Your TMS journey & what to expect

Safety Screening & Online Questionnaires

Before committing to any treatment, we begin with a screening process via our secure and easy-to-use online portal. You’ll be asked to complete a series of questionnaires designed to give our clinicians a clearer understanding of your needs. This is completely free of charge and helps us determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for TMS treatment.

Clinical Review & Discussion

Next, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your results with one of our experienced clinicians in an online video consultation, from the comfort of your home. This is a great chance to ask questions and gain insights from clinicians who have supported many others through TMS treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your First TMS session & Introduction (90 minutes)

Your first session is scheduled for 90 minutes (an hour longer than standard sessions). This additional time allows us to take precise measurements of your head so the practitioner can identify the ideal placement for the TMS coil.

You’ll be seated comfortably in a reclining chair and fitted with a soft fabric cap, similar to a swim cap. The practitioner will mark the coil placement spot on the cap, which will serve as a reference for future sessions.

We’ll then deliver a few test stimulation pulses to determine your motor threshold—the optimal stimulation intensity suited to you. Once the practitioner determines this, your first full TMS session can begin.

The treatment lasts approximately 20 minutes, during which you may feel a tapping sensation from the coil, most patients quickly get used to this. You’re welcome to chat with your practitioner, read, or listen to music during the session.

The extended time in this first session also gives you the opportunity to ask practical questions, and the practitioner will be happy to explain how the TMS equipment works to help you feel comfortable.

It is completely safe to drive yourself home after your session.

Ongoing TMS Sessions (30-45 minutes)

Subsequent sessions are typically 30 minutes long (OCD sessions are 45 minutes long) and scheduled once daily, up to around 20–30 sessions in total.

Depending on your schedule, you may be able to book 2 or even 3 sessions spaced throughout the day, to get through the full treatment schedule in a shorter period of time.

You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after each treatment. Once weekly, we’ll ask you to complete a short progress questionnaire so we can monitor your improvement.

Meet our clinicians

Once you’ve completed the recommended number of TMS sessions, we’ll schedule a final video consultation with your clinician.

This review gives you the chance to talk through your progress and decide whether additional sessions might be beneficial.

You’ll also receive guidance on how to maintain the positive effects of your treatment, and we’ll refer you back to your GP for ongoing care, if appropriate.

While many patients experience lasting benefits after their full course of TMS, some may need occasional top-up sessions to maintain their progress — and that’s completely normal.

Our team understands the importance of continued care. That’s why we offer tailored aftercare packages with planned maintenance treatments, designed to support your long-term wellbeing.
