Who We Are

At OpenUp, our mission is to make mental well-being accessible to everyone. We support companies, their employees, and their families with proactive and practical mental health services. Through our platform, clients can access 1:1 check-ins, online courses, articles, videos, group sessions, mindfulness practices, and a team of committed experts. We believe that mental and physical well-being are deeply connected. With Lifestyle Experts focusing on nutrition, exercise, and sleep, we offer a truly holistic approach that helps people take ownership of their health. We're proud to work with forward-thinking organizations and are committed to raising the bar on accessible care.

OpenUp is ranked number 3 on LinkedIn's Top Startups list for 2024 and is rapidly growing. We are expanding our international teams and we are searching for like-minded talent. We are already helping over 1500+ (international) companies and 400K+ employees, e.g. Rituals, Deloitte, Decathlon, KPMG, and McDonalds.

About The Assignment

To fuel our growth, we are looking for entrepreneurial, purpose-driven experts who share our vision of making mental well-being direct, approachable, and impactful.

At OpenUp, we focus on prevention. We don't diagnose; we provide guidance for life's everyday challenges - whether it's work-related stress, self-confidence, relationship dynamics, or finding direction in uncertain times.

We offer planned and on-demand video consults seven days a week, ensuring people can access support when they need it most - no long waits, no barriers. In each session (usually 25 minutes), you'll help clients set clear, actionable goals and guide them toward meaningful first steps.

Our mission is to help people build skills and autonomy, so they feel confident to continue their journey independently. Many clients find they gain what they need in just a few focused conversations - thanks to your structured, goal-oriented support.

You'll engage with a wide variety of people, from diverse cultural backgrounds and industries, and you'll have opportunities to grow through weekly intervision sessions and ongoing development. We work together to make mental well-being accessible, practical, and empowering for everyone.

About You

You're a psychologist (MSc) who's passionate about making a difference- both locally and internationally. You enjoy working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and are eager to contribute to a meaningful mission.

We welcome experts who meet the following criteria:

• Strong English communication skills (written and spoken) and confident in delivering consultations in English.
• Master's degree in Psychology.
• Minimum of 4 years' experience in 1:1 clinical conversations.
• Solid knowledge of solution-focused therapy, ACT, and/or CBT.
• Tech-savvy, with a self-reliant approach to digital platforms and systems.
• You have a laptop/computer with Windows 10 or later, OR MacOS Ventura or later, AND an antivirus turned on in your device.
• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and open to continuous learning.
• A team player who thrives independently and takes ownership of personal and professional growth.
• A natural connector: you create a safe, supportive space for clients and act decisively to help them move forward.
• You live the "practice what you preach" mindset, showing integrity and reflection in how you approach both clients and colleagues.

Freelance experience is a plus, as we value self-starters who are confident in managing their own practice.

What You Can Expect

OpenUp is fast growing and you have the chance to become part of this challenging journey. Next to that:

• A freelance contract for 10 hours per week.
• A team with a variety of expertise like work and organizational psychology, health psychology or lifestyle medicine.
• The values we give to our clients, we also practice on ourselves and team members!
• Room for discussion, reflection, personal development and education
• To give direction to your professional development, 2 training day parts per year are facilitated by OpenUp to reflect on your skills and values as a psychologist.
