Blended Care
iPractice Way of Working
Blended Care means that you are treated by a team of two psychologists. A psychologist for in-depth conversations, and an online psychologist who can easily be contacted and provides support.
Positive change in behaviour is based on new insights and practise. That’s why we help you practice with your newly gained knowledge and techniques.
1. In the consultation room
Your in-depth conversations typically last 45 minutes. You meet with your consultation room psychologist at one of our locations. Together, you explore your symptoms and what solutions might help. After your first session you have gained more insight in your disease and have often received one or two exercises to get started.
All on-site conversations can also be digital, through a video call. For example when you are limited in meeting at our practice location. You and your psychologist can easily change on-site locations into a digital conversation.
2. Online contact
In between your consultations, your online psychologist is available for day-to-day contact. She or he helps you with background information on your symptoms (‘psychological education’) and helps you practice with all new insights that you have gained during your therapy. Because changing your behavior takes time and a lot of practice!
Contact with your online psychologist is through your personal secured chat platform or video calls. All reporting during our treatment program is done in this interactive chat platform. This allows you to always access your own treatment history, and interact with your psychologist via sharing chat messages, photos, videos etc.
Is something bothering you? Stop worrying and aks your online psychologist for help. Sharing your emotions at the moments that matter to you, allows us to tailor the treatment program to your needs.
Evaluation
After your first sessions in the consultation room it’s time to evaluate progress. You are asked to fill out a questionnaire to assess the level of complaints and wellbeing. What steps did you already take? What progress did you make? What goals are you going to set for the rest of the treatment program?
The final sessions of your treatment program are all about consolidation of what you have learned. You and your psychologists create a plan that helps you to stay the better version of you, after treatment at iPractice is finished.
