tDCS Treatment

A New Approach to Treating Depression with tDCS

At Phoenix Mental Health Services, we are committed to offering innovative, evidence-based treatments for depression. One of the most promising advancements in mental health care is Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy that can help improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.

What is tDCS and How Does the Flow Headset Work?

tDCS is a gentle, painless brain stimulation technique that uses low electrical currents to activate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. The Flow headset is the first device of its kind to bring this technology into the comfort of your home, making treatment accessible, convenient, and easy to integrate into daily life.

Each 30-minute session is guided by the Flow App, which also provides behavioural therapy support, helping you develop healthy habits in sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness – all crucial elements in managing depression.

Is It Effective? The Evidence Says Yes.

Research has shown that tDCS is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for depression. Flow has been rigorously tested in clinical trials and real-world use:

88% of patients saw significant improvement in symptoms within 6 weeks in a UK clinical study
74% were still in remission 6 months later
Flow has outperformed both antidepressants and talk therapy in open-label and real-world comparisons
91% of users had already tried other treatments before Flow—and still saw results

Flow is CE-marked in the UK and Europe, has received FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and is already in use in NHS settings.

Getting Started with tDCS Treatment

Step 1: Purchase Your Flow Headset

To begin tDCS treatment, you’ll need to purchase the Flow headset, which is available for £399. Flexible payment plans are available to make the cost more manageable.

Step 2: Choose a Support Package

While you can use the Flow headset on your own, many patients benefit from additional expert guidance. That’s why we offer the Flow tDCS Clinic Support Program, designed to help you get the most out of your treatment.

Option 1
Upfront Payment & Initial Psychiatric Assessment (£550 total)

Ideal for new patients who want a comprehensive psychiatric assessment before starting Flow. This includes:

✔ A general psychiatric assessment before beginning treatment

✔ A full year of access to our Flow tDCS Support Program, which includes:

  • A session to address any device-related questions

  • Regular weekly check-ins with our therapy team

  • Direct email access for ongoing support

  • Follow-up psychiatric consultations (if required) are available for £270 per session.

Option 2
Monthly Payment Plan (£60 per month)

Ideal for those who want to start Flow first and spread the cost over 12 months. This includes:

✔ Full access to our Flow tDCS Clinic Support Program

✔ A psychiatric assessment after 6 months

✔ A follow-up consultation after 12 months

  • £60 per month for 12 months

At the end of the 12-month period, you’ll have the option to renew for another year. The renewal package will include two psychiatric follow-ups instead of an initial assessment, and pricing will be adjusted in line with inflation.
