Tuning Out Distractions, Turning up the Focus
Neurofeedback training is particularly effective in helping individuals tune out distractions and background chatter. By increasing processing speed and focusing mental energies on the task at hand, it enables smoother cognitive functioning. This enhanced focus translates into greater poise under pressure, faster recovery from errors, and reduced overthinking during critical moments.
Emotional Control and Concentration
What often sets the best performers apart is not just skill, but also their drives concentration, and emotional management, especially in high-pressure environments. Neurofeedback aids in developing these aspects by training the brain to maintain calm and focus, even in challenging situations.
A Growing Trend in High-Performance Fields
Recognising its benefits, neurofeedback is fast becoming a standard training tool in Olympic and professional sports. Its application is also growing in the business community, where high stakes and pressure are commonplace. For professionals in these fields, Neurofeedback offers a way to harness skillsets more effectively, ensuring performance consistently matches potential.
By integrating neurofeedback into your training regimen, high performers can gain a significant edge, enhancing their ability to perform at their best when it matters the most.

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.
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.
Choosing healthier lifestyles supports the process. As does moderating alcohol and drug use.
Your therapist will give you personalised recommendation if needed.
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.
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 !
I feel like I am more balanced, able to pull back from situations and look at them, look at facts more than focus on what I’m feeling. Little things happen that I react differently to. I don’t notice in the moment but very shortly after, I realise I responded in a different way without thinking about it
This is life-changing for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you. This was a completely different experience to anything I have ever experienced before. I believe there is still a bit of work Neurofeedback wise to do in executive functioning areas and I definitely still experience some things emotionally that I think need work, but I am blown away by the difference.
I have just finished the meat of the first essay of three essays this year, having had two sets of sessions with Brainworks. The experience has been utterly extraordinary. I have loved writing it, I have loved the subject, I have loved reading, analysing what I ve written and writing down my own thoughts. I have understood, digested and focussed. I have completed this in the space of a week and half and loved every minute of it. I still have a lot of editing to do, but I do have the meat and the bones. Not only this, but recently I had a weekends training and I not only enjoyed the lectures, but I was significantly involved in the discussions afterwards and even asked multiple questions. What an incredible difference from before.
