Attuned Neurofeedback Education And Protocol Suite
The Attuned Neurofeedback Learning Pathway
Attuned Neurofeedback provides a complete journey — from foundational neurofeedback education through to advanced clinical protocols and ongoing mentoring. Each component has been designed to support practitioners in developing safe, effective and attuned neurofeedback practice.

BCIA Certified Neurofeedback Didactic Training
Delivered by the Australian Neurofeedback Institute (ANFI)
Build a Strong Foundation in Clinical Neurofeedback
Whether you’re new to neurofeedback or looking to build a strong clinical foundation, the BCIA Certified Neurofeedback Didactic Training provides a comprehensive pathway into evidence-based neurofeedback practice.
Developed and delivered by ANFI, this BCIA-approved program combines self-paced online learning with a practical, face-to-face practicum, providing clinicians with the knowledge and foundational skills to begin integrating neurofeedback into clinical practice.
How the Training Works
The training has been designed to balance flexibility with hands-on learning through two complementary components:
- 20 hours of self-paced online learning, allowing you to progress through recorded lectures, readings and assessments at your own pace.
- A 16-hour face-to-face practicum, where you'll consolidate your learning through supervised, practical neurofeedback training.
Together, these components provide the 36 hours of BCIA-approved didactic education aligned with the BCIA Blueprint of Knowledge.
What You'll Learn
The curriculum provides a comprehensive introduction to both the theory and practical application of neurofeedback, including:
- Orientation to Neurofeedback
- Basic Neurophysiology and Neuroanatomy
- Instrumentation and Electronics
- Research Evidence for Neurofeedback
- Psychopharmacological Considerations
- Patient Assessment
- Developing Treatment Protocols
- Treatment Implementation
- Current Trends in Neurofeedback
- Ethical and Professional Conduct
The face-to-face practicum provides supervised, hands-on experience, allowing participants to apply and consolidate the knowledge and skills developed throughout the online training.
Who Is This Training For?
This training has been developed for clinicians who want to confidently integrate neurofeedback into their existing therapeutic practice.
Whether your goal is BCIA certification or simply building a strong foundation in neurofeedback, the program provides a structured learning pathway that combines evidence-based theory with supervised practical experience.
Why Train with ANFI?
Since 2003, ANFI has been at the forefront of neurofeedback education and clinical practice in Australia. Drawing on extensive experience in trauma-informed care, the program combines established clinical knowledge with current neuroscientific evidence and advances in neuromodulation technology.
The result is practical, evidence-informed training that equips clinicians with the confidence to begin integrating neurofeedback into everyday clinical practice.
Attuned (Divergence) Protocol Suite
Developed by Attuned Neurofeedback and Psychotherapy of NJ in collaboration with Divergence Neuro
Clinically Grounded Protocols for Neurofeedback Practice
The Attuned Protocol Suite brings more than 40 years of combined clinical experience into a structured collection of neurofeedback protocols, developed to support thoughtful and responsive clinical practice.
Created by Attuned Neurofeedback and Psychotherapy of NJ in collaboration with Divergence Neuro, the suite is integrated directly into the Divergence platform, giving clinicians access to practical, evidence-informed protocol guidance within the software they use for treatment.
A Practical Clinical Framework
The Protocol Suite is organised around functional patterns commonly seen in clinical practice, helping clinicians move from assessment to intervention with greater clarity.
The suite includes protocols that support work with:
- Nervous system dysregulation, including over- and under-arousal
- Trauma-related and attachment-based patterns
- Somatic symptoms and autonomic imbalance
- Attention, cognition and executive functioning challenges
Each protocol includes clearly defined starting placements and frequency ranges, informed by neuroanatomical targets such as the motor strip, temporal lobes and midline networks.
Structure Without Rigidity
The Attuned Protocol Suite is designed to offer guidance without removing clinical flexibility.
Rather than prescribing fixed treatment pathways, the suite provides structured starting points that can be adapted in response to each client’s presentation, nervous system response and treatment goals.
This supports clinicians in applying neurofeedback with both technical precision and an attuned therapeutic presence.
Built by Clinicians. Refined Through Practice.
The Attuned Protocol Suite has been shaped by the clinical vision of Clair L. Goldberg, PsyD, BCN, and Leanne Hershkowitz, LPC, QEEG-D, BCN, drawing on decades of experience in trauma-informed neurofeedback, clinical integration and practitioner education.
As part of the Attuned Neurofeedback Learning Pathway, the Protocol Suite complements foundational neurofeedback education and ongoing mentoring, supporting clinicians as they continue to build confidence, refine their skills and deepen their practice.
