Public spending on health and social care is expected to double over the next fourty years
The Vision
To improve the quality and accessibility of mental health services for those who need it.
To destigmatize the world of poor mental health.
Our vision focuses not only on the client and practitioner, but the future of talking therapies including both the ease and efficiencies of how this empirically backed, social science can help improve or save lives.
Goals
To create a brand within the mental health sector that is immediately associated with safety, confidentiality, expertise, unconditional compassion and hope.
To become a leading go- to provider of mental health solutions in the UK, Scandinavia and Europe within the next 3-5 years.
To create an e-World that brings practitioners together, a common ground where both national and internatio- nal cross referrals can be made
How
We will create a sustainable technologically driven platform enabling clients direct access to experts within the mental health sector either online or in-person. Eunoia's platform aims to be fully operational by Q2 2021.
Initially we will target the UK, European and Scandinavian markets.
The market segment best defined as those able to pay anywhere from £50 - £150 per therapy hour. We project that men and women between the ages of 25-55 in western Europe are financially able and willing to engage in this means-tested online therapy approach.
