Why us
We support individuals with anxiety and phobias through ground-breaking interventions.
We offer a unique virtual reality treatment which will help reduce anxieties and treat phobias for children, young people and adults. By combining traditional Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) with Virtual Reality (VR), our therapists can recreate scenes tailored to the patient’s individual needs. The unique treatment can be adapted by the therapist in real time, they have complete management of the rate of exposure to the phobia, controlling the volume or pace of the chosen scene.
Initially, our treatment was aimed at people with autism who had a specific phobia or anxiety. But now we are expanding it to treat those with mental health issues and to those whose lives have been restricted by a phobia.
Our methods have been extensively tested and have been commended by NHS practitioners. XR Therapeutics was formed following almost a decade of research into immersive therapy using VR by Newcastle University.
