Who we are
At OpenUp, our mission is to make mental well-being accessible to everyone. We support companies, their employees, and employees' families with mental well-being. Our OpenUp platform provides employees and their families with direct access to mental well-being check-ins, online courses, articles, videos, interactive group sessions, mindfulness sessions, and a team of experienced experts. We strive to build high-performing teams that help people develop to their fullest potential. We take pride in raising the bar and achieving the next level.

We are already helping over 1500+ (international) companies and 300.000+ employees, e.g. Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, Miele, KPMG, Adyen and McDonalds.
iPractice, a pioneering healthcare institution in a traditional landscape, is also part of the OpenUp Group. Together, iPractice and OpenUp share the common goal of revolutionizing mental well-being, ensuring accessibility for diverse individuals, and contributing to enhancing mental health services. iPractice and OpenUp strive to make a positive impact on mental well-being and contribute to the overall improvement of mental well-being services.
Your job
At OpenUp we are focussing on the preventive care, what means that we don’t do diagnosis, but we are there for the day-to-day struggles, such as work related problems, relationships issues, self confidence, purpose of life and lots more!
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 that minimises the barriers people experience to work on their mental health and because we know that emotions don’t do waiting lists.
Together with your client you work towards a goal in a set of 25 minute-sessions. In these 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 of 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.
