What is Neurofeedback
The nctNeurofeedback Clinic offers a brainwave training method designed to support a range of self-development and clinical goals.
The clinic specialises in working with children and adults experiencing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, ODD, anxiety, PTSD, sleep difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and related concerns.

How HEG Neurofeedback Boosts Focus with Oxygen Training | Rachel Langford, Neuroscientist
Retraining the Brain: How Feedback Helps Improve Performance Neuroscientist Rachel Langford Explains
The concept of Neurofeedback Brain Training explained by the neuroscientist Rachel Langford
Neurofeedback (NF), also known as electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback, is a form of brain training that aims to retrain unbalanced brainwave patterns associated with various conditions and targets - cognitive challenges, emotional regulation, anxiety and mood, and peak performance.
By providing real-time feedback about brainwave activity, neurofeedback allows individuals to gain control over their own neurological processes (Hammond, 2007).
NF operates on the principle of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganise itself in response to new experiences or learning. The technique uses EEG to measure brainwave activity, capturing real-time data about electrical patterns in the brain.
The nctNeurofeedback Clinic uses EEG neurofeedback and HEG neurofeedback, each targeting different aspects of brain function. These are complementary components that may be combined as part of a personalised training programme.
Training sessions are actively guided by a clinician and trainer throughout the full session. Sensors continuously read brain activity and provide real-time data, which the trainer uses to adjust parameters and targets as the session progresses. Training is shaped moment by moment through clinical judgement, ongoing observation, and the brain’s responses during the session.
This clinician-guided approach ensures that EEG neurofeedback and HEG neurofeedback are applied in a coordinated and responsive way, with training decisions informed by both assessment findings and how regulation is developing over time.

The Yael Langford Method
The Yael Langford Method is the proprietary approach that underpins all work at the nctNeurofeedback Clinic. It reflects a carefully developed way of working with neurofeedback and brain training that brings structure, consistency, and clinical judgement into every stage of care. Rather than focusing on individual techniques in isolation, this approach integrates different forms of brain training within a single, coherent framework. Training is planned, sequenced, and adjusted over time, with close attention to how each client responds and how changes translate into everyday functioning. A defining feature of the Yael Langford Method is the way clients are guided through the training process. The focus is not only on what is trained, but on how progress is supported, interpreted, and adapted over time. Clinicians work closely with clients and families to make sense of patterns, changes, and practical outcomes as they develop. While widely applied in attentional and regulatory difficulties, this approach was developed to support a broad range of presentations across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Its strength lies in the integration of brain training with clinical insight and careful guidance throughout the process. At the nctNeurofeedback Clinic, the Yael Langford Method shapes how assessment, training, and ongoing review are carried out, ensuring a consistent and carefully guided experience from start to finish.
How Neurofeedback Training Is Guided
Neurofeedback training at the nctNeurofeedback Clinic is an active, clinician-guided process. Sessions are led by a trained practitioner who works continuously with the client’s real-time brain signals, adjusting parameters and targets as the session progresses. During training, sensors read brain activity and provide immediate feedback. This feedback allows the brain to gradually shift toward more stable and efficient patterns of regulation. The process is physiological rather than conscious. Clients are not required to apply strategies or “try” to focus. Instead, the brain learns through repeated exposure to feedback that reflects more regulated states. Training is adjusted throughout the programme. Changes are informed by ongoing observation, session data, and how regulation is showing up in daily life. As the brain becomes more stable, training is refined to support attention, emotional steadiness, and cognitive control in a way that remains appropriate to the individual. Over time, these changes translate into improved consistency of focus, greater emotional regulation, and increased capacity to manage cognitive and everyday demands. The emphasis is not on momentary performance during sessions, but on building regulation that carries into real-world functioning.
