Avatars with compassion

In times of stress and anxiety, it is hard for brains to do their ‘best thinking’.

Coaching can really help – but how do we do online working at depth, with powerful emotional labelling and perspective taking?

Using a compassion-informed approach, David will use an innovative avatar-based VR technology to do this – and you can either watch a live demo OR do a hands-on participate using the software.
