Your Time and Commitment requirement. Neurofeedback Brain Training allows your brain and central nervous system to release old habits and re-train in a healthier form. It’s like going to the gym for your brain – so it takes time and commitment on your part. On average, clients complete a Program of 10-15 sessions with us, some more and some less, with some clients reporting a noticeable change early in their Training. It is common practice for those accessing home rental systems to access a monthly rental once or twice yearly.
We measure your progress. Before you start your Brain Training Program with us, you will be asked to complete clinically supported psychological and emotional well-being assessments to gauge your individual starting point. Your intake assessments are tested and retested at the start and end of your rental program to monitor overall progress.
Neurofeedback Technology for emotional well-being
We help patients live life to the fullest. We aim to work with you to enable you to participate in the day-to-day activities you want to or need to do. Mental health issues can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to carry out everyday activities. Everyone is unique in what difficulties they experience, but some common areas of difficulty include how to manage emotions.
Neurofeedback technology is a type of Assistive Technology that improves functioning and independence and supports a person with a disability to reach their goals in the home, the community and the workplace. With the support of this technology, no matter what’s important to you, you can achieve, develop and learn just like everyone else.
