VR THERAPY

Introduction

Take advantage of these virtual worlds designed to help with your mental resilience and to make the changes you need in your life. Mental Massages have created these VR experiences to compliment counselling and therapy or even be used on their own.

Clients are loving the VR Therapy, the feeling of being swept into a lovely place and guided through help in a specific area.

How does it work

You dont need to know anything about the technology, Lyndall will guide you through the process and make sure you are comfortable throughout.

The special headset combined with the headphones mean you will see and hear the virtual places as if you were there. Each VR session will feel like you have been transported to a new place, perhaps sitting beside a calming stream or in an enchanted woodland where the voice over will guide you through the specific content.

Individual sessions may cover things like relaxation, mindfulness, making changes and resilience or more specific topics such as stop smoking. The VR sessions are generally between 10 and 20 minutes each with people doing one or two at a time.

You just have to sit and enjoy the experience, then return to repeat or try further experiences to get the most benefit. Note that all the equipment is sanitised before every use.
