"People don’t just want talking therapy or medication—they want choice. Alpha-Stim opens that opportunity."

Dr. David Smart
General Practitioner

"So when I first started using Alpha-Stim and committing to it, I noticed a week later,  that I could breathe again."

Caroline
LCSW

“I started using Alpha-Stim myself with really good effect, and once I was comfortable, I began introducing it to colleagues and patients.”

Dr. James Kustow
Psychiatrist, Medical Director at the Grove Practise - London

"It’s non-invasive. There’s no pill. You’re not putting anything in your system. It’s simply just something you know, clipped to your ears and it helps. It works."

Maddy
Student Athlete

“One client said, ‘My mind just won’t stop.’ We put the Alpha-Stim on and within about five minutes he said, ‘I did have a thought—but it’s gone. I just feel very present.’ For some people, it’s been really profound.”

How Alpha-Stim® works.

A gentle, clinically proven microcurrent helps rebalance your brain’s natural rhythms — bringing calm without medication.

Alpha-Stim® AID

Restoring Rhythm, Naturally.

What happens & why it matters.

Electrical entrainment: The microcurrent mirrors the frequency of a healthy brain, promoting balanced electrical activity.
Calms racing thoughts and the restlessness that fuels anxiety.
Neurochemical balance:  A healthy electrical brain facilitates more natural and appropriate production of chemical activity.
Lifts low mood, restores motivation, and helps stabilise depression.
Sleep-wake regulation: Hyper-arousal settles and brain rhythms normalise.
Quietens mind and body so insomnia gives way to deeper, more restorative sleep.
