About Psylaris

What do I need to work with Psylaris?

You need a VR headset (provided by Psylaris) and access to the Psylaris dashboard on your computer or laptop. This allows you to start sessions, adjust settings, track progress, and gain insight into results with ease.

How does Psylaris handle privacy and security?

Psylaris meets the highest privacy and security standards. All data is stored in encrypted form, and the therapist always retains full control over client information. Our software is fully GDPR-compliant and meets medical safety guidelines.

Is there scientific evidence that VR works in mental healthcare?

Yes. Several independent and in-house studies show that VR is effective for EMDR, relaxation, and exposure therapy. Research from Tilburg University, Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, and Mental Care Group confirms that VR interventions can lead to faster recovery, reduced stress, and increased treatment capacity.

Who are Psylaris’ VR solutions designed for?

Our applications are developed for therapists in mental healthcare who support clients with trauma-, anxiety- or stress-related difficulties. They can be used in clinics, private practices, and blended care pathways.

What exactly does Psylaris do?

Psylaris develops innovative Virtual Reality (VR) applications for mental healthcare. Our solutions help therapists make treatments more effective, accessible, and efficient without losing quality or personal attention.

Psylaris Care

How does Psylaris Care help reduce waiting times?

With autonomous modules such as EMDR-VR, clients can carry out sessions independently. This increases treatment capacity and helps reduce waiting times without compromising quality.

Which clients is Psylaris Care suitable for?

The platform is designed for clients with anxiety-, stress- or trauma-related difficulties who benefit from repeated practice and autonomous use. Psylaris Care is used in practices and mental-health organisations that work with blended or hybrid treatment models.

How do I maintain control as a therapist when a client uses VR independently?

Through the Psylaris dashboard, you can start sessions, adjust settings, and view session data. You maintain full control of the treatment process, even when a client practises independently.

What is Psylaris Care?

Psylaris Care is our VR platform for mental healthcare. It consists of several modules, including EMDR-VR, EMDR-Plus, 360-Video, and Relaxatie. Therapists can use these modules flexibly within their treatment pathways.

Psylaris Relax

Can Psylaris Relax be used at home?

Yes, clients can take the VR headset home to practise relaxation exercises independently, for example during stressful periods between sessions.

Is there evidence that Relaxatie works?

Yes. Several studies show that VR-based relaxation reduces stress, heart rate, and tension, and that users feel calmer and more at ease. Therapists also report that Relaxatie helps clients enter sessions better prepared and more regulated.

Who is Psylaris Relax designed for?

For clients experiencing stress, tension, anxiety, or fatigue. The module is also used with parents of hospitalised children, healthcare professionals, and clients in psychiatric wards, with demonstrably positive effects.

What is Psylaris Relax?

Relaxatie is a VR module that helps clients relax, reduce tension, and regulate stress during therapy sessions and at home. The exercises include guided meditations, breathing sessions, and calming VR environments.

EMDR-Remote

When should I use EMDR-Remote?

When physical presence is not possible, for example for clients with mobility issues, travel anxiety, or during waiting-list periods. It offers flexibility without compromising effectiveness.

Is EMDR-Remote safe and effective?

Yes. EMDR-Remote is developed according to the standard EMDR protocol and offers the same therapeutic quality as in-person sessions. The connection is fully secure and meets GDPR requirements.

What are the benefits of EMDR-Remote?

It enables EMDR treatment for clients who cannot attend the clinic in person. You retain full control over the stimuli (such as eye movements or auditory signals), while the client experiences them in real time. This ensures continuity of care, even at a distance.

What is EMDR-Remote?

EMDR-Remote is the online variant of Psylaris EMDR, enabling you to conduct full EMDR sessions remotely. The client logs in at home on a secure platform while you guide the session via video call.
