1. Before treatment
Safety Screening
We know how difficult it can be to decide which treatment is best for you. To help you make your decision, we offer an online safety screening via our tailor-made patient portal, Mending Minds. This is completely free of charge.
Video Chat
Once you’re happy that TMS is the right treatment for you (and it is for most people!), you’ll have a video chat with one of our clinicians. We like to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible for this consultation and strongly believe that home is where you’ll be most comfortable. So, make yourself a cuppa and speak with one of our knowledgeable clinicians about your condition and how TMS treatment can help you.
2. Your treatment
Your first TMS session
Your first session will be an hour longer and you’ll have your measurements taken (if you didn’t visit before your consultation) and have the opportunity to ask your practitioner any further questions you have.
Your TMS treatment
Your TMS treatment You’re likely to start by having one session of TMS per day, but some patients are able to increase this to 2 or even 3 sessions spaced out throughout the day. Your practitioner will help you track your progress and we can arrange up to two additional reviews with your clinician should you need them. You’ll be able to go about your day as you would normally straight after treatment as it’s non-invasive and side effects are minimal and mild in severity.
3. Final review
Upon completion of your prescription, we will facilitate a follow-up consultation with your clinician. The majority of patients opt to enroll in one of our Continuous Care programs to maintain their well-being. Alternatively, some patients choose to return to the care of their General Practitioner without additional treatment, which is also a valid option.

Continuous care
Dr Neal and his team understand the need to help out patients stay well beyond the end of their TMS treatment. Using research and our own experience, we have designed aftercare packages to provide ongoing care with a planned programme of regular top-up treatments.
