The ANFI team were honoured to welcome Dr John Arden — world-renowned psychologist, author, and researcher — to our offices last month.

It was a privilege to exchange ideas and discuss the latest advancements in neuroscience, trauma treatment, and neurofeedback. The day included an enjoyable team lunch and rich conversation that left everyone inspired!

Research and clinical experience increasingly suggest that autism may be under-recognised in girls and women.

While boys are often identified earlier due to more overt or externalised behaviours, girls may mask their challenges through social imitation, compliance, or perfectionism — often leading to delayed or missed diagnoses.

Many autistic girls experience significant internal distress that can be mistaken for anxiety, depression, or other conditions. Recognising these subtle presentations is vital for early identification and support.

At ANFI, we continue to highlight the importance of gender-sensitive assessment and training for clinicians — ensuring that every individual’s neurodevelopmental profile is understood and supported in context.

What a fantastic way to wrap up our final Neurofeedback in Clinical Practice Practicum for 2025!

We had an incredible group of clinicians join us from across Australia, New Zealand, and India for two full days of hands-on learning, discussion, and collaboration.

It was inspiring to see participants deepen their neurofeedback skills, exchange ideas, and connect with colleagues who share a commitment to trauma-informed, neuroscience-based care.

A huge thank you to our trainers and attendees for making this such a vibrant and memorable event!

Small, regular steps lead to lasting changes — progress builds session by session.

🧠 Neurofeedback & Brain Injury Recovery

Neurofeedback isn’t just for ADHD or mood disorders — research shows it also holds promise in supporting recovery after brain injuries.

Training can help improve:
✅ Attention, memory, and concentration
✅ Executive functioning and impulse control
✅ Symptoms such as headaches, migraines, and cognitive fatigue

By reinforcing healthier brain patterns, neurofeedback supports lasting changes that can enhance daily functioning and quality of life.

🏅 Neurofeedback isn’t just for mental health — it’s also proving valuable in sports.

A recent systematic review published in Brain Sciences looked at how neurofeedback training has been applied across disciplines such as golf, swimming, basketball, ice hockey, and even taekwondo. The findings? Improvements in performance, reaction time, attention, and emotional regulation — in athletes from beginners to professionals.

It’s exciting to see the growing evidence base for neurofeedback’s role in optimising both the mind and body.

We’re proud to share that ANFI’s EEG Analyst, Darius Rountree-Harrison, who is responsible for EEG/QEEG reports and consultations, will be presenting at the 2025 ANSA Conference in Sydney this November.

His presentation, “Comparison of EEGs from Traumatised Refugees to Age and Gender-Matched Normative Data and Machine Learning Symptom Associations,” explores EEG biomarkers for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Through his analyses, Darius highlights distinct biomarkers observed across conditions and gender, as well as emerging insights into the diversity of PTSD presentations and their treatment implications.

This important work deepens understanding of the neurophysiological patterns associated with trauma and supports more informed, data-driven approaches to neurofeedback and clinical care.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 6 months since the Attuned Neurofeedback Summit 2025. Our team has been reminiscing on what an extraordinary gathering it was — a community of minds and hearts coming together in the spirit of learning, reflection, and healing.

For many attendees, the Summit wasn’t just about education — it was about feeling seen, questioning old paradigms, and opening up new possibilities for growth.

We remain deeply grateful to the clinicians, researchers, and practitioners who joined us — as speakers and participants — to co-create such a transformative space.

💬 “It gave me a renewed sense of direction and reminded me why I do this work.”
💬 “I finally feel like there’s a community asking the same deep questions I’ve been sitting with.”
💬 “It was more than training — it was profound.”

As we reflect on the voices and insights shared, we invite you to revisit the experience — or explore it for the first time — through the Summit Replay.

🧠 Myth vs Fact 🧠
Some people think neurofeedback is a quick fix — but in reality, it’s about building new patterns over time.
Like strengthening a muscle, the brain learns best with repetition, consistency, and support. That’s what makes neurofeedback such a powerful tool for creating lasting change.

We’re delighted to welcome Melissa Beit to the ANFI team as part of our Neurofeedback program.

Melissa is a psychologist with First Class Honours from Griffith University and brings a wealth of experience from her work with refugee communities in Coffs Harbour and across rural NSW. Before joining the Neurofeedback team, she worked with STARTTS in direct client services, providing counselling and trauma-informed care.

Her practice integrates a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities, including EMDR (in training), Deep Brain Reorienting, SSP, Narrative Therapy, NET, ACT, and DBT. She has a special interest in the therapeutic role of nature connection, shaped by her background as an outdoor educator and bush school facilitator.

At ANFI, Melissa is excited to offer neurofeedback and neuromodulation to clients living with chronic trauma, supporting them to build resilience and lead more connected, autonomous lives.

🌍 10 October marks both World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day — a reminder that wellbeing is deeply connected to social circumstances.

At ANFI, we focus on training clinicians in neurofeedback and trauma-informed approaches, supporting the integration of neuroscience into mental health practice. This equips practitioners to better serve those facing complex challenges, including displacement, trauma, and unstable living situations.

Every step towards accessible, innovative care matters.

Welcome, friends of Sebern ❤️

As many of you may have heard, our beloved Sebern Fisher has recently experienced some health challenges. Following two minor strokes, she is now in rehab and doing well — still very much our Sebern — with her humour, strength, and spirit shining through, just as we’d expect. She’s mainly experiencing fatigue, but her recovery is steady and full of hope.

Many of you from around the world have reached out with love, concern, and deep gratitude for all that Sebern has given — her wisdom, her compassion, and the way she has guided and inspired so many of us in our own work of helping others heal. Her influence continues to ripple across the world, connecting people and communities dedicated to healing and hope.

To help everyone stay connected, Clair Goldberg PsyD, BCN has created a free community space for all of us — her friends, students, colleagues, and community — to come together. Here, she’ll share updates on her recovery, and we can offer messages, stories, and reflections, and stay connected with one another.

Sebern has always believed in the healing power of connection, and this page is one small way to honour that truth. Let’s gather here, hold her close in our hearts, and keep the circle of love and support strong.
