Are you aware that the Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) offers a Master's in Counseling program specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling? This program equips students with the knowledge and skills to become well-rounded professionals in mental health, and now, it’s offering an exciting opportunity: an introduction to Clinical Neurofeedback Training in collaboration with New Mind Academy.
I’m delighted to see that these future counselors are eager to explore the pathway to becoming certified Clinical Neurofeedback Practitioners. Neurofeedback is gaining recognition as an innovative tool to help individuals manage various mental health concerns, such as anxiety, ADHD, and stress-related disorders. Through this program, students learn the basics of neurofeedback, from understanding brainwave patterns to how this technology can be ethically integrated into their counseling practice.
With the support of SBCIA, the first Neurofeedback Training Center in Asia, we aim to ensure that neurofeedback is used ethically and responsibly. Neurofeedback training can be a powerful adjunct in fields like neurocounseling, helping clients improve emotional regulation and cognitive functions. However, it’s crucial that practitioners have a solid foundation in mental health and are trained under proper supervision to utilize this technology effectively and ethically.
At New Mind Academy, we’re committed to providing high-quality training for health-related professionals who are interested in enhancing their practice with neurofeedback. With the right guidance and training, these students can integrate neurofeedback into their counseling sessions, offering clients a holistic approach to mental health care.
This collaboration between UPSI and New Mind Academy is a significant step toward broadening the scope of mental health services in Malaysia. By incorporating neurofeedback into mental health counseling, future practitioners can provide more comprehensive and individualized support to their clients.
We look forward to seeing more professionals trained in this innovative field, ready to make a difference in the lives of those seeking mental health care.
