TMS Pathway

Your TMS Wellness Journey

Step 1: Book a Free Consultation with a TMS Coordinator or Clinician (Optional)

Considering TMS treatment? It’s natural to have questions.
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our experienced Mind Wave TMS clinicians to help you understand the practical aspects of TMS treatment.

  • Optional but highly recommended
  • Easily book over the phone
  • Get expert guidance tailored to your needs

Step 2: Obtain a Referral from Your GP or Psychiatrist

To begin your TMS treatment, you’ll need a referral from your GP or psychiatrist.
You can download and complete our TMS Referral Form (PDF).

  • If your GP is unfamiliar with TMS, we provide helpful resources, including:
  • TMS GP Information Pack / Fact Sheet
  • TMS Referral Form
  • Latest Research Article on TMS

Step 3: Initial Consultation with Our Psychiatrist

Once we receive your referral, our TMS Coordinator will arrange an initial consultation with our psychiatrist or TMS Clinician (private session).

  • Your medical history and symptoms will be assessed.
  • In some cases, an MRI scan may be required if MRI-guided neuronavigation is necessary for treatment precision.

Step 4: Mapping Session / TMS Thresholding

Our TMS Psychiatrist and Nurses will conduct a mapping session to personalize your treatment.

  • Identify the precise coordinates of the target location (e.g., Prefrontal Cortex for depression).
  • Determine your Resting Motor Threshold (RMT)—the minimum magnetic field intensity needed to stimulate brain activity.
  • Tailor your TMS protocol to ensure optimal results.

Step 5: TMS Treatment Sessions

Once your TMS prescription is finalized, you can begin your treatment sessions.

  • Each session lasts 20–40 minutes, depending on your protocol.
  • Treatment is typically conducted 3 to 5 times per week over 7–8 weeks.
  • During treatment, you can relax, chat with our TMS nurses, or watch Netflix.

Our experienced TMS clinicians closely monitor your progress through validated clinical rating scales and daily evaluations to ensure the best possible outcome.

Step 6: Progress Review & Treatment Adjustments

TMS results vary from person to person, and improvements typically occur between 15 and 35 sessions.

  • Progress reviews are conducted at sessions10, 20 (optional) and 35.
  • If significant improvement isn’t observed, your TMS psychiatrist may adjust your protocol to enhance effectiveness.

Step 7: Final TMS Review

At session 35, your TMS psychiatrist will conduct a comprehensive final review to assess your progress and plan for the future.

  • Evaluate your overall response to TMS treatment.
  • Discuss next steps, including any follow-up care.
  • Provide a summary letter to your GP, outlining your treatment and progress.

Our experienced TMS clinicians closely monitor your progress through validated clinical rating scales and daily evaluations to ensure the best possible outcome.

Ongoing Care & Follow-Up Options

Many patients benefit from follow-up TMS sessions to maintain or regain progress.

1. Maintenance TMS

  • Recommended for those who had a strong response to TMS, particularly if medications haven’t been effective.
  • Involves monthly TMS sessions to help prevent relapse and support long-term mood stability.
  • Helps sustain neuroplasticity, reinforcing lasting improvements.
  • Not required, but offers additional protection against relapse.

2. Retreatment TMS

  • If you initially improved but begin to relapse, you may qualify for Medicare-covered Retreatment TMS.
  • This includes 15 sessions (5 times per week for 3 weeks).
  • If your mood starts to decline, contact us—our team will guide you through the next steps or discuss affordable private TMS options.
