A health-promoting practice

What if the design of your practice could be used specifically as a psychosocial resource? What if spatial elements could help your clients to build trust, experience self-efficacy and a sense of security? What if the interplay of space, objects and communication media could be individually tailored to your psychotherapeutic work and the specific needs of your clients?

A large number of scientific studies illustrate the influence that the design of rooms, products and services can have on thinking, experience and behavior. Take advantage of this potential for health-promoting and needs-oriented practice spaces! With our offer, we would like to contribute to optimized framework conditions in psychotherapeutic practices and facilities that take into account the needs of clients and therapists alike.

We offer you tailored packages at a fixed price

  • 1

    Briefing (online)
    In a free preliminary meeting, we determine relevant topics and plan our project together. Your own spatial "signature" plays a major role here. From e.g., premises to processes and websites there are lots of possibilities here.

  • 2

    Walk-though (on site)
    In a first step, we analyze the existing conditions. We document the premises and general conditions photographically and analyze your practice using our evidence-based analysis grid for healthy psychotherapy practices. We look at aspects such as the lighting situation, acoustics, room layout, walking routes and issues from the field of patient experience design.

  • 3

    Client survey
    We use surveys to assess the needs and opinions of your clients in relation to the practice premises. This serves as both a source of inspiration and a point of reference for the subsequent evaluation.

  • 4

    Deriving design potentials
    Based on our analyses and the client survey, we identify specific optimization potentials for your premises.

  • 5

    Design concepts (optional)
    Optionally, we can further specify these design potentials and develop tailored space concepts. In this context, we are also happy to provide you with product recommendations and help find service providers for the structural implementation of the concepts.

  • 6

    Evaluation of the redesign
    A second survey enables us to objectively review the actual effect of the adjustments and to identify any potential for improvement.

  • 7

    Completion with certificate and wrap-up
    Practices that meet the requirements of the analysis grid for healthy psychotherapy practices can receive the label "Advised by the Designinstitut für Gesunde Gestaltung" from us for free use on websites and practice signs.

Research.

We investigate design potentials for health and well-being in the immediate setting. To this end, we use empirical research methods with the involvement of users.

Design.

Based on our own research and extensive investigation, we develop solutions together with users. In doing so, we take into account the entire system from space to digital channels and the processes that take place within it.

Communicate.

Only when knowledge about health-promoting design is applied can we live up to our claim. Therefore, we work to communicate evidence-based knowledge through lectures, materials, and publications.
