Customer stories: Kasia McCartney
Kasia McCartney is co-founder of Encephalon – Edinburgh's neurofeedback clinic for brain health and development. As a neurofeedback practitioner and PhD candidate in Integrative Medicine and Applied Psychophysiology, she specialises in developmental and neurological disorders, peak performance and neurorehabilitation. Her clinical and scientific focus is on integrating psychoneuroimmunology, epigenetics and brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to provide evidence-based, transformative interventions for children, adults and athletes.
Encephalon's vision and approach
Encephalon was founded with the goal of supporting not only individuals, but entire families and communities, offering highly personalised neurofeedback and BCI interventions. The team is based on integrity, evidence-based practice and person-centred care, and is committed to advancing neurotechnology while creating a supportive environment in which clients can achieve meaningful and lasting improvements in their neurological health and performance.
Kasia completed her ILF neurofeedback training in London in 2021 and has since made it a central part of her clinical practice. She explains that neurofeedback ‘enables us to support clients across the spectrum – from developmental and neurological challenges to those striving for peak performance.’
Transformative Results Through Neurofeedback
Some of the most impactful results at Encephalon have been with clients experiencing Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), Long Covid, and concussion rehabilitation. Guided by QEEG research on neuroinflammation, Kasia uses ILF Neurofeedback to target dysregulated brain networks and support recovery.
Clients report improved memory, attention, and processing speed, along with reduced brain fog and fatigue. Many see gains in coordination, balance, and fine motor skills, while chronic pain, headaches, and sleep disturbances decrease. Kasia notes that for FND patients, seizure frequency and severity are often dramatically reduced, and clients recovering from concussion or Long Covid regain resilience, stamina, and overall neurological stability. These changes translate into real-world benefits—children participate better in school and social activities, adults return to work or sport with confidence, and families experience renewed hope and stability.
Collaboration with BEE Medic
Kasia has been using BEE Medic systems since 2021 and credits them as a cornerstone of her success. She highlights that the team has provided exceptional guidance from the start, always available to answer questions and support the growth of her practice. Their expertise has been invaluable in integrating technologies for regulation and biofeedback, enabling highly personalised care for her clients. She adds that she is “deeply grateful for the quality of both the devices and the ongoing support - they have played a central role in the growth and success of my clinical work.” At Encephalon, neurofeedback is more than a therapy - it’s a bridge between cutting-edge science and compassionate care. By combining rigorous research with a deeply personal approach, Kasia and her team continue to help clients achieve neurological balance, resilience, and optimal performance.
