What is TMS?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses focused magnetic pulses to restore activity in the brain circuit that regulates mood. You are awake throughout, nothing pierces the skin, and there is no anaesthesia and no recovery time, so most people drive themselves home.

Left DLPFC: where treatment happens
The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex helps regulate mood and is consistently underactive in depression. Standard TMS delivers high-frequency pulses here, restoring activity in the circuit it anchors. Millimetres matter, which is why your target is mapped, not estimated.
A soft approximation of the 10-per-second click train. The real thing is louder, closer to a woodpecker, and hearing protection is provided.

Wondering if TMS is a fit for You?
The first step is a conversation. You do not need a referral to ask a question, and an enquiry creates no obligation.
