Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

What is TMS?

For many people, mental health difficulties such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive – compulsive disorder can persist despite traditional treatments. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) provides another option.

TMS is a non-invasive, evidence-based therapy that uses a magnetic field to safely deliver small electrical currents, stimulating the brain regions most involved in mood, behaviour, and cognitive function. Unlike medication, it does not act through the bloodstream, and unlike more invasive procedures, it does not require hospitalisation or recovery time. Sessions are delivered in a calm, outpatient setting and typically last 20 – 30 minutes, allowing you to continue with your normal activities immediately afterwards.

Who can benefit?

TMS is an established therapy for:

• Depression
• Anxiety disorders
• Obsessive – compulsive disorder (OCD)

It is also increasingly applied in:

• Post – traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Addictions
• Cognitive difficulties
• Other mental health concerns where additional treatment options may be beneficial

How does it work?

• During a session, you sit comfortably in a treatment chair.
• A specialised device is positioned against your scalp.
• The device generates a magnetic field that induces small electrical currents in targeted areas of the brain.
• These currents influence the activity of brain cells, helping to restore healthier patterns of functioning.

Each treatment takes about 20 – 30 minutes, and you can resume your daily activities straight afterwards.

Benefits of TMS

• Non – invasive and medication-free
• Few and mild side effects (such as temporary scalp discomfort)
• No downtime – you can return to work, study, or driving immediately
• Backed by extensive international research and clinical use
• Personalised protocols available at Omnia, guided by brain mapping (qEEG)

Our approach at Omnia Mental Health Clinic

At Omnia, we combine advanced neuroscience with professional mental health care. Every patient begins with a thorough initial consultation to ensure TMS is suitable for their needs. Where appropriate, we integrate EEG – guided protocols, tailoring treatment to each person’s brain activity for greater precision and effectiveness.

Our aim is to provide treatment in a safe, supportive, and professional environment where patients feel comfortable and informed at every step.
