Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA/NICE/Health Canada/TGA-cleared treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive regions of the brain linked to depression and other mental health conditions. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS requires no anaesthesia, no surgery, and causes no memory impairment.
In London, Greater London, there are 5 verified TMS clinics offering this treatment. A full course typically consists of 20–40 sessions, delivered 5 days a week over 6–8 weeks. Each session lasts approximately 20–40 minutes, and patients typically resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Offers both standard and accelerated Theta Burst protocols. TBS can reduce session time to 3–6 minutes with comparable efficacy to standard 37.5-minute sessions.
