Our OpenUp and iPractice ventures help people become and stay mentally and physically healthy. We continuously develop our practice and online platform for mental well-being. Users can start directly with various online programs and connect face to face with a psychologist. All programs are evidence-based, result-oriented and short and sweet. Sustainable results come from daily practice and users are supported by an accessible system and network of psychologists. We offer our services all over Europe, in various languages. We help hundreds of people every day and the number of users is growing fast.

Your job
At OpenUp we are focusing on preventive care, which means that we don't do diagnosis, but we are there for day-to-day struggles. OpenUp is open 6 days a week: for planned video consults and spontaneous consults via video. We guarantee short term availability and accessibility. We believe that minimizes the barriers people experience to work on their mental and physical health because we know that emotions don't do waiting lists. As a lifestyle expert you will work together with your client towards a goal in a set of 25-minute sessions.
You provide preventive consultations in the field of lifestyle. The goal of the consultation is to provide the client with access to a healthy lifestyle and address lifestyle-related complaints. In online conversations, you are challenged to make that goal as specific as possible and to make an impact: what is the first step someone can take today? Your work will consist of consultations with a variety of people and requests for help and possible weekly intervision sessions to support you and your personal and professional development.
On average, you speak to a client for about 3 to 5 sessions to work on a specific request for help. This can vary, so it is also possible for someone to schedule a one-time appointment or, say, 8 appointments to work on a goal, together with you. Besides that, you are invited to contribute to inspiring content, like our online programs, group sessions, articles, or masterclasses.
