The vision
A practitioner looking for somewhere to practise runs into questions that have nothing to do with their profession: a long lease, a heavy deposit, a keyring to manage, isolation. LocaPsy takes those questions on so that the practitioner has only their consultations to think about.
The model
Flexible renting — from half a day a week to a private room by the month — as a service agreement rather than a sublease. Access is handled from a phone. Locations open close to existing places of care, so that patients need not cross a whole county.
Coordination
Bringing psychologists and psychiatrists into one centre is not a property convenience: it is what lets a patient be referred without being lost on the way, and a case be discussed between two appointments.
The ambition
Montesson is a pilot. If the model holds — if it answers a real need for practitioners and patients — it will be repeated elsewhere. We would rather open one place that works than ten that promise.
