The number of sessions needed varies depending on your unique goals and how your brain responds to neurofeedback training. It’s similar to going to the gym for your brain—some people notice changes within just a few sessions, while others may benefit from more consistent training over several weeks or months. As a general guideline, 10 sessions often serve as a good checkpoint to evaluate progress and determine the best next steps. At Arbor LDN, we prioritize empowering you to recognize and understand the changes as they happen, ensuring your journey is tailored to your needs and goals.
This varies from person to person. For some, one or two sessions a week may be sufficient, while others may benefit from more frequent training, especially at the start. Using the gym analogy again: your brain, like your body, adapts at its own pace. Regular and consistent practice often yields the best results, but you have the power to decide the schedule that works for you.
Yes, NeurOptimal® neurofeedback is 100% safe and non-invasive. The system does not manipulate or force your brain to do anything—it simply provides feedback, allowing your central nervous system to regulate itself naturally. There are no known side effects, as it works with your body’s own processes, not against them. It’s as safe as listening to music or watching a movie.
The results are unique to you. The system engages directly with your central nervous system, helping it regulate itself in the way it needs, not necessarily the way you expect or desire. This is a deeply personal journey, and many clients report improvements in areas like mental clarity, emotional resilience, sleep, focus, and overall well-being. However, the outcomes are unpredictable—you tell your story as it unfolds. Let your story be heard.
Neurofeedback uses advanced technology to monitor your brain’s electrical activity in real-time and provide auditory feedback through music. This feedback gently nudges your central nervous system to self-regulate and optimize its functioning. NeurOptimal®’s non-linear approach is superior to traditional linear neurofeedback systems because it adapts moment-to-moment, making it uniquely effective for each individual.
Neurofeedback has the potential to address a wide range of challenges and enhance overall well-being. Clients have reported improvements in:
Anxiety and depression
Stress and sleep issues
Brain rehabilitation after chemotherapy
Cognitive and physical trauma recovery
Sporting performance
Impulsivity, addiction, and relationships
Autism and neurodivergent challenges
Tinnitus management
This is a portion of improvements reported as the potential is not limited exclusively to the list above because everyone’s brain is different, the benefits depend on your unique situation.
Yes, neurofeedback complements other forms of therapy or wellness practices. It works harmoniously with counseling, physical therapy, meditation, and other approaches to enhance your overall well-being. It’s also a great tool for athletes, professionals, and anyone looking to perform at their best.
During a neurofeedback session, you’ll sit comfortably in a relaxed environment while the system monitors your brain’s electrical activity using sensors gently placed on your scalp and ears. As you listen to soothing music, the system provides real-time feedback to your brain, encouraging it to self-regulate and optimize its function. The experience is calm, non-invasive, and designed to feel restorative, offering a moment of relaxation while supporting your brain’s natural ability to adapt and improve.
No special preparation is required, you can arrive as you are.
