The full clinical programme.

In-person qEEG, swLORETA-guided neurofeedback, integrated biofeedback in every session for autonomic regulation, and a 12-week follow-up comparison — all under a clinician-led plan personally designed by Dr Ash.

2 qEEGs

Initial baseline at Week 1, re-examination at Week 11 — side-by-side comparison so you can see what changed.

~9 neurofeedback sessions

Weekly from Week 2 through Week 10. swLORETA-guided protocols, personally designed by Dr Ash from your initial qEEG.

Biofeedback in every session

Real-time HRV biofeedback runs alongside the neurofeedback — the autonomic ground that makes the cortical training actually land.

Clinician-led, by Dr Ash

Every plan is designed and reviewed by Dr Ash himself. Not algorithmic — your protocol comes from his reading of your data.

Biofeedback — the layer underneath neurofeedback

Why every Tier 3 session includes real-time autonomic feedback.

Neurofeedback works by giving the brain feedback about its own electrical activity, so it can shift toward better-regulated patterns. But that learning only takes hold if the body underneath is regulated enough to let the cortex actually encode the change. A nervous system stuck in sympathetic dominance is too aroused to learn deeply — whatever lesson the neurofeedback delivers gets washed out.

That’s why we run biofeedback in every Tier 3 session:

  • Pre-session priming. 5–10 minutes of HRV biofeedback at resonant frequency (~6 breaths/min) before the neurofeedback begins — the cortex starts the session already in a learning-receptive state.
  • In-session integration. Both data streams visible to the clinician throughout. When autonomic arousal spikes mid-session, the protocol adapts in real time. This isn’t standard practice in most neurofeedback clinics.
  • Cross-loop reinforcement. The cortical structures HRV biofeedback engages — anterior cingulate (BA24/32), insula, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, brainstem nuclei (NTS, NAmb) — overlap heavily with structures targeted in neurofeedback for mood, focus, and attention. Strengthening those loops via the body amplifies the cortical training.
  • State regulation you can take home. Once your nervous system has learned the resonant pattern, it’s available to you outside the clinic — before a difficult meeting, in the wind-down before sleep, between rounds of high-stakes performance, in the recovery window after a difficult day.

An honest framing

12 weeks is a starting point — not a destination.

The brain doesn't reorganise to a calendar. Twelve weeks of careful, measurement-led neurofeedback is real work — often enough to set a different trajectory, not always enough to fully settle it.

At Week 12 we sit with the data and evaluate together. Three honest possibilities:

  • The work is done. The before/after comparison is clear, your daily life reflects the change, and the brain has the trajectory to continue improving without ongoing sessions. Most patients in this position need only occasional check-ins (every 6–12 months).
  • Continued sessions will add value. The trajectory is positive but consolidation needs more time. We continue weekly swLORETA neurofeedback sessions at $175 per session for as long as the work is making measurable progress, with re-imaging every 8–10 weeks.
  • The 12 weeks didn't move what we hoped. Honest about this too. We discuss what we've learned, refer to other clinicians where indicated, and don't continue care that isn't moving the needle.

No auto-renewal, no pressure to continue. The data tells us what's worth doing next.

What's included

Beyond the appointments.

  • In-person quantitative EEG (qEEG) at the clinic — initial baseline (Week 1) and 12-week follow-up (Week 12), processed through NeuroGuide against an age-matched normative database.
  • Personalised swLORETA neurofeedback — protocols designed off your initial qEEG findings, targeting the specific cortical regions identified. Reviewed and refined by Dr Ash as the programme progresses.
  • Side-by-side before / after comparison report — your Week 1 brain map next to your Week 12 brain map, with clinical interpretation and clear next-step recommendation.
  • Clinician-led plan, personally designed by Dr Ash — not algorithmic. Your programme is built from his reading of your own data.
  • HRV biofeedback in every session — the autonomic ground that lets neurofeedback actually land. Real-time feedback that controls and enhances the autonomic nervous system, regulating state for performance, recovery, and emotional regulation. Not optional. Read more →
  • Functional neurological exercises calibrated to your assessment — woven in where the picture indicates.
  • Neuro-nutrition and supplementation guidance — alongside, not replacing, GP/dietitian care.
  • Progress workbook / journal. Daily and weekly tracking aligned with the programme.
  • Everything in Tier 2 — at home. Your Polar H10 sensor and the NeuroZen HRV biofeedback app for daily home biofeedback, the Daily Diary engine, and weekly AI feedback — all feeding your dashboard, so we walk into every session with last week's data already on screen, and your home coherence sits beside your cortical data in the final report.

Optional add-on: Targeted NeuroSupplement Bundle — clinically dosed supplements curated to match your brain map and goals. Cost varies by protocol; quoted at the Week 2 review.

Access & funding

Practical notes.

  • No referral required. You're welcome to book directly. We work alongside your treating clinicians where it helps.
  • Health fund extras (chiropractic): some funds cover chiropractic-coded sessions — check with your fund using item codes we provide.
  • Medicare Care Plans (Chronic Disease Management): applicable for some patients depending on your GP's care plan structure.
  • NDIS (self-managed): claimable through self-managed plans where brain health is part of your goals.
  • Payment plans available — call reception to discuss splitting the programme cost across the 12 weeks.

Scope & safety

We work alongside — not in place of — primary medical and psychological care. We do not diagnose neurological or psychiatric conditions from EEG, and we do not prescribe or alter medication. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 000 or Lifeline 13 11 14.

The same methodology, every tier

Examination, not assumption.

14 brain networks. Quantitative measurement at the start, the middle, and the end. Co-care with your GP and psychologist — we work alongside, not instead of.

Step 1

Examine

19-channel quantitative EEG, processed against age-matched norms via NeuroGuide. swLORETA source localisation maps activity to specific networks.

Step 2

Intervene

swLORETA-guided neurofeedback paired with HRV biofeedback at resonant frequency. Network-targeted protocols, not one-size-fits-all.

Step 3

Re-measure

qEEG comparison at mid-cycle and end of programme. If the data isn’t moving in the expected direction, we change the plan — not the calendar.

One methodology across every tier — from the free Snapshot through to the in-clinic 12-week programme.

Two ways to begin

Your brain... Your choice.

Examination, not assumption.

Take the free Brain Health Snapshot to orient yourself, or book a consultation with Dr Ash Connell. Both are easy to step away from, and either way you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s actually going on.

Or call (03) 5593 2934 — reception will take a few details and call you back within one business day.
