BRAINTRAINUK SUSSEX
Leaders in Neurofeedback
Our training approach models that of leading medical schools, to support our unique multiple modality approach to Biofeedback and Applied Neuroscience and our multi-disciplinary culture. Our experience at the highest levels of private and public healthcare means we lead the field in integrating Neurofeedback with your overall healthcare experience.
Comprehensive & unique training
We use the medical school model to ensure that our practitioners are the right people with the right skills.There is a good reason why medical doctors don’t go directly from the classroom to their own clinic.
Technical classroom training on the technology is an essential part of the process and consists of courses in both the UK and abroad, using external and in-house training. Training to use neurofeedback hardware and software is essential but for our best-in-class practitioners this is a small part of their skillset.
Even more important are clinical methodology and practical training and the essential skills that make an effective and trustworthy clinician, through shadowing, case studies, operational and client relationship training, and ongoing support from the UK’s leading practice.
Direct support
At BrainTrainUK, not only do we have our own internal support from the UK’s most experienced and only multi-disciplinary Neurofeedback practice, we also have direct support from the world’s leaders in the field. From clinical, scientific, engineering and research disciplines. Our support network includes Susan Othmer, described by the Biofeedback Federation of Europe as ‘the world’s most respected clinician’, Dr. Siegfried Othmer, Dr. Bernhard Wandernoth and Dr. David A Kaiser.
Collaboration
We view Neurofeedback as an important part of medicine that the medical community are still learning about. We complement and augment conventional medicine, spend a lot of time collaborating with the existing healthcare system, we are members of the Royal Society of Medicine and we have strong relationships with world-leading Researchers, General Practitioners and Specialist Consultants.
BRAINTRAINUK PRACTITIONERS
Anna’s support team
We are uncompromising in our selection of potential practitioners and have strict entry criteria. A Masters degree in a related subject is a prerequisite, unless you have many years of highly-relevant clinical experience (e.g. Nurse Practitioner). To work at BrainTrainUK practitioners must demonstrate a proven ability to work within a client-practitioner relationship and be able to cope with the challenges presented to those relationships within the field of mental health.
