The Hospital Scene has been designed to support individuals who experience anxiety, avoidance, or distress around hospital environments and medical procedures. It provides a safe, controlled way to gradually build familiarity and confidence before attending real appointments. Specialist areas, such as MRI suites and treatment bays, allow therapists to explore specific triggers, rehearse coping strategies, and use graded exposure techniques to reduce anticipatory anxiety. This enables clients to practice relaxation, grounding, and communication skills in context, improving readiness and resilience ahead of medical visits.
The Hospital Scene can be adapted for a wide range of needs, from general medical avoidance and procedural anxiety to preparation for regular appointments or treatments. By combining clinical expertise with immersive realism, it offers a powerful bridge between therapy and real-world recovery
Therapists can guide clients step-by-step through a realistic hospital journey — from entering the building and finding their way through corridors, to sitting in waiting areas and moving into consultation rooms. This allows graded, supported exposure to each part of the experience.
