Optimise your brain with an individualised program 

It is important for us that our clients feel confident and comfortable in the process, and it's typical for them to have many questions, so we always encourage arranging an initial free telephone consultation. We will carry out a thorough assessment to help identify the most optimum training plan that is individualised based on each client's unique goals but our process works like this…

01 FREE CONSULTATION

The first step on your brain training journey is a free consultation. If you want more information or have any questions, please book a call with us.  

02 INITIAL ASSESSMENT (ESSENTIAL)  

Before the first session, you will be asked to complete some online forms that include cognitive assessments and a health questionnaire. 

There will then be a 1.5 hour session where we undertake a QEEG brain mapping exercise. You can find out more here.

You will then have a 30 minute telephone consultation where we will go over the results of the QEEG and talk you through a training plan. 

03 Brain TRAINING

You will then begin your Neurofeedback sessions. Find out more about Neurofeedback and what to expect here. We require 20 sessions, and at least one session per week is required but two is preferable. Each session takes about an hour from start to finish. If you wish to train more intensively you can have up to 3 sessions per week.  

You will also be asked to complete a weekly symptom tracker to closely monitor your progress. After 20 sessions, you will have the option to continue with training if you wish to.

04 REPEAT ASSESSMENT (OPTIONAL)

After 20 sessions, you have the option to repeat brain mapping (QEEG) and cognitive assessment if desired to track progress against your goals. 

05 Maintenance

Some of our clients, once they have completed their training program, like to keep in touch and have occasional 'top-up' sessions.

what happens in a neurofeedback session?

During a session, a few sensors are applied to your head with a sticky paste, which measures your brain's electrical activity by real-time electroencephalogram (EEG). These are processed and displayed on computer software.  

You sit in a comfortable chair facing a large screen. The computer is connected to this screen and will show you visual feedback, such as a movie, an animation or a video game, which is modulated by your unique brain activity.  

Through this feedback, the training software helps move your brain towards what may be associated with pleasant relaxation or calm focus, for example (depending on your individualised training plan). When the brain meets these parameters, this translates into a reward on the screen (brighter screen and colours, louder music). Your brain interprets this information and learns to adapt to obtain further rewards. Thanks to its 'neuroplasticity', the brain can more easily reach regulated states with more training and practice.

Is neurofeedback right for me?

Optiminds clients

Neurofeedback can be used for a variety of purposes and to address many conditions:

  • Neurofeedback can help individuals learn to control and reduce their stress and anxiety levels, manage

    excessive worry or overthinking, regulate emotions, enhance well-being, and improve overall quality of life.

  • Neurofeedback can support children or adults who are experiencing specific symptoms related to cognitive performance, including attention, processing speed, cognitive efficiency and memory.

  • Neurofeedback can optimise performance in sports by enhancing focus, efficiency, mental resilience under stressful conditions, and head injury recovery.

  • Beyond addressing specific health concerns, Neurofeedback can optimise performance in business by improving focus, productivity, stress management, sleep quality and managing pressure/overwhelm.

If you have a brain you can train.

It can help anyone, from children to adults, to improve their brain function.
