Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive brain-training therapy that helps the brain learn to self-regulate—reducing many symptoms of ADHD over time.

Neurofeedback for ADHD
Training the brain to focus, regulate, and thrive
ADHD isn’t caused by laziness or “bad behaviour” — it often stems from brainwave patterns that shift too rapidly, making attention, self-control, and emotional regulation more difficult. Neurofeedback provides a direct way to help the brain learn more balanced, focused patterns.
How it Works
Neurofeedback uses safe EEG sensors to monitor how the brain communicates. During fun, interactive activities (like watching a movie, playing a game, or guiding a rocket ship on the screen), the brain receives gentle feedback when it’s functioning in a more regulated way.
Over time, the brain learns to:
Increase sustained attention
Reduce impulsive actions
Improve organization and working memory
Strengthen calm and emotional control
Support better sleep and stress management
It’s like teaching the brain to stay in its “focus zone” — building long-term skills that medication alone may not provide.
Why Neurofeedback Helps ADHD
Research shows that the brains of individuals with ADHD often produce:
Too many fast, scattered brainwaves (hyperactivity/anxiety)
Not enough focused, calm brainwaves (attention control)
Neurofeedback gently trains healthier rhythms, allowing children and teens to:
✨ Feel more in control of their bodies
✨ Concentrate longer in school and at home
✨ Navigate big emotions with confidence
✨ Experience fewer shutdowns and meltdowns
✨ Improve relationships and self-esteem
Supporting ADHD with Art, Play & Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy
Holistic, neuro-affirming care for attention, behaviour, and emotional growth
At Touch Brain Counselor, we understand that ADHD is more than attention challenges — it affects how a child thinks, feels, and interacts with the world. That’s why we combine multiple evidence-based therapies to help strengthen focus, self-regulation, and confidence.
Art Therapy
Art gives children and teens a safe way to express emotions that can be hard to put into words.
Through drawing, painting, and creative activities, we help them:
Build executive functioning (planning, sequencing, follow-through)
Practice patience and regulation through hands-on tasks
Develop emotional awareness and coping skills
Boost confidence and self-identity
Art becomes a calming outlet that supports focus and emotional balance.
Play Therapy
Play is a child’s natural language, especially for those with ADHD.
During play therapy, children learn new skills while having fun:
Turn-taking and flexible thinking
Impulse control and problem-solving
Social awareness and communication
Anxiety reduction through imaginative exploration
Activities like role-play, games, and sensory play build the foundations for better behaviour and peer relationships.
CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy)
CBT helps individuals with ADHD understand how thoughts influence actions.
We focus on:
Challenging negative beliefs (“I can’t do anything right”)
Reframing mistakes as learning opportunities
Developing routines, organization skills, and self-monitoring
Techniques for managing frustration and emotional overwhelm
These strategies help enhance both academic performance and daily functioning.
Benefits Of ADHD
Many clients experience improvements in:
✨ Reduced distractibility
✨ Better self-regulation
✨ Longer attention span
✨ Improved sleep and mood
✨ Academic and social success
Neurofeedback can be used alongside medication or as an alternative, depending on the individual’s treatment plan.
