What We Treat
Care shaped around You
Three conditions, one measured approach. Every course begins with a clinical assessment and a motor threshold reading of your own, so the protocol is calibrated to you rather than to an average.
OCD
An emerging option for intrusive thoughts and compulsions, assessed case by case.

Anxious Depression
When persistent worry and low mood arrive together and feed each other.

Where the pulses actually Go
1
Focused, not general
Magnetic pulses reach the left prefrontal cortex, the part of the mood circuit that is underactive in depression, and nothing else.
2
Dosed to you
Your motor threshold is measured on day one and sets the intensity for every session that follows.
3
Awake and on your way
Around twenty minutes in a chair, no anaesthesia, and you drive yourself home afterwards.
Left prefrontal cortex: where treatment happens.

Safety & Side Effects
A well-tolerated treatment, Explained
No anaesthesia, no effect on memory and no systemic side effects. Your psychiatrist talks through what to expect before you begin.
What you feel
A steady tapping, sometimes a mild headache
Most noticeable in the first week, easing as you get used to it, and responsive to ordinary pain relief.
During a session
Awake, comfortable and in control
Hearing protection, a reclining chair, a clinician with you throughout, and the option to pause at any time.
Before you start
A proper conversation
Your psychiatrist reviews your history, explains what to expect and answers your questions before the first session.
Most people go straight back to their day after a session, and many fit one into a lunch break.

Measured outcomes, not Promises
Figures reflect pooled outcomes across published TMS trials for treatment-resistant depression. Individual response varies; a clinical assessment determines whether TMS is right for you.

Questions
Asked before Every first session
If yours isn't here, ask it at your consultation. Plain answers are part of the treatment.
All 6 questionsMost people describe it as a firm tapping on the scalp. It can feel unfamiliar in the first few sessions, and the sensation usually settles within the first week as you get used to it. No anaesthesia is needed, and you can ask for a pause at any time.
