Your Brain, Clearly Understood

Life can feel confusing when your thoughts, mood, or focus don’t line up with how you want to feel or function. Sometimes the source of that struggle is clear; other times, it’s hard to pinpoint what’s getting in the way. Brain Mapping (qEEG) offers a calm, non-invasive way to look beneath the surface—turning your brain’s activity into a clear picture that helps make sense of what you’re experiencing.

Each person’s brain is unique. Your history, strengths, stressors, and environment all shape the patterns we see. Brain Mapping doesn’t label or judge; it provides insight. With a supportive clinician by your side, you’ll explore what the map suggests and how it can guide next steps—whether that’s targeted counselling goals, skills practice at home, neurofeedback, or simply a better understanding of yourself. Our aim is gentle clarity and practical direction, so you can move forward with confidence.

What is Brain Mapping?

Brain Mapping qEEG (short for quantitative electroencephalography) is a safe, non-invasive way to record your brain’s electrical activity. Small sensors are gently placed on the scalp to measure brainwaves while you sit comfortably.

Those recordings are analyzed and compared to validated clinical/normative databases to create clear visual maps, which are often shown as topographic or 3D-style renderings of how different brain regions are functioning and communicating. These visuals can highlight patterns linked to concerns such as attention and focus, mood regulation, sleep, sensory processing, and changes after concussion/brain injury (e.g., anxiety, ADHD, depression, insomnia).

Note: Brain Mapping does not diagnose or treat conditions on its own. It provides an objective picture of your brain’s activity that can inform next steps in your care.

How Can Brain Mapping Help Me?

Understanding how your brain is working is the first step toward meaningful change. Brain Mapping turns brainwave data into clear visuals and practical direction:

  • Objective insight: Reveals patterns tied to focus/attention, mood regulation, sleep quality, sensory processing, and self-regulation, so you’re not guessing.

  • Connects symptoms to patterns: Helps identify potential contributors to challenges like distractibility, low mood, anxiety, or poor sleep.

  • Personalized next steps: Informs a tailored plan, whether counselling goals, skills practice at home, neurofeedback, or referrals to other supports.

  • Roadmap & baseline: Provides a starting point you can use to track progress over time and adjust your plan as you go.

  • Comfort & safety: Fully non-invasive, gentle sensor placement, and a calm, clinician-guided experience designed to keep you relaxed.

How to Get Started:

Brain Mapping (qEEG) can support adults, teens, and children who want clearer insight into patterns related to attention/focus, stress and mood, sleep, sensory processing, or recovery after setbacks. It does not diagnose conditions; rather, it highlights patterns that help craft a personalized care plan.

Your Brain Mapping Journey

  1. Book a Free 20-minute consult (online)
    A quick conversation to confirm Brain Mapping is a good fit, answer questions, and outline preparation and next steps.

  2. Initial Assessment — 1 hour ($175 + GST)
    We review your history and goals, explain the process, and tailor the mapping session to you. 

  3. Brain Map — Full Session — ~1.5 hours ($325 + GST)
    Sensors are gently placed on your scalp to record brain activity. You’ll sit quietly for short intervals, about 15–20 minutes of actual recording time, to ensure accurate data. 

  4. Results & Recommendations — 1 hour ($425 + GST)
    We walk through your clinician-prepared report, explain findings in plain language, and discuss next steps (e.g., counselling focus, skills practice, neurofeedback options). Full payment is required before reports are released. Typical turnaround to your results discussion is ~1–2 weeks.

How Brain Mapping differs from Psychological Assessments & Neurofeedback

Psychological Assessments evaluate learning, cognition, and behaviour via standardized tests and clinical interviews.

Neurofeedback is a training/therapy approach; Brain Mapping often serves as the starting map that helps choose direction for training or other interventions.

Brain Mapping (qEEG) captures physiological brain activity to visualize functional patterns.

What to Expect & How to Prepare

Frequently Asked Questions

1Is Brain Mapping safe and does it hurt?
It’s non-invasive and painless; sensors only record activity and do not deliver stimulation.
2How long does it take?
Plan for a consult call (20 min), an initial assessment (~60 min), a recording session (~90 min including setup), and a results appointment (~60 min). These different sessions typically take place on different days and will be scheduled out by your clinican based on availability.
3Is Brain Mapping appropriate for children?
Yes. The process is gentle and can be adapted for kids; the goal is comfort and stillness during short recording intervals.
4Does Brain Mapping diagnose conditions?
No. It visualizes patterns of brain activity to inform care; it is not a medical diagnosis or treatment on its own.
5What comes after Brain Mapping?
Your report and recap session outline next-step options (counselling goals, skills training, neurofeedback) so you can choose what fits best.
