Tackling negative mental health and the economic implications arising from Covid-19 through an online mental health therapy platform.

Paranimo是一家精神健康技术公司，其使命是：* 通过使用创新的匹配技术，减少寻找合适的英国治疗师的复杂性。增加访问，并促进提供，私人在线谈话治疗的人与现有的和新出现的心理健康问题。支持在英国各地提供和雇用私人心理健康谈话治疗师。由于对一系列心理健康和相关问题的治疗支持需求增加，在新冠肺炎大流行期间尤其需要这种服务，包括：广泛性焦虑，健康焦虑，强迫症，压力，复杂的损失和悲伤，丧亲之痛，创伤，创伤后应激障碍，抑郁症，自我伤害，虐待和家庭暴力。自我隔离和社交距离的要求和限制使得在这些困难时期几乎不可能获得面对面的治疗。客户获得私人心理健康治疗和支持的现有途径既复杂又混乱。寻求支持的人很难以有限的知识来判断治疗师的能力，无论是通过治疗方法，专业知识，资格还是专业会员资格。这会给现有的痛苦带来压力和焦虑。当与基于位置的可用性的限制相结合时，找到合适的治疗师的机会大大减少。私人心理健康治疗师遇到专业挑战，限制了为更多客户提供服务的机会。交付取决于地点，治疗师的选择取决于对客户的方便，而不是专业知识。治疗师缺乏在线营销知识来区分他们的服务，治疗师都列出了类似的专业知识，而不是特定的经验和优势。他们在寻求主管作为持续专业支持和发展的一部分时，也面临着完全相同的信息复杂性，可访问性和交付挑战。为了解决这些挑战，我们：* 创建了一个“一体化”心理健康平台，旨在使用独特的百分比匹配系统，将客户的心理健康情况与英国私人治疗师的专业领域相匹配。*建立一个通过视频提供的安全和可访问的治疗环境-位置永远不会阻碍人们获得所需的心理健康支持。*治疗师资格是可见的，专业会员资格经过验证。5 * 审查制度，以帮助减少对表现不佳的治疗师的不利选择。治疗师受益于主管匹配系统，确保他们在整个实践中获得有效的支持。我们相信，通过我们的平台，我们可以降低复杂性，增加可访问性和交付，并促进更公平地分配心理健康支持的治疗专业知识。

Paranimo is a Mental Health technology company on a mission to:* Reduce the complexity of finding an appropriate UK Therapist by the use of innovative matching technology.* Increase the accessibility to, and facilitate the delivery of, private online talking therapy to people with existing and emerging Mental Health issues.* Support the availability and employment of private Mental Health talking Therapists across the UK.This delivery is particularly needed during the Covid-19 pandemic due to increased demand for therapeutic support across a range of Mental Health and associated concerns including: Generalised Anxiety, Health Anxiety, OCD, Stress, Complex loss and grief, Bereavement, Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Self-Harm, Abuse and Domestic Violence.The demands and limitations of self -- isolation and social distancing have made it practically impossible to access face to face therapy during these difficult times.The existing pathways for Clients accessing private Mental Health therapy and support are both complex and confusing. It is difficult for people seeking support with limited knowledge to judge the competence of Therapists, whether by therapeutic approach, expertise, qualifications or professional memberships. This contributes stress and anxiety to existing distress. When combined with the limitations of location-based availability, the chance of finding an appropriate Therapist is dramatically reduced.Private Mental Health Therapists experience professional challenges limiting opportunities to offer services to greater numbers of clients. Delivery is location dependent with Therapist selected by convenience to the client rather than by expertise. Therapists lack online marketing knowledge to differentiate their services, with Therapists all listing similar expertise, rather than particular experience and strengths. They also face exactly the same information complexity, accessibility and delivery challenges when seeking supervisors as part of continual professional support and development.To solve these challenges, we have:* Created an "all in one" Mental Health platform designed to match Clients' Mental Health circumstances, using a unique percentage matching system, to UK based private Therapists' areas of expertise.* Built a secure and accessible Therapy environment delivered over video - location is never a hindrance to accessing the Mental Health support people need.* Therapist qualifications are viewable, professional memberships verified.* 5 \* Review system to help reduce adverse selection of under-performing therapists.* Therapists benefit from a Supervisor matching system ensuring they receive effective support throughout their practice.We believe that through our platform, we can reduce complexity, increase accessibility and delivery as well as promoting a more equitable distribution of therapeutic expertise for Mental Health support.
