Who we treat
Kindt Clinics welcomes people with a specific, clearly defined fear that affects their daily life.
You avoid certain situations or places because of your fear.
You plan around it, sometimes without fully realising.
The anticipation is often as bad as the fear itself.
How the treatment works
Free 15-minute callYou speak with one of our psychologists. They listen to your situation, answer your questions, and give advice.
01
Online
Diagnostic assessmentWe talk through your fear in depth – what it is, how it affects you, and what would help most. You leave with a clear picture and a treatment recommendation, whether that’s Memrec or something else.
02
DAY one
The treatment session
At our clinic, a psychologist guides you through a single session designed around your specific fear. You then take a single dose of a beta blocker, which prevents the fear from being re-stored in the same way.
03
DAY two
Test the effect
You return the next day. Most patients are surprised by what they notice – the automatic fear that was always there is gone overnight. Together we practise real-life situations to experience that for yourself.
* Results based on routine clinical data from 3,500+ patients treated since 2018. 82% remission, 13% clinically significant improvement at 2-5 month follow-up.
Built on 25 years of fear research
Phobias are learned, not something we are born with. Research published in Nature in 2000 showed that under specific conditions, fear memories can become open to change – a process called memory reconsolidation.
Professor Merel Kindt translated this finding into clinical practice. Through her research at the University of Amsterdam, she developed Memrec – a specific form of CBT with the addition of a single medication to target the reconsolidation process.
Kindt Clinics is the first specialist clinic to apply this method outside of academic research. Featured in the Channel 4 documentary The Fear Clinic (2024).
