What is NESA?
NESA is a form of non-invasive neuromodulation that uses very low-intensity microcurrents delivered through contact points on the hands and feet.
These gentle electrical signals are designed to support regulation of the autonomic nervous system—the system involved in automatic functions such as rest, recovery, sleep and the body’s response to stress.
Sessions are comfortable, non-invasive and tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals. NESA is intended to support wellbeing and nervous-system regulation; it does not replace medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
Psychiatry and psychology
Protocols focused on autonomic regulation to support pain, sleep, microcirculation and recovery.
Other Areas of Support
NESA may also be used to support other needs relating to nervous-system regulation. Please contact us to discuss what you are experiencing and whether a NESA programme may be suitable for you.
Individual experiences vary, and no particular outcome can be guaranteed. NESA is a supportive wellbeing service and does not replace medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
Areas of Support
NESA neuromodulation may be used to support a range of wellbeing needs linked to nervous-system regulation. The focus and recommended number of sessions will depend on your individual circumstances, goals and suitability.

Persistent Pain and Physical Tension
A supportive approach for people experiencing ongoing discomfort, muscular tension or pain-related disruption to everyday life.
What to Expect
Your NESA programme will be shaped around your individual circumstances, the support you are seeking and how you respond over time. We will explain the process clearly and give you the opportunity to ask questions before beginning.
How Long Does It Take?
Appointments are booked for up to 60 minutes. This allows time for a brief check-in, the NESA programme and discussion of any agreed next steps.
Before beginning, we will provide relevant information about the service, consider suitability and ask for your informed consent. NESA is currently offered to adults aged 18 and over.

Review and Next Steps
We will review your experience and progress throughout the programme. The number and frequency of sessions varies depending on the reason for using NESA, your individual circumstances and how you respond.
Sessions and Pricing

£100
per 60-minute appointment
Each appointment includes a brief check-in, delivery of the appropriate NESA programme and time to discuss your experience and any agreed next steps.
Your Recommended Programme
NESA is commonly delivered over a course of sessions rather than as a single appointment. Following an initial discussion, we will explain the programme we believe is most suitable and provide an indication of the recommended number and frequency of sessions.
Your progress and experience will be reviewed throughout. Where appropriate, the programme may be adjusted as your needs develop.
Clear from the Beginning
You will be told the recommended approach and likely overall cost before agreeing to an ongoing course of sessions. There is no expectation that you commit to further appointments before we have discussed suitability and answered your questions.
