Leading rTMS treatment in London
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive, effective treatment approved by NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. It's primarily used to treat depression but can used to treat OCD, anxiety, and trauma as well.
rTMS stimulates brain areas linked to mood regulation using changing magnetic fields. This treatment is ideal for those unresponsive to medication or therapy, or who cannot tolerate medication. It can also serve as an initial treatment option.
We are proud to be able to offer rTMS treatment for depression and OCD at Priory Wellbeing Centre Harley Street, which is one of the few places in the country where this state-of-the-art treatment can be accessed.

A summary of rTMS at Priory
About a session
During an rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is positioned on your head, either above the temple for depression or on the forehead for OCD treatment. This coil delivers electrical currents that stimulate brain areas involved in emotion and impulse control, enhancing electrical activity and improving neural connections. This stimulation has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of both depression and OCD.
Before beginning rTMS treatment at Priory, you'll undergo an initial consultation to review your diagnosis and medical history, and discuss all available treatment options. rTMS sessions are conducted by a specialist technician and typically last between 15 to 45 minutes on an outpatient basis. For OCD treatment, sessions may include provocations—controlled actions designed to trigger OCD symptoms and activate relevant brain areas, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment. These sessions are generally administered four to five times a week over a four-week period, ensuring a controlled and safe environment throughout your treatment.
