What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is an advanced brain training technique that uses real-time monitoring of brainwave activity to support mental and emotional well-being. At OK Clinical, neurofeedback is offered in combination with counselling, providing a holistic and integrated approach to mental health care. This pairing allows clients to explore the root causes of their challenges in talk therapy while using neurofeedback to help the brain build new, healthier patterns.

Key Benefits:
  • Improved sleep and relaxation
  • Better mental clarity and focus
  • Relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma
  • Enhanced emotional regulation
  • Increased cognitive performance and memory

How Does Integrated Counselling with Neurofeedback Help Your Brain?

When combined with counselling, neurofeedback enhances the therapeutic process by supporting the brain’s ability to regulate emotions, manage stress, and process challenges more effectively. While talk therapy helps you explore thoughts, behaviours, and patterns, neurofeedback works behind the scenes to reinforce calm, focus, and resilience. Using an EEG machine, we monitor your brain’s electrical activity and provide real-time audio and visual feedback to help your brain shift out of dysregulation and into more balanced, healthy patterns, creating lasting change from the inside out.

The Science of Neurofeedback:
Rewiring the Brain for Better Living

Neurofeedback works by leveraging the brain’s natural ability to change, this is known as neuroplasticity. Through guided training, your brain learns to recognize optimal states, self-regulate, and create healthier neural connections for long-term mental well-being.

Why Consider Neurofeedback?
A Science-Backed Approach to Mental Wellness

Neurofeedback helps retrain the brain to function more efficiently. By regulating brainwave activity, it promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, and improved cognitive performance, helping people of all ages overcome various mental health challenges.
Neurofeedback has proven to be effective in helping with:
  • Mood & Emotional Regulation: Anxiety, depression, trauma, and intense anger.
  • Neurodevelopmental Conditions: ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, and dyslexia.
  • Cognitive & Executive Functioning: Brain fog, memory issues, and self-regulation challenges.
  • Serious Mental Health Conditions: Psychosis and schizophrenia management.
  • Chronic & Physical Health Challenges: Chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances.

Is Neurofeedback Right for You?

Neurofeedback isn’t just for those with a diagnosis, it’s for anyone looking to enhance brain function, improve focus, and regulate emotions more effectively. Whether you're a high-achieving professional, a student struggling with concentration, or someone seeking emotional balance, neurofeedback can help you gain control over your mind and daily life.

Neurofeedback may be a great fit if you:
  • Feel mentally foggy or unfocused and want to improve clarity and cognitive function.
  • Struggle with stress, anxiety, or overthinking and need better emotional regulation.
  • Have trouble sleeping or managing energy levels and want a natural, non-medication-based solution.
  • Are a student or professional wanting better focus and memory retention.
  • Experience emotional ups and downs or mood swings and want to feel more balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is neurofeedback covered by benefits?
Integrated Counselling Session with Neurofeedback can be covered under extended health benefits when provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). Please check with your benefits provider.
Are Integrated Counselling and Nuerofeedback sessions covered by the Autism Funding Unit (AFU)?
Yes, these sessions at OK Clinical are eligible for AFU coverage, as they are delivered by qualified providers. Our team can help guide you through the approval process to ensure funding is applied correctly.
How does neurofeedback help?
Neurofeedback helps by training the brain to self-regulate and function more efficiently. It can improve various aspects of mental functioning, such as focus, emotional regulation, and behavior, which can be particularly beneficial for those with anxiety, depression, symptoms of OCD, Dyslexia, Autism, AD(h)D and a variety of other neuropsychological symptoms.
What is the typical session duration?
At OK Clinical, neurofeedback is offered as part of an integrated clinical counselling session. Each appointment is 50 minutes in total, with the neurofeedback portion varying in length based on your individualized treatment plan. This allows time for both the neurofeedback training and supportive clinical counselling tailored to your needs.
Are there any side effects or risks?
On rare occasions clients may experience a very temporary increase in symptoms. Any concerns should be directed to your trainer or counsellor.
Is neurofeedback safe for children?
Yes, neurofeedback is non-invasive and safe for children. It uses EEG sensors to monitor brain activity and provide feedback, without introducing any external stimuli or medications.
How soon will I see improvements?
Neurofeedback outcomes vary by individual, influenced by factors like symptom severity, consistency of sessions, and neurological baseline. While some report subtle shifts in focus or mood within the first few sessions, clinically meaningful symptom reduction (e.g., decreased anxiety, improved attention, or better sleep regulation) typically emerges after 10-15 sessions. At this stage, patients often observe 1-2 target symptoms beginning to diminish as the brain strengthens self-regulatory pathways. Progress is incremental, reflecting the brain’s adaptive process through neuroplasticity. Regular assessments ensure protocols remain aligned with your goals. For most, sustained improvement requires continued training beyond initial changes.
How do I prepare for a neurofeedback session?
Ensure you are well-rested (when possible) and have eaten a light meal before the session. Avoid caffeine and sugary foods.
Can neurofeedback be combined with other therapies?
Neurofeedback is a flexible, evidence-based tool that can be effectively combined with a variety of therapeutic approaches offered in comprehensive counseling settings. It complements somatic therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), talk therapy, play therapy, game therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and other modalities to address complex neurological, emotional, and trauma-related challenges. How it works in practice: - EMDR: Neurofeedback can help stabilize the nervous system, creating a calmer physiological state to improve readiness for trauma processing. - Somatic therapies: By regulating stress-related brainwave patterns, neurofeedback may enhance a client’s ability to engage with body-focused interventions. - Talk therapy or DBT: Neurofeedback’s impact on emotional regulation or anxiety reduction can support deeper engagement in skill-building or insight-oriented work. - Play/game therapy: Improved attention or impulse control from neurofeedback may help children participate more actively in therapeutic play.
What should I expect after the session?
Most people feel relaxed and calm after a session. Some might be slightly tired or more energetic than usual. It’s important to observe your energy levels and note any changes in behavior or mood.
How do I track my progress?
Regular check-ins with the neurofeedback counsellor, and using standardized assessment tools, provides insights into your ongoing improvements.
Why integrate neurofeedback with other therapies?
Neurofeedback targets the brain’s self-regulation capacity, addressing neural patterns that influence emotional reactivity, focus, and stress responses. When integrated into multidisciplinary care plans, it provides a neurobiological foundation that can enhance the effectiveness of other therapies. Clinicians collaborate to align protocols, ensuring interventions are cohesive and non-redundant. Research highlights the benefits of combining neurofeedback with therapies like EMDR or somatic approaches for conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related dysregulation. Integration assists with: 1. Layered intervention: Addresses both neurological underpinnings and psychological symptoms. 2. Adaptability: Suitable for diverse needs, from trauma recovery to developmental support. 3. Evidence-based: Supported by studies demonstrating improved outcomes when paired with modalities like EMDR or DBT.
