Our Philosophy defines our whole approach to our work and our lives. Our symbol, ‘phi’ has been celebrated as a sign of purity, the Golden Ratio.

At some point in our lives, we all need guidance and we at Brain Care, believe that, with personalised support, everyone can improve the quality of their lives. Our approach is based on acceptance and respect of each individual. We work closely with you to find the guidance you need to create positive change in your life.

At Brain Care we not only have Psychological counselling and services, we also work with adults and children in the area of Peak Performance training to enhance their actual brain performance.

We determine training protocols through a comprehensive series of assessments initially to help us determine strengths and weaknesses in brain functioning. The assessments are described under ‘assessments’ and include 3D imaging of the brain, both in resting states and whilst completing tasks; we also record measurements of cognitive ability; and comprehensive social emotional scales. These assessments compliment each other and the evidence from each unravels more of the brain’s secrets. We call this a Brain Function Profile (BFP).

From this information we are able determine specific protocols for training the brain or what is called neuromodulation. We use a number of different styles of equipment – all state of the art – to show the brain how to improve itself. The results are frequently stunning. We work with some of the leading neuroscientists in the world to achieve these results.

Basically we place sensors on the scalp in the areas that have demonstrated difficulty based on the BFP we have measured. These are connected to an amplifier, which is then connected to a computer system and a screen. A personalised program is set up and the therapist can see the electrical activity of the brain from the area of the sensors. The client watches a movie on the screen and their brain controls the whole computer system. When the brain randomly discovers the electrical output we are trying to encourage, the brain is rewarded with a large screen and sound, when the brain produces the old pattern of electrical output, the movie goes small and quiet. The brain is clever and it very quickly self corrects as it wants to see the movie. Over time and training the brain mostly is able to change its patterns to what we are trying to encourage.

As the brain improves so does the ability to learn. When the brain is able to learn more effectively, it can then catch up with things it has missed in the past. Speech therapists and OT’s tell is it makes their work a lot easier once their clients have finished Neurofeedback training.

We combine this Neurofeedback therapy with other forms of treatment including Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, (TDCS), Audio Visual Entrainment (AVE)

Sound Therapy, EMDR, Family Counselling, and support in the home and at school. Programs are designed and tailored for the individual and the family.

“It has changed Evie’s life so much and our whole families life for the better.”

Sometimes – in fact quite often – talk therapy is not enough and that is why we delved into this area of neuromodulation. We really wanted to help people to positively change and improve their lives. .

Areas that we have a great deal of success in- either completely normalizing the client or dramatically improving their functioning – include Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, ADHD, Learning difficulties, Anxiety, Depression and especially Epilepsy.

All of this is Peak Performance training for the brain. Trying to maximize the potential of the brain, no matter what our starting point is. What is truly remarkable is Peak Performance training for athletes, for executives and for people in the academic arena.

Brain Training is a journey we go on together. At times there can be setbacks as recovery can be like that, but overall there is progressive improvement. Each setback is just as important as it is like another layer of the onion that we need to get through. We encourage feedback and working together through this journey. It is like going to the gym, you need a number of sessions to consolidate the training.
