Helping people rewrite their story

We build VR tools that help people move beyond stress, fear, and difficult experiences – towards a life they choose.

Why "Restory"?

Whether it's the weight of a stressful job, anxiety that won't let go, a phobia that limits daily life, or trauma that keeps replaying – people can feel stuck in a story they didn't choose. To restory is to change that.

Founded as a spin-out from the University of Northampton, we bring together clinical psychologists, AI researchers, and game designers to create VR experiences grounded in proven therapies. We give people the tools to reshape how they relate to their own experiences – and step into a new chapter.

We co-design everything with clinicians, service users, and people with lived experience, delivering solutions into schools, NHS services, hospitals, and communities.
