MEET the team

Anna Weglarek (BA Hons, MA Cognitive Linguistics) is a neurofeedback practitioner based in Southampton and the founder of Brainstead. She has twenty years’ experience teaching and working with children and young people, however it was raising a child with autism that ignited her initial interest in exploring different therapeutic approaches. Determined to understand and ease the neurodiverse experience, Anna read extensively in the area of psychology and different therapeutic modalities, as well as putting them into practice, before discovering the wealth of possibilities that neurofeedback holds – a complete eureka or “ah ha!” moment. This led her to undertake her neurofeedback training with BEEMedic in 2021 whilst continuing to work as a teacher and EAL Lead in a local primary school. 

Since then, she has been practising in Southampton, supporting both children and adults through personalised neurofeedback training. Her work is grounded in ongoing professional development, including advanced training in neurofeedback and trauma-informed practice through international conferences and specialist programmes. Alongside this, she holds a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills, which further informs her sensitive, client-centred approach.

Anna’s work brings together neuroscience, trauma awareness, and a deep understanding of individual differences, allowing her to support each client in a way that is both structured and highly personalised.

“I am passionate about how neurofeedback can support and improve life for all. Every day, I see adults, teens and children who struggle to develop and maintain relationships or have a variety of difficulties that disrupt their learning and their lives. Talking to parents, I know many are looking for a way to help. More and more people are finding themselves battling with undiagnosed or late diagnosed symptoms which affect their mental health. Through our sessions, I can help you reduce or eliminate many of the problems. Neurofeedback is for everyone — and it has the power to open doors to new possibilities in how we feel, learn, and connect.”
