Profile

Melanie practiced as Consultant Anaesthetist in the NHS for 36 years until retirement in September 2024. Over the last 12 years she has divided her time between her Medical practice and the Neurofeedback practice, The Braincollective which is based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Melanie is now fully committed to her 2 nd career and her passion for Neurofeedback. Melanie’s foray into neurotherapy was rooted in a frustration with main-stream medicine’s sole dependence on drug therapy for her own son who was struggling with developmental difficulties and epilepsy. Neurofeedback has had a major impact on improving all aspects of his health and wellbeing. Melanie has extensive experience and training in QEEG and a wide range of Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation techniques. Melanie originally trained in the Othmer ILF method with Sue and Siegfried Othmer and Roxana Sasu at EEG Info in Los Angeles, California in 2017 and is Othmer Certified with Bee Medic Europe. Melanie is committed to staying at the forefront of this rapidly evolving and developing field and embarked on her teaching journey with Bee Medic Europe in 2025. She is passionate about raising the understanding and acceptance of the power and potential of Neurofeedback in the UK and to contribute to ensuring robust training of practitioners to deliver safe and effective care.
