With neurofeedback
realign the brain.
For more focus, inner peace and self-efficacy.
Neurofeedback is a scientifically sound Brain training.
As we don't normally feel our brain's activity, real-time feedback makes all the difference:
It enables you to, Your self-regulation targeted training.
Who is neurofeedback suitable for?
Neurofeedback can be used for various issues - partly as a Main method, partly as Supplementary procedure as part of an overall treatment plan.
Adults
Neurofeedback supports adults with psychological stress, such as ADHD, inner restlessness, anxiety, sleep problems, stress or depressive moods.
Also without psychological symptoms it can be helpful, e.g. in the area of coaching to promote speaking and presentation confidence, concentration or mental strength.
Children and young people from approx. 8 years
Neurofeedback has proved particularly effective for ADHD. It can be an effective and sustainable alternative or supplement to medication.
Neurofeedback is also a suitable method for concentration problems, inner restlessness or learning difficulties.
As it is not covered by health insurance, it is a private service.
Areas of application of neurofeedback (NFB)
ADHD
Neurofeedback is one of the methods recommended in the S3 ADHD guideline. It can supplement medication or help to reduce its dose.
Concentration & focus
Neurofeedback helps you to control your attention in a targeted way, to better block out distractions and to stay focussed on one thing for longer.
Anxiety
Whether test anxiety, fear of public speaking or performing, fear of flying or other specific fears - neurofeedback helps to regulate stress reactions and strengthen inner calm. In many cases, it is used in addition to counselling or behavioural therapy.
Sleep disorders
When the brain „can't rest“, neurofeedback can help to promote relaxation and restful sleep. It is usually used as a complementary method for sleep problems caused by trauma-related disorders.
Stress & burnout
Neurofeedback strengthens your ability to better regulate stress and allow recovery. It can be useful both as a preventative measure and as support during treatment.
Depressive moods
Neurofeedback can help to improve drive and concentration. It is not a stand-alone procedure, but part of an overall therapeutic concept.
Sensitivity to noise and inner restlessness
People with high levels of inner tension or trauma-related disorders often react particularly sensitively to noises. The brain remains on constant alert and finds it hard to relax. Neurofeedback helps to regulate these patterns, filter stimuli better and develop more inner calm.
Integration with other methods
You are unique - and I don't see you as a „symptom“, but as a whole person with your own personal story. That's why I don't organise the neurofeedback training according to rigid instructions that apply to everyone in the same way, but instead respond to you individually.
In the first session, I take the time to get to know your situation and your needs thoroughly. This allows us to develop the right therapy strategy together.
It is often helpful and effective to combine neurofeedback with other therapeutic methods. I will discuss these with you transparently - and you decide whether it is right for you.
A brief overview in advance:
- Counselling therapy and solution-oriented short-term therapy
Neurofeedback supports the ability to self-regulate, while talking helps to categorise thoughts and feelings and develop new perspectives. - Behavioural therapy
If concrete behavioural changes are sought in everyday life, neurofeedback can also help to build up the necessary inner calm, concentration and stability. - Trauma therapy
In the case of more complex disorders, especially after traumatic experiences, careful clarification is important. Here I use neurofeedback selectively - in combination with proven methods such as EMDR or Hypnosis, that enable deeper processing and healing.
These methods complement the neurofeedback applications and form an integrative approach in which different methods are combined in a targeted manner - always tailored to your individual situation and needs.
Which device do I work with?
When parents bring their child to me or adults decide to use neurofeedback, trust in the method is particularly important.
That's why I only work with professional systems that are also used in clinics and research projects.
I use the devices from Insight Instruments - an Austrian company with many years of experience in the field of bio- and neurofeedback. The devices are manufactured in Germany, which is an important quality feature for me.
This enables me to offer you safe, scientifically sound and high-quality neurofeedback training that meets current standards.
For those interested:
Technical background
There are various neurofeedback methods and protocols - for example theta/beta, SMR, alpha/theta or SCP (slow cortical potentials). Studies show that these methods can be comparably effective when used correctly.
Insight Instruments develops systems that specialise in these proven protocols. The measurement is carried out using high-resolution EEG sensors that precisely record the electrical activity of the brain. The signals are processed in real time and reported back via animations or sounds.
German manufacturing guarantees the highest technical quality and reliability. This makes the devices suitable not only for therapeutic practice, but also for use in scientific studies - a decisive advantage compared to many simpler training systems.
Scientific background
Neurofeedback has been the subject of intensive research for many years. Its use in ADHD has been particularly well researched and has been included in the S3 ADHD guideline. There is also increasing scientific evidence of positive effects for anxiety disorders, sleep problems and stress.
