WELCOME TO UNFOLD PSYCHOLOGY
Recognizing the need for help is challenging enough; finding the right and best clinician should be simple and straightforward. Below you will find a brief discussion of our techniques, experience and central therapeutic tenets. At Unfold Psychology we work with children, adolescents, parents and families, to provide both support and treatment for a wide range of social, domestic, personal and psychological concerns.
Regardless of who we are working with, our primary focus is on improving self-esteem, building self-confidence and working to enrich our patients self-worth. The more faith a person has in their own abilities and innate uniqueness, the more they are able to engage with the world they live in, the family they were belong to and the life they deserve to experience. Put simply, we aim to improve our patients quality of life.
MANAGE YOUR STRESS & ANXIETY WITH VIRTUAL REALITY
More than a decade of controlled studies have shown the effectiveness and efficiency of VR-based therapy intervention on mental disorders, especially anxiety and specific phobias. Its level of clinical effectiveness is higher than the traditional imagination exposure technique. It is also as effective as in vivo exposure. Many people with mental conditions tend to prefer VR interventions because in vivo exposure can be too intense. VR gives your therapist more control of the environment to which you are exposed, so that the level of exposure adjusts to and fits your needs and the intervention process. Also, VR therapy respects your confidentiality, being that you won’t need to leave your therapist’s office like in cases of real-life exposure.
- It is validated by more than 25 years of research
- It is more effective than traditional imaginative techniques
- It is less intrusive and provides more privacy
