01
Does it hurt?
No. Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive and pain-free. Nothing goes into the brain—we simply monitor brain activity using small sensors placed on the scalp.
The area is cleaned with an alcohol wipe. Sensors are placed on the scalp with the help of a conductive paste and a skin prep gel.
02
Are there any side effects?
Most people experience no side effects. Occasionally, someone might feel a bit tired or have a mild headache after a session, but this usually passes quickly.
We closely monitor your response and adjust the training as needed to keep things comfortable.
03
How soon will I notice the changes?
Some people notice changes after just one session, others after a few sessions. Improved sleep or feeling calmer tend to be the most immediate benefits. For others, it may take a bit longer.
Everyone’s brain is different, but research shows committing to a minimum of 20 sessions is optimal to allow for the cumulative benefits to hold longer term.
04
Is Neurofeedback available on the NHS?
Currently, Neurofeedback isn’t widely available through the NHS although several NHS trusts are piloting neurofeedback programs, and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London, have been involved in research studies for ADHD.
Currently Neurofeedback is mainly offered privately in the UK, though we hope that changes as awareness and research continue to grow.
