Concussions, a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI), can occur from impacts to the head or rapid movements of the body. Often, concussions may not involve a loss of consciousness, and it’s possible to have a concussion without realising it.
The Long-Term Effects
These injuries can lead to a variety of neurological and psychological symptoms, including anger, sleep disturbances, concentration difficulties, headaches, and memory loss. These symptoms can persist and significantly impact a person’s life, even years after the initial injury.
How Neurofeedback Can Help
We use noninvasive qEEG technology to pinpoint specific areas of damage in the brain. Neurofeedback therapy then leverages the brain’s neuroplasticity, creating new neural pathways to circumvent damaged areas, aiding in healing and restoring brain functions.
Personalised Treatment for Diverse Cases
Each client with a brain injury has a unique story and set of challenges. Neurofeedback has shown potential in addressing symptoms across a broad spectrum of brain injuries. Research indicates significant improvements in mood, sleep quality, and cognitive abilities for those undergoing neurofeedback therapy.
Measurable Improvements with Neurofeedback
Studies reveal that 88% of individuals with mild head injuries show a 50% improvement in qEEG coherence scores after neurofeedback therapy. We’ve observed notable enhancements in working memory, immediate recall, attention, information retention, and reductions in depression and fatigue. Clients also report significant improvements in occupational and social functioning, speech, reading, writing, and emotional stability, along with reduced anxiety, anger, and mood issues.

Practice makes perfect
Neuroplasticity and Personal Transformation
Some people find that neurofeedback sessions can make them temporarily tired, as is the case with any form of exercise. Others find it energising. It all depends on your baselines and goals.
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.
Neurofeedback is not yet recognised by the NHS.
If you are located in the USA, Neurofeedback is covered by most US health insurance companies.
Any reductions in medication should be handled by your doctor. NEVER stop taking or alter your dosage of prescribed medications without consulting with the prescribing physician.
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.
[After the Safe and Sound Protocol], I feel like I could finally connect with myself, recognize and accept who I actually am, and all of a sudden know what my needs are.
So much of what people are taught about therapy reinforces that they have to think it out and work it out in their minds. Kids and adults alike over-intellectualize therapy. The SSP is a lovely invitation into your body.
I am extremely thankful for the SSP and the reduction in depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts it has given me. I am able to enjoy life again and experience calmness. I have motivation to change my lifestyle, and I’m even optimistic about the future.
I truly believe that the SSP resets the nervous system, and has my son feeling safe rather than being in constant fight or flight.
I had two strokes before I came here and my memory, concentration, and my focus and attention span were bad. I couldn’t remember much at all. After a few sessions I started to notice a difference in the way I was at home. After neurofeedback I’m doing much better, I am driving and I wouldn’t drive before. I wouldn’t communicate much and now I get out and go to a couple different groups and go into crowds. I am a teacher and now I can go back to work.
This is just a big thank you! What a remarkable treatment you offer, I have to say that the difference it has made to me is enormous. I genuinely feel much more at ease in myself and all the tension is going in my head and body. Not to mention the increase in my focus both short term and long term. I actually feel like I could make long term plans and stick to them !
