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