements so they can be considered during planning.
Does insurance cover neurofeedback or qEEG?
Coverage varies by insurer, plan and practitioner eligibility. Psychological services may be eligible for reimbursement, and direct billing may be available. Please verify your benefits; payment is not guaranteed.
Start with a clear, pressure-free conversation.
We’ll clarify your goals, explain the evidence and limitations, and help you decide whether neurofeedback, qEEG or another service is the most appropriate next step.
