"I completed a 6 or so month course of neurofeedback therapy with Jonathan. As a clinician I found him utterly dependable, available to answer questions and respectful of my privacy. He was a good and patient teacher - able to install my software remotely and explain over zoom how to use the equipment.
I found the therapy easy and a pleasure to do, it involved watching films that expand and contract in time with brain waves picked up by electrodes that you wear. It did take a lot of time however. It seemed worth it at the time though, an investment in my self and recovery.
I had issues with childhood trauma which caused anxiety and emotional reactiveness feeling uncomfortable socially and ruminating over what others said. I had been quite stressed and anxious, and would often get very angry internally when asked to do certain tasks at work or be interrupted, and I could be very rigid and inflexible at times. The neurofeedback helped me recover from migraines I had suffered from intermittently since I was 19yo. It seemed to help me learn to relax, and be less reactive to stressors, and recover my equilibrium more quickly once they had passed.
It wasn't the sole answer to my psychological dilemma, however, and I was also engaged in couples therapy and other therapeutic lifestyle changes, including eventually getting a less stressful job, in a field I was more passionate about with Bosses I could more easily trust and respect.
However it was a helpful piece in the puzzle of my recovery. I'm thankful to Jonathan for work with me and commend him to you.”

Neurofeedback training allowed me to regain my psychological and emotional health after suffering PTSD in an effective and flexible manner. Jonathan was always empathic, listened to any concerns I had, was always willing to calmly work through any issues that arose and was always supportive of me on my journey. I highly recommend Jonathan’s neurofeedback training program.
Thanks so much again for your empathy, patience and understanding as I worked through what I needed to in order to regain my psychological and emotional wellbeing once again.
Thanks,

I was referred to Jonathan by a trusted counselor who refers many of her trauma clients. I am 34 and have struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life due to childhood trauma. After doing neurofeedback my depression and anxiety have decreased significantly and I was able to stop taking antidepressant meds, which Ive never been able to do. I am no longer subject to my feelings; they are at a healthy level and they no longer swallow me whole. I have a much stronger sense of self.
The support Jonathan offered was very tailored to what was happening in my life each week. This gave me a great sense of confidence because I could always be open about what was going on for me and this enabled Jonathan to find the right neurofeedback design. I was always comfortable with Jonathan, he's very honest, warm and understanding. The advice about mental health I received from him helped me understand myself which contributed to my healing.
Learning neurofeedback at home was easy as Jonathan provided excellent support over skype and phone. The convenience was amazing! It fit perfectly into my life and Jonathan was always available if I had questions however, I don’t think that ever happened, it was so easy! I could still do what I wanted when I wanted as the sessions can be done at any time during the day or night in the privacy of my own home- very relaxing!
I highly recommend Jonathan and home neurofeedback to EVERYONE. The support you will receive from Jonathan will be so warm, kind and very knowledgeable. The neurofeedback will give you a new lease on life.

When I first contacted Jonathan about neurofeedback there was a lot happening in my life that was causing me a lot of stress. This stressful period exacerbated by my ADHD lead to PTSD. Life felt hard and out of control.
It was important to me to do the neurofeedback at home as I needed the flexibility to do it around my own schedule. This also saved me travel time and gave me more autonomy in the process. Doing it at home meant that I could also engage in the neurofeedback several times a week which would mean that my gains happened more rapidly.
Setting up was tricky for me however Jonathan stayed with me throughout the whole process. He was very helpful and very patient. This was important to me to feel he was very much alongside me in the process. Once set up the process was easy and strangely enjoyable.
Jonathan and I had our weekly meetings where he continued to be encouraging and helpful. We looked for the gains and the difficulties in my life and he would adjust the program accordingly. I had complete confidence in him. Through time I could feel that major aspects of my life were improving and I was feeling much more in control. I am now in a great place where I feel calm and handle things well. In fact, I am very content and happy. I know I wouldn’t be at this place if I hadn’t had this experience with the neurofeedback guided by Jonathan. I am pleased I went down this route.

“As a Vietnam veteran I have taken different medication and tried every therapy for PTSD, yet still had headaches, flashbacks and bad sleep for twenty years. Neurofeedback with Jonathan took all that away and now I am off the drugs and feeling better than ever.”

"I came across JB after reading an article about neuroplasticity and the use of brain training techniques to help trauma victims. I had gone through a difficult time with anxiety and depression. Being a person who thinks too much, I found traditional cognitive behavioural therapies made things worse and the side effects of antidepressants were awful. Jonathan's techniques were helpful in calming and normalising my brain as well as reducing the discontinuation symptoms of the antidepressants when I stopped using them. Jonathan is highly compassionate and took the time to fine tune the treatment as positive changes began to take root. The training itself is simple, non invasive and best of all I got to catch up on some good movies. Thanks Jonathan!"

I experienced long term childhood trauma (emotional abuse) leading to high levels of cognitive dissonance and CPTSD. Over many years I have tried many ways to help heal the trauma but nothing seemed to work – I sense that no matter how good the treatment was if my brain was not able to take it in, it was only ever going to have minimal effect.
What Neurofeedback has done for me is to quieten my brain – not surprisingly it seems it was in survival mode most of the time fearful of allowing in new information. Neurofeedback demonstrated that high-beta was my predominant brain wave (survival mode brain wave). With daily trainings guided by Jonathan I was able to bring my high beta down to a level where I was able to allow new ideas in and the other trauma specific therapies I am working with seem to be working on a much deeper level. I am also a lot less stressed in general – I seem to be able to deal with stressful situations much more easily.
Doing the trainings at home was not only convenient it was very easy, I just followed what Jonathan instructed me to do, I did not need to know anything special to do the trainings – Jonathan carefully guided and supported me at every step at any time I need it together with scheduled weekly Skype meetings. The great benefit of doing training at home is you can do training every day and you also get to watch movies... I had the excuse to watch movies I might have otherwise have missed out on!

Hi Jonathan, I wanted to thank you for your assistance in helping neurofeedback (developmental trauma) benefit our teenage son. He lost his mother when he was 8, and ever since, he had found it hard to manage his anger and negative feelings. My husband and I as his step mum tried to help him for years, using every other method we could find, but this was bigger than him, not something that he could control, even though he wanted to.
The trauma he experienced made his brain 'stuck' at feeling angry, that the world was against him and that there was something wrong with him. Any support or feedback was taken as harsh criticism, so it made it difficult for him to make changes in his behaviour to support himself. This conflict between what he wanted and what his brain was making him do was causing a negative spiral. It was affecting his learning and the daily stress levels in our family affected all of our lives.
We found that home neurofeedback training, especially amygdala training, helped him relax within himself and accept himself. It totally changed the colour of the feedback he was hearing to that of constructive, loving support. It helped him step outside of his all-consuming feelings to see the bigger picture, the positive in the world, to see things from others' point of view and see solutions to support himself.
Within a couple of weeks of targeted training, he became empowered to take responsibility for himself, embrace his life, and change what he wanted to change. His satisfaction in life and his relationships with his family and friends greatly improved. And it is so peaceful in the home now.
As parents, it is so important and rewarding for us to see that he has healed and is thriving! I would recommend neurofeedback for anyone with any form of PTSD and/or developmental trauma.
Sincerely,
