Neurofeedback Wollongong

There are many benefits to participating in NFT as part of your therapy plan including:

• Acting as an effective adjunct therapy for ADHD, stress, anxiety, adjustment-related symptoms and behavioural health.
• Facilitating better communication within the brain to promote peak performance, memory recollection, as well as sensory regulation and integration.
• Supporting enhanced sensory regulation for ADHD, autism, and anxiety-related symptoms. NFT has recently been endorsed as an efficacious and specific therapy for ADHD and symptoms of anxiety in individuals across their lifespan.
• Being a non-pharmacological approach, i.e., a drug-free approach.
• Being a long-term solution, unlike medication which only works while you are taking it.
• Being safe – making it ideal for children or NDIS clients with complex needs.

A growing awareness of the brain’s ability to change and adapt, coupled with the desire of many individuals to pursue evidence-based and drug-free therapy methods has highlighted the importance of NFT as a genuine alternative to numerous other options.

At DFS, the first step in your NFT therapy plan is to have our clinicians conduct a comprehensive initial assessment at your home or in our office. This is done before formulating an individually tailored therapy plan and enables us to get to know you. We recognise that everyone’s situation, requirements and goals are unique, so we work closely with you to ensure you are comfortable.

The next step when undergoing Neurofeedback at our Wollongong clinic will involve testing your brain’s electrical activity by gently placing sensors across your scalp and ears that monitor brainwave signals.

Our qEEG diagnostic tool then applies precise mathematical and statistical analysis to your brainwave patterns and compares them to neurotypical brainwaves in order to create your unique brain map.

Using this brain map we then identify patterns outside of the neurotypical range and any related disruptions. Together these techniques help us create tailored therapy plans and approaches designed to help you meet your goals.

Your therapy will be tracked, monitored, and consistently reviewed by our skilled clinicians and an experienced neurofeedback technician in the United States. This allows us to tweak therapy as necessary and deliver the desired outcomes for our clients. Our goal is to have you live your best possible life.

NFT is a long-term strategy that requires a degree of commitment and patience to bring about lasting changes in brain activity. Just as a single run cannot prepare you for a marathon, the same is true for NFT and your brain’s behaviour.

Most people begin to notice subtle changes sometime between their second and fifth sessions. Lasting change, however, is best achieved through long term therapy which could be 30-50 sessions or more over an extended period.

No, NFT works to improve your mood and deliver better brainwave regulation for a calmer, happier existence. You will feel less inclined to be angry or agitated by formerly triggering situations, but who you are will not change. Your likes, dislikes and hobbies will remain the same.

Following neurofeedback in Wollongong some clients may feel tired, irritable, anxious or have a headache. This is more common during longer, more intensive sessions.

These symptoms usually subside within a short time of the sessions end. Please always raise any concerns you have regarding side effects with your neurofeedback Wollongong practitioner.
