Designed for social counselling

From social counselling practice. For social counselling practice.

Connecta was developed in close collaboration with the leading German welfare organisations specifically for the requirements of social counselling. Not a general video conferencing tool – a real counselling solution.

Low threshold & accessibility

Counselling for all – without technical barriers.

The real art lies in making complex things look simple. Connecta is designed so that:

  • No app installation required – runs in the browser

  • Registration process reduced to the absolute minimum

  • Anonymous counselling without registration possible

  • Accessibility according to BITV 2.0 standard

  • Software available in "Easy Language" (from Q4 2023)

  • Responsive design: all devices, all screen sizes

Blended Counselling

Online and on-site – seamlessly connected.

Connecta understands online counselling as a complement, not a replacement for in-person counselling:

  • QR codes and direct links to individual counsellors

  • Clients can simply continue digitally after an in-person counselling session

  • The same counsellor – online and in person

  • All information centrally documented in the counselling history

  • Seamless transitions between chat, video, audio and in-person counselling

Blended Counseling
Management & Control

Complete autonomy for your organisation.

Every counselling organisation has its own structures. Connecta can be fully adapted to your needs: own branding, individual counselling topics, assignment by postcode areas – all without IT knowledge. Detailed statistics facilitate billing and proof of funding.

Our mission: enabling access to counselling for people in difficult life situations.

After years of close collaboration with Caritas and Diakonie, online counselling has become part of our DNA. What started as a project ended as a mission: we enable organisations in the health and social sector to offer their services at any time, securely and to everyone who needs their counselling and support. There are many ways to give back to society, and one of them is the continuous development of open-source products, such as Connecta.

For me personally, Connecta is a way to live our values – to create a mindful and reliable togetherness and mutual care.
