Methods of Work
The education is designed so that each theoretical component is accompanied by practical and experiential work. Participants will simultaneously take on the roles of both client and trainer during the training. Throughout the education, the instructors use numerous practical examples aimed at clarifying and enriching the material being taught. All materials and methods are based on the teachings of the world's leading authorities in the field of neurofeedback, as well as training recognized for obtaining an international certification in the application of neurofeedback methods.
Who Conducts the Education?
The education is conducted by psychologists and experts in the field of neurofeedback with several years of experience in applying the method. They have also delivered more than 15 training sessions and have conducted nearly 100 hours of supervision.
Neurofeedback supervision
Supervision is an essential step in the application of the neurofeedback method, and, like in other forms of therapeutic work, it is hard to imagine working with clients without supervision.
Supervisory hours are arranged according to the needs of the participants and can include work at the educator's center, supervision at the participant's workplace, or through online services (e.g., Skype). If supervision is taken after the participant has completed neurofeedback training, the number of supervision hours is determined based on the participant's needs, along with an assessment of their independence and readiness to work by the supervisor.
