Immersive technology that allows therapeutic experiences to be explored in a controlled clinical environment.
What Is VR-Based Therapy?
VR-based therapy uses virtual environments to simulate situations relevant to an individual's therapeutic goals. Rather than simply discussing a difficult situation, therapy can involve experiencing a carefully designed version of it under professional guidance.
The therapist controls the pace and intensity, allowing the experience to be adjusted according to the individual's response.
Who Can Benefit
Guided virtual exposure can help individuals gradually work through specific fears in a controlled setting.
Simulated social situations can provide opportunities to practise communication with greater comfort and confidence.
Virtual environments can recreate everyday situations to help individuals practise managing discomfort at their own pace.
Carefully guided virtual experiences may support therapeutic work as part of an appropriate recovery plan.
Virtual cues can help individuals recognise and work through triggers with guidance from their therapist.
Immersive virtual environments can support relaxation while helping individuals practise healthier coping techniques.
Our Approach
Virtual environments are chosen around individual therapy goals.
The therapist explains the session and prepares the individual.
The experience is introduced gradually with professional supervision.
Experiences and responses are discussed to guide future sessions.
Why It Matters
VR can recreate selected situations without requiring individuals to encounter them in real life. This gives therapists greater control over how and when an experience is introduced.
The virtual setting can also be repeated and adjusted, making each session responsive to individual progress.
Still Got Questions?
The virtual environment depends on the therapeutic goal and the experience selected by the therapist.
Yes. The session can be guided and adjusted according to the individual's response.
