ADD & ADHD

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are common neurodevelopmental conditions that affect both children and adults. People with ADD/ADHD may find it challenging to focus, stay organized, manage time, or control impulses. For some, hyperactivity or restlessness adds another layer of difficulty. These challenges can impact daily life, from school and work performance to relationships and self-esteem.

Anxiety

While some stress is natural and can even enhance performance, chronic stress and anxiety can significantly impair daily functioning. When the brain is exposed to prolonged stress, it can become locked in high-alert patterns that are difficult to break, disrupting our ability to return to a calm, relaxed state.

Neurofeedback provides a non-invasive way to retrain the brain’s response to stress, helping it shift out of a fight-or-flight loop and into a state of balance. By promoting flexibility and self-regulation in the nervous system, neurofeedback supports long-term emotional resilience, calm, and clarity.

Sleep & Fatigue

Sleep is a crucial time for the brain to organise, prioritise, and integrate information absorbed during the day. It’s a well-established fact that mental functioning deteriorates almost twice as fast as physical performance when sleep is compromised.

Neurofeedback therapy is an effective tool for restoring natural sleep rhythms. It works by training the brain to enhance control and flexibility, facilitating the central nervous system’s smooth transition from an active to a restful state. This training helps the brain relearn the process of falling asleep naturally and maintaining a healthy sleep cycle.

Brain Trauma (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs when a sudden impact or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. This can result from falls, sports injuries, vehicle accidents, or other trauma. Even mild TBIs (concussions) can lead to lasting symptoms such as headaches, brain fog, memory issues, mood swings, and trouble concentrating.

TBI can affect every aspect of daily life—work, relationships, sleep, and mental health. At BrainWorks, we understand the invisible struggles that come with head injuries and offer personalized support to help your brain recover.

Depression

Depression is more than sadness. It can feel like a heavy fog that affects your energy, motivation, sleep, focus, appetite, and sense of joy. It often involves imbalanced brain activity, particularly in areas related to mood regulation.

Depression can range from mild to severe, and while medication and therapy help some people, others seek drug-free, brain-based options like neurofeedback.

Strokes

A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients. Depending on the area affected, a stroke can lead to challenges with speech, movement, memory, emotional regulation, and overall cognitive function.

Recovery after a stroke can be a long and difficult journey. Even after physical healing, the brain may remain imbalanced or struggle to return to previous levels of functioning. Neurofeedback offers a supportive approach to aid the brain’s natural healing process.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Neurofeedback really helped get my sleep and cognitive issues back on track. It was very convenient, simple and relaxing being able to do the sessions from home.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the series of neurofeedback sessions not long back to help with public speaking anxiety. Since then i have observed a noticeable improvement in how i feel when i am speaking at work or in public. The neurofeedback was the driver for this. My feelings of anxiety have not gone completely by any means but they have diminished and that is a step forward.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having discovered neurofeedback from reading The Body Keeps The Score, I was quite enchanted by the prospect of actually healing my brain and not just quieting the symptoms via adhd medicine and other drugs. This led to me Brainwork’s and in particular James and Cora who have helped me to heal my brain and be essentially fully regulated. I really gained so much from this experiences and I strongly recommend this to anyone willing to invest in themselves! Thanks so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Neurofeedback was a treatment I used in treating Codependency and Complex Trauma. I was very naive in the beginning. I was expecting to 'take a pill and get fixed'. Healing from intergenerational trauma takes a lot more than this. Only you can heal yourself. I was stuck, engaged in a lifetime of defensive patterns of thoughts, unable to concentrate, or function. The neurofeedback treatment allowed me over time to ground myself and to learn about these defensive parts of me. It gave me the insight to see  my thoughts clearly without engaging in them. A lot of the emotions that went with them subsided. I then went on to use Internal Family Systems Therapy to work with these protective parts inside of me and to release the burdens they have been protecting from since childhood. Please don't see neurofeedback as an all in one cure, what it was for me though was the tool to get my brain working in a functional way, grounded, which then allowed me to do the healing. I have read that it has been compared to 'Mindfulness on steroids'. This is very true. Before I started I could not meditate as I was fully engaged in my defensive thoughts. Now though with three years of doing the work above I regularly meditate and am now centred in my ''Self' in the present throughout, with my parts coming and going occasionally. Healing is only possible when you can stay present enough to see your behaviour, to recognise where it has originated and to understand that it was once trying to protect you but now is not relevant. Neurofeedback helped me to get to and stay in that place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the Bristol branch of Brainworks Neurotherapy about 7 years ago. The Neurofeedback I received from James, Sarah amd Allison really helped me improve my brain function and overall quality of life. I still deal with learning difficulties but since doing the two week intensive my life has been much better since. Brain stimulation is the future especially if you are stuck with some learning or attention problem especially if you know you give everything in life your best, but always  struggle and fall behind regardless. Would recommend and plan to another intensive at some point in the future.

Frequently asked

questions

01 : How long do neurofeedback results last?

Neurofeedback benefits tend to be different for each individual. With consistent training the new neuro-connections / pathways are integrated and become dominant over time. A healthy lifestyle does help to support the process..

02 : Will I get a diagnosis? Is it a cure?

We don’t diagnose, nor is a diagnosis required to understand the problem. We map your brain, looking for areas of over or under-activity that correspond to your symptoms, and design a brain training programme to help you move forward.

For this reason, neurofeedback is better viewed as ‘personal training’ rather than a ‘treatment’; a way to shift your mind out of stuck patterns to relieve the corresponding symptoms. Nor is neurofeedback a ‘cure’ for these diagnosed conditions; we work toward symptom resolution by resolving the underlying imbalances.

03 : Are there any side effects?

Because neurofeedback is essentially structured exercises for your brain, the term ‘side effect’ isn’t applicable in the same sense as for medications. Unlike medication, nothing is put into the body or brain.

Neurofeedback brain training is teaching the brain into new positions. As such, some clients report feeling tired in the same way they do learning new skills. Others, feel more energised as their brain comes into better balance.

As with all holistic therapies, there can be a temporary amplification of old moods for those with emotional conditions or trauma before the difficulty passes away and the issue fades away.

04 : What results can I expect?

Everyone is coming from a different place and everyone’s goals are different.

We prioritise your training to meet your goals, and you can expect to get a good degree of movement towards those goals.

The shifts are so organic to the brain that the way you feel and act seem perfectly natural – and it is, as you are acting more like yourself and less from automatic reactions. It doesn’t mean you won’t encounter life’s problems anymore, it just means you’ll handle them in a healthier way and the feelings won’t linger as before.

05: How many sessions will I need?

Typically, the more long standing the symptoms the more sessions are required. You can expect the gains to be cumulative over the course. Young brains tend to learn much faster than older ones, and a small issue shifts generally quicker than a big one.

AVERAGE NUMBER OF SESSIONS
The average number is 20 sessions which gives a good degree of symptom resolution. Occasionally people may continue with more if needed.

Our minimum is 12 sessions. This might be for a tune up or to help with newer issues.

06 : What is Neuroplasticity?

Our brains are constantly being shaped by experience. Most of us have very different behaviours and thoughts today than we did 20 years ago. This shift is neuroplasticity in action; changes in brain structure and organisation as we experience, learn, and adapt.
