Acture Group announced the acquisition of My7steps with its innovative Value Based Counseling® (VBC) method. This strategic acquisition complements Acture’s market-leading insurance and well-being services in the Netherlands and Germany and expands its service offering with an exclusive, clinically proven counselling approach.
Acture was advised by Active M&A, one of our Partners in Germany, and also supported by Aeternus, our Dutch Partner.
“This acquisition establishes a new benchmark in corporate mental health support,” said Maudie Derks, CEO of Acture. “By incorporating My7steps’ proven VBC method into our service portfolio, we’re not just expanding our offerings – we’re revolutionizing how companies support their employees through crises with a proven methodology.”
The Value-Based Counseling® approach of My7steps has demonstrated remarkable success in helping individuals quickly and sustainably overcome psychological problems. German health insurance providers already recognize the method and will now exclusively be available to Acture’s and Evermood’s clients, significantly expanding their access to qualified counsellors.
Ralph Grobecker, CEO of My7steps, commented: “Joining forces with Acture and Evermood allows us to scale the impact of our Value Based Counseling® method across a broader corporate landscape. Our shared vision of making professional mental health support more accessible aligns perfectly, and we’re excited to see how this integration will benefit existing and new clients.”
The acquisition will provide Acture’s and Evermood’s customers with:
- Exclusive access to My7steps’ extensive network of certified counsellors
- Integration of the VBC method into existing psychosocial and mental health programs
- Enhanced crisis intervention capabilities
- A broader range of GDPR-compliant mental health support options
- This strategic partnership reinforces Acture’s ambition to become the European market leader in employee welfare solutions while maintaining the highest standards of professional care.
