Our Main Takeaways

Highest Clinical Intensity

~20% activation across 2,100+ employees with an average of 9.2 sessions per user — the deepest sustained therapeutic engagement of any industry vertical analysed.

Therapy Preference

88% of sessions are with licensed psychologists or psychotherapists. The 12% coaching share reflects the sector's growth culture, yet clinical need overwhelmingly dominates actual demand.

Cognitive Load Gap

Clinicians identify cognitive problems and burnout far more than employees self-report — many engineers and IT professionals normalise cognitive strain as "part of the job," missing the clinical signal beneath it.

Engineering Leads Demand

Engineering teams account for 42% of platform usage and show the deepest per-user engagement. Operations and product roles also carry disproportionate mental health burden relative to headcount.

Validated ROI of 5.4–7.8×

For a 500-person software & IT organisation, the estimated annual economic impact is EUR 110,000–159,000. Knowledge-worker presenteeism is the single largest value driver in the model.

Silent Burnout

In software & IT, burnout presents not as visible crisis but as quiet disengagement, motivational decline, and presenteeism — eroding output among the highest-value people without triggering standard warning signals.

The Gender Gap

~65% of users are female, ~35% male — notable given tech workforces skew heavily male, particularly in engineering and DevOps roles. Male employees are structurally underserved by self-referral models.

Deep Return Rates

85% of software & IT users return for a second session, and 73% continue beyond three — confirming sustained therapeutic relationships rather than one-off curiosity or crisis consultations.
