BSS Psychology

From uneditable to indispensable: a secure, multi-audience platform transforming mental health service delivery.

How do you serve three distinct audiences
when you can't even edit your website?

BSS Psychology, a leading provider of Employee Assistance Programs and workplace mental health services, faced a digital crisis that threatened their ability to serve clients effectively. Their 8-year-old website was completely uneditable — frozen in time while their services and client needs evolved dramatically.

"Not very functional and intuitive - people can't find what they are looking for," the BSS team explained during initial consultations. The practice served three distinct audiences — HR managers seeking workplace programs, individuals needing counselling, and organisations requiring mental health solutions — yet their outdated platform couldn't effectively serve any of them.

Most critically, BSS Psychology had no secure method for distributing confidential psychological assessments and workplace reports. Field psychologists working at client sites couldn't access resources on mobile devices. The website that should have been their primary service delivery tool had become their biggest operational bottleneck.

Building a Secure, Multi-Audience Platform

Our consultation revealed BSS Psychology needed more than a website refresh — they required a complete digital ecosystem supporting their complex service delivery model. The solution had to balance public information with secure client areas while serving internal team needs.

Three Platforms in One Cohesive System

Lab 385 delivered a comprehensive digital ecosystem that transformed BSS Psychology's service delivery through three integrated platforms, each designed for specific needs while maintaining seamless connectivity.

Public Website

Intuitive navigation for all audiences with clear service categorisation

Secure Client Portal

Confidential report distribution with role-based access controls

Staff Intranet

Daily operational hub that became default browser homepage

Mobile-Optimised

Full field psychologist access at client sites

Integrated Booking

Streamlined appointment system for all service types

Clear Navigation

"BSS & You" and "BSS & Your Organisation" service paths

The Intranet That Became Everyone's Homepage

The staff intranet exceeded all expectations, becoming so integral that employees set it as their default browser homepage. This internal platform transformed daily operations with features like pinned posts, resource libraries, and streamlined communications across BSS Psychology's 30+ person team.
The secure client portal revolutionised service delivery. Corporate clients could now access confidential workplace assessments, training materials, and program resources through role-based access controls. Drag-and-drop file uploads, PDF previews, and granular permissions made sharing sensitive psychological reports both secure and efficient.
Service navigation solved the critical "can't find anything" problem through clear categorisation: "BSS & You" for individuals and "BSS & Your Organisation" for corporate clients, making it immediately obvious where each audience should go.
The transformation: From an uneditable 8-year-old website to a fully self-managed digital ecosystem. Manual report distribution became secure automation. Field teams gained complete mobile access. Most importantly, a website that was once the biggest operational bottleneck became the cornerstone of efficient service delivery.
