Neurofeedback is a method for visualising and training brain activity with the aim of strengthening self-regulation. By receiving feedback on its own activity, the brain is given the opportunity to gradually develop more stable and functional patterns.

When the training works at its best, many people experience a deeply relaxed yet alert state, where the nervous system is able to slow down in a way that is not always easily accessible in everyday life. For some, this involves a clear physical relaxation; for others, a mental stillness or increased clarity. Often, it also becomes an opportunity to reconnect with parts of oneself that otherwise tend to remain in the background.

The method is based on neuroplasticity, that is, the brain’s ability to change and adapt through experience and training. Neurofeedback can therefore be understood as a form of targeted learning for the nervous system.

How neurofeedback is used here

At Sportfeedback, neurofeedback is used as support to:

• strengthen self-regulation
• promote recovery
• improve focus and mental clarity
• facilitate regulation of stress, anxiety, and sleep

Relationship and safety in training

The relationship between client and neurofeedback practitioner is central in my work. For the training to be meaningful, you need to feel safe, respected, and actively involved in the process.

Neurofeedback is not only about technology, but about how the training takes place within a human encounter where experiences, reactions, and adjustments are taken seriously. It is in this combination of technique and relationship that the conditions for real change are created.

Learning on several levels

Much of the learning in neurofeedback takes place on an unconscious level. The brain trains itself through feedback, without you having to actively “do” anything. At the same time, your experience of the training is important, and protocols and set-ups are continuously adjusted based on how you respond.

When we find the right parameters, training is often experienced as pleasant and sometimes deeply calming. How well one responds varies between individuals and is influenced, among other things, by the baseline state of the nervous system, life situation, and the goals we are working towards.

My relationship to the method

Neurofeedback is not only something I work with professionally, but also a method I have personal experience of. For me, it has been a tool for improved self-regulation, better presence, and a richer relationship to both work and everyday life.

At the same time, I approach the method with curiosity and a research-oriented mindset. Neurofeedback is not a universal solution, but when used appropriately, it can be a powerful support for certain individuals in certain contexts.

It is in this combination of personal experience, clinical application, and scientific reflection that my work with neurofeedback takes shape.

Who might neurofeedback be relevant for?

Neurofeedback may be relevant for you if you wish to:

• strengthen your capacity for self-regulation
• improve sleep or recovery
• reduce stress-related symptoms
• manage anxiety-related difficulties
• increase focus and mental endurance
• work with your mental health in a non-pharmacological way

I primarily work with well-functioning individuals who wish to develop their mental and neurophysiological balance, rather than with people in need of specialised psychiatric treatment.

What neurofeedback work can look like

Work with neurofeedback always begins with a conversation where we go through your situation, your goals, and whether the method is suitable for you.

Training takes place in individual sessions where sensors register brain activity and feedback is provided in real time through visual and auditory signals. Based on how you experience the training, the set-up is gradually adjusted.

Many clients today choose to book around 10 sessions as an initial format, particularly when working with ISF neurofeedback, where good results can often be achieved within that framework. For some, this is sufficient; for others, longer work may be relevant.

In general, the more dysregulated a nervous system is, the more sessions may be needed to create stable and sustainable change.

Integration with psychological work

Neurofeedback can advantageously be combined with psychological conversations, mindfulness, and other reflective practices. For some, neurofeedback is a stand-alone support; for others, it forms part of a broader psychological process.

My focus is not only on the technique itself, but on how the training is integrated into your everyday life, your self-understanding, and your way of relating to yourself.

Presence, not only function

For many, neurofeedback becomes not only a way to function better, but also an opportunity to experience a deeper contact with oneself. Clients who allow themselves to truly relax during training sometimes describe coming into contact with new aspects of themselves, both emotionally and mentally.

It is this combination of function, presence, and self-contact that makes neurofeedback meaningful for me to work with.

Scope and limitations

Neurofeedback at Sportfeedback does not replace psychiatric treatment and is not offered for severe mental illness. In cases where specialised care is needed, clients are referred to the healthcare system.

Neurofeedback at Sportfeedback is offered within a small, personal practice with a limited number of available slots.
