Therapy & Assessment

Biofeedback & Neurofeedback

Biofeedback and neurofeedback can provide information about physiological processes and, where clinically appropriate, form part of a broader psychological treatment approach.

The relationship between mind and physiology

Psychological experience is closely connected with physiological processes. Stress and anxiety, for example, may be accompanied by changes in breathing, heart rate, muscle tension, arousal and other aspects of bodily functioning.

Biofeedback uses information about physiological activity to help a person become more aware of these processes and, in appropriate circumstances, learn greater self-regulation.

HeartMath and physiological regulation

I am an Accredited HeartMath Practitioner. HeartMath approaches can be used to help people develop awareness of physiological responses associated with stress and practise methods intended to support self-regulation.

EEG neurofeedback

EEG neurofeedback is a specialised form of biofeedback concerned with patterns of brain electrical activity. I am a BCIA Certified EEG Biofeedback Practitioner.

Biofeedback and neurofeedback are not appropriate for every person or every psychological difficulty. Where considered, they are viewed within the person's broader clinical assessment and treatment plan rather than as stand-alone solutions.

Suitability is considered individually. A consultation is the appropriate starting point for determining whether any form of biofeedback has a useful role within treatment.
