XR Therapeutics is a start-up company, spun out of Newcastle University which has been based on over 9 years of clinical and academic research. Our service combines traditional CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) with gradual exposure to treat phobias and situation specific anxiety. Our solution is delivered using VR (Virtual Reality) technology within a fully immersive environment. The unique treatment can be adapted by a therapist in real time via a tablet, as we work alongside clinicians and end users to tailor scenes based on the needs of the recipient. The treatment can be delivered in 1-4 weeks across 1-4 sessions.
