I feel like this is becoming part of me, what's happening here between us. Every time we speak, I come away with something. I've realised that, without knowingly noticing, I am changing. I used to think that I could never escape this experience, and I'd never get better. But it has dimensions now, it has a defined space. It's still here, and I'm growing around it.

The Gift of Therapy

Having witnessed and experienced the benefits of high-quality therapeutic care, we at eido are committed to improving access to high-quality, effective therapeutic care for all.


We developed eido • sow as a means of support for those less able to access therapy by conventional means. We have the privilege of working alongside donors, organisations and communities to see funding raised for subsidised or fully-funded brief and long-term psychotherapeutic care for those who need it.


If you are a friend, family member, faith group leader or even a former client and you'd like to sponsor someone you care about to access therapy, eido • sow is an incredible way to pay healing forward, and change your world for the better.
