Brain Mapping (qEEG)
Understand the patterns behind symptoms
Brain mapping, also known as qEEG, records electrical activity across the scalp to give a structured picture of how the brain is regulating attention, arousal, sleep, and recovery. It is a non-invasive assessment used to add clarity when symptoms overlap or have been difficult to explain.
At our clinic, qEEG findings are reviewed alongside your history, daily functioning, and treatment goals. The aim is not to reduce you to a chart, but to use objective information to guide a more personalised plan.
Useful when anxiety, low mood, concentration problems, or sleep issues overlap.
Creates a data-informed starting point for therapy, neurofeedback, or other targeted interventions.
Many patients tell us that seeing their results helps them understand their symptoms in a new way. It can be reassuring to move from guesswork toward a structured formulation that explains what may be driving day-to-day difficulties.
qEEG can highlight patterns linked with over-arousal, under-activation, attention control, stress recovery, and sleep-related dysregulation. It helps us identify where the brain may be working too hard or not efficiently enough.
-
Looks at regulation patterns rather than offering a standalone diagnosis.
-
Helps separate what is likely primary from what may be secondary to stress or fatigue.
Brain mapping is often useful for adults and young people who want a clearer explanation for ongoing symptoms, especially when previous treatment has only partly helped or when several issues are present at the same time.
-
Frequently requested for anxiety, ADHD-like symptoms, burnout, and brain fog.
-
Can support treatment planning when medication alone has not answered every question.
The appointment involves placing sensors on the scalp, recording resting brain activity, and reviewing your history in detail. The process is calm, non-invasive, and typically well tolerated.
-
No stimulation is delivered during the assessment.
-
You receive a clear explanation of the findings in plain language.
After the assessment, we use the results to shape the next stage of care. That may include neurofeedback, HRV training, rTMS referral planning, or a broader treatment roadmap focused on your goals.
-
Assessment findings are translated into practical treatment priorities.
-
The goal is a plan that feels specific, realistic, and measurable.
A strong assessment makes treatment more precise
When we understand the brain patterns underneath the symptoms, treatment decisions become more focused. That means less trial and error, better prioritisation, and a clearer sense of what progress should look like over time.
Helpful for building a personalised care plan rather than a generic one.
Often the best first step when you want more clarity before beginning treatment.
