Optimizing Brain Performance through Different Brain-Based Approaches

Through which the brain is taught to be calm, regulated, and resilient

About Annemie Peché

Annemie started her practice in Vereeniging in 1982 as a Clinical Psychologist

In 1993, she qualified as an EEG technician and started performing routine EEGs

In 2000, she added sleep studies to her practice, performing polysomnograms and CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) assessments.

She did her first training in Neurofeedback NF in 2003 and visited the USA (BrainMaster) for further training in 2005 and 2012

Quantitative EEGs were added to the practice in 2005.

Since 2008, the focus of the practice has been on medico-legal assessments after brain damage sustained in motor vehicle accidents.

Brain-based therapies, such as BWRT (or Brain Working Recursive Therapy), BSP, Brainspotting, or pointer work, for trauma and complex trauma were incorporated.

For further professional development, continued learning in neurofeedback (NF), q EEGs, and brain-based therapies based on the Polyvagal Approach by Dr. Stephen Porges is continued.

CHALLENGING DIFFICULTIES TREATED AT THIS PRACTICE

  • Alleviating the effects of trauma and complex trauma starting in early childhood

  • Managing anxiety symptoms & panic
  • Stress management strategies are known to stabilize blood pressure
  • And enhance stability in sugar levels (refer to Stimpod Vagal Nerve Stimulation)
  • Headache and migraine 
  • Depression
  • Improving the quality of attention and memory 
  • Optimise learning in combination with learning strategies.
  • Neurofeedback protocols are individualized by performing quantitative EEGs and clinical Q EEGs to direct the NF treatment
  • Manage challenges faced by Autism, and autism spectrum difficulties, as well as neurodiversity
  • TBI – encouraging brain plasticity 
  • Addictive behaviour - incorporating Biofeedback and brain behaviour approaches such as BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy), BPS (Brain Spotting or Pointer Work)
  • Management of grief
  • Weight management
  • Addiction
  • Focus on individual Survival Styles influencing relational patterns and the archetypes that are typical of certain behaviour patterns that affect our interactional patterns and communication.

When Medical practitioners consult with patients in their practices and encounter difficulties that don’t align with an obvious DSM diagnosis, further investigations of brain functioning may shed more light, which can be performed at this practice.

WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER

Our Services

Clinical Psychological Treatment

The purpose of brain-based approaches is to enhance self-regulation of the nervous system

The Quantitative EEG

is used to assess brain functioning in terms of the frequencies the brain produces, affecting behaviour, emotions, and cognition.

Clinical Q EEG

This is a shorter and more affordable version of the quantitative EEG, which includes 5 placements only

Neurofeedback (NF)

Neurofeedback therapy, also called neurotherapy or EEG biofeedback, is a method through which the brain is exercised.

Stimpod Pain Training & Vagal Nerve Stimulation

Pulsed Radio Frequency (PRF) pain treatment has proven to be successful in treating various pain conditions.
