Brain Training Sessions

Assessment

For the assessment, one and a half hours is needed to do brain mapping. To do this we place non-invasive electrodes on your head which is incorporated into a cap to measure the activity in your brain. Analysis and reports are done afterwards. Based on the findings from the QEEG and clinical assessment, we develop a training programme of neurofeedback with counselling or coaching incorporated into it if necessary.
Discussion

After assessment we briefly discuss the assessment results and your aims. Once the client has left, the therapist works through the information and a detailed report is compiled with the client's aims in mind and sent to the client. In this report we set out a plan for neurofeedback training sessions.
Sessions

We train up to each person's individual limit. For adults, sessions are typically 40 to 50 minutes of training time. For children, sessions are typically shorter. You perform tasks while connected to a computer. We track your brain activity by means of state-of-the-art software. Feedback on the brain activity (‘rewards’) is given as sounds (e.g. beeps) and visual cues. When your brain hears itself and registers these rewards it auto correct itself.

Testimonials

"I have just completed 30 sessions for post traumatic syndrome having had a traumatic event within my family. Before my Neurofeedback training I was exhausted, very emotional and foggy in my thoughts. I am now feeling so much stronger within myself and able to cope with the ups and downs of life with a much clearer mind. Jackie is so supportive and full of knowledge and wisdom. however if you just don’t want to talk anymore it is lovely to know that the Neurofeedback training is supporting you within itself. I can highly recommend BrainHarmonics and intend to do further training"

"I has been doing this treatment for 10 sessions and I can already feel the difference. I was so stressed out and anxious when I started and now I'm feeling more relaxed and capable to think better and achive much more. Jackie is a great person to talk to! Thank you!"

"Last August I was hit by a bus and received a head injury. Jackie and neurofeedback were recommended to me. My first reaction was ‘no way, this sort of thing won’t help me, just a waste of my time and money’ My family persuaded me to give it a go. 60 sessions later and I am so grateful. My brain function and thought process have progressively developed resulting in a very noticeable increase in cognitive sharpness and enhanced memory. My outlook on life is calmer and more positive. The whole process has given me increased insight allowing life to return to normal. Additionally, Jackie and Walter offer tremendous psychological support. I highly recommend Brainharmonics and will continue with them in to the future."

OUR HISTORY & FUTURE

Jackie Cloete (PhD Counsl)

I have been involved in pastoral counselling for the past sixteen years and have obtained my PhD in Counselling from the Trinity International Bible University in 2013.

During all the years that I have counselled people, I have been aware of the necessity to remove any physical conditions which are the underlying issue when counselling people with depression and a general sense of unwell being. It might seem strange to look at counselling from this point of view, but many times the issues that cause people to seek counselling actually has a physical component that, when addressed, makes it so much easier for the client to move beyond the depression, the feeling of being irritated for no apparent reason or even just not having joy and energy.

After my son had a nearly fatal head injury and suffered from pain, memory loss, frustration, irritability and a host of other symptoms, I came across an article on Neurofeedback. At this stage I was researching alternative methods of pain relief as the medication that was prescribed did not alleviate the pain and it aggravated his feelings of being out of control. He was so medicated at that stage that he could not function and had to drop out of school. No amount of counselling could sort out the physical situation.

With more than a little scepticism from my son, we embarked on an assessment and after that the recommended twenty-four sessions. After four sessions he started to sleep better. Still had a lot of pain, but were sleeping without medication for the first time in more than a year.

From there on he improved steadily although he was very tired after sessions. In between sessions we counselled him and helped him to work through the feelings of loss and the life-altering realisation that you almost died.

This impressed upon me the importance of having a tool like Neurofeedback to better help people with seemingly unresolvable (without medication) conditions that would lock them into treatment(s) for life.

I see Neurofeedback as a tool to empower people to obtain the skills to train their brain. Unless there is a really traumatic event, physical or otherwise, it is seldom necessary to retrain a brain once new neural pathways have been established and allowed to mature.
