EMDR-Plus

Therapist-guided EMDR in Virtual Reality: precise, personal, and fully under your control.

Available in
Psylaris Care™

Targeted trauma processing, fully under your direction

With EMDR-Plus, you deliver EMDR sessions in a controlled VR environment, where you as the therapist maintain complete control. Through the dashboard, you steer stimuli, adjust intensity, and follow responses in real time, without any distraction or technical actions for the client.

This combines the depth of classical EMDR with the power and precision of Virtual Reality: safe, consistent, and fully tailored to the client.

Full control, insight, and efficiency

Through the Psylaris dashboard, you as the therapist maintain full control over the session. You steer stimuli, adjust tasks in real time, and follow SUD/VOC scores directly on one screen. The standardised VR environment ensures consistent quality and prevents variation between sessions, making each treatment safe, measurable, and consistent.

Full control with 13 distraction tasks

In EMDR-Plus, you choose from 13 different distraction tasks: visual, auditory, and cognitive. This allows you to determine the ideal working-memory load, fully matched to the client’s reactions and capacity.

Automatic adjustment with AI

The autopilot in EMDR-Plus uses AI to continuously analyse the client’s responses. Speed and intensity are automatically adjusted to ensure the optimal working-memory load is always reached.

Flexible stimulation with your own or existing media

With EMDR-Plus, you easily add additional stimuli to the session using the extensive Psylaris exposure library or by uploading your own media, such as images, sounds, or videos that match the client’s personal experience. This allows you to build tension or sensory engagement in a controlled way, load the working memory purposefully, and tailor therapy even more closely to the client’s reality.

The power of EMDR-Plus in clinical practice

EMDR-Plus elevates EMDR therapy to a higher level of precision and control.
 Therapists guide every session fully through the Psylaris dashboard, with direct influence over speed, intensity, and type of stimulation.
 Thanks to the VR environment, the client remains focused, sessions are delivered more consistently, and the process becomes more efficient without compromising quality or safety.

Full control for the therapist, with real-time guidance in VR
13 different distraction tasks for optimal working-memory load
Automatic registration of SUD/VOC scores and session data

Read the experience of Florentine

“In just two sessions, even with a severe trauma, we worked through it.”

Florentine treated a girl who was very tense about starting EMDR and avoided many things. Nothing seemed to help until she introduced the VR headset. The girl became curious about the moving dot and the maths tasks, and could choose things herself: which colours, whether the dot should bounce. She felt in control, making it easier and safer to start.

The experience of Femmeke

 “It can also be used at home at moments that trigger memories of traumatic experiences.”


 Within our organisation we use the Psylaris VR headsets, mainly for EMDR-VR, EMDR-Remote and the Relaxation module, and to a lesser extent for Exposure. As an applied psychologist, and with personal experience working with EMDR-VR, I support both clients and therapists in trajectories where the headset is used alongside regular face-to-face sessions.


 I provide colleagues with guidance on what matters when using VR at home: safety for the client, agreements about contact after sessions, and discussing results via the dashboard. Clients who consider using EMDR-VR at home receive detailed information about the advantages and limitations, what they can expect and how to plan sessions in a way that matches their capacity. We also discuss which distraction techniques may help and how they can use the relaxation module after each session.


 Clients receive a manual after the conversation, and if needed we create a plan together that we adjust along the way. For therapists this guidance is valuable, especially when they are using the headset for the first time in trauma treatment. For clients it is reassuring to hear how others have experienced it.


 When a client is able to complete sessions independently, EMDR-VR at home becomes a meaningful addition. It can speed up the treatment process, offer more space to work on triggers within the same timeframe, and allows sessions to happen exactly at the moments when traumatic memories surface. This way, clients can work on recovery in their own environment, at the moments that matter most.
