Neurofeedback Therapy

Neurofeedback therapy at New Leaf is a non-invasive, evidence-informed brain training modality that teaches the brain to self-regulate its electrical activity more effectively. It is delivered by Santiago Brand, the clinic's brain specialist, and is always preceded by a qEEG Brain Mapping assessment, which provides the personalised protocol guiding each client's treatment plan.

During a neurofeedback session, EEG sensors placed on the scalp feed real-time brainwave data into specialist software. The client watches a visual display — often a video or interactive game — that responds to their brain activity: when the brain produces the desired wave patterns, the display rewards them with positive feedback (the video plays smoothly, the game progresses). When the brain drifts into dysregulated patterns, the feedback subtly signals…

Sleep disturbances are one of the primary applications of neurofeedback at New Leaf. Dysregulated slow-wave delta activity, excessive high-frequency beta during sleep onset, or disrupted theta transitions are common neurological patterns in people with insomnia and non-restorative sleep. Personalised neurofeedback protocols targeting these specific dysregulations can help normalise sleep architecture and reduce the time it takes to fall and stay asleep,…
