What you can do from home

I do not recommend from a catalogue. The tests and programmes below are the ones I also use at the practice, as a starting point for a conversation: in five minutes they show me something that would otherwise take a whole session of questions. That is why they are here, by name, and not as a shopping list.

If this is the first time you are looking at them, start with a free test. Your State Radar is the best place to begin when you know something is wrong but cannot say what: it scans you on seven axes at once and shows which of them is pulling you down. If you already have a hunch, go straight to it - sleep, stress, boundaries in relationships, memory and attention. They all take a few minutes and give you the result on the spot.

A test is not a diagnosis, and I do not treat it as one. It gives you a word for something you felt without a name, and we bring that word to the first session and have somewhere to start. If the result frightens you, that is exactly the moment to call, not to take it again.

The paid reports answer something else. Brain Fingerprint starts from the qEEG recording made at the clinic and tells you how your brain actually works, not how you think it works - that is where the neurofeedback direction comes from. Intimacy Fingerprint is the one I ask for most often when working with couples: it puts the attachment pattern and the erotic style down on paper, which is exactly the ground two people argue over without knowing what about. Brain Resonance does the same for a parent and their child.

For parents there are two more, and I keep them clearly apart. Just a Phase? answers a single question in two minutes: is what you see in your child normal development for their age, or is it a signal. The Parents' Academy is not a test, it is a path - video courses by age, from birth until they leave home.

The rest are everyday tools. BrainTune are audio programmes calibrated on the qEEG assessments from the clinic, for sleep, focus or settling down. The Inner Clock tells you what time of day you are actually good for work - useful above all if you have been fighting your own schedule for years. And The Brain Compass is a short map of the way you feel, pay attention and respond.

None of them takes the place of a consultation, and none is meant to. I use them so that we both come prepared to the first conversation.
