A practice built around people, not paperwork

Eiko Therapy began with a simple belief: that expert care feels better when it's joined-up, personal and genuinely kind. Today we bring specialists together so families and professionals only ever have one team to trust.

Our story

Expertise that feels human

For years we watched people bounce between disconnected services, repeating their story to stranger after stranger. We wanted to build something calmer — a place where the right specialists sit around the same table and plan together.

That’s what Eiko is. A small, dedicated team of occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and specialists who care about the details, communicate clearly and treat every person with real warmth.

  • Founded by senior clinicians
  • HCPC-registered therapists
  • Clinic, home, school & online
  • Trusted by families & courts

A message from our founder

There's only so much a website can say

We started Eiko because we believe expert care should feel personal, joined-up and genuinely kind — never a conveyor belt.

In a couple of minutes, our founder shares why the practice exists, what matters most to us, and exactly what you can expect from the moment you get in touch.

Why choose Eiko

Care you can genuinely trust

The difference is in how we work — thoughtful, joined-up and always centred on the person in front of us.

Multidisciplinary team

Occupational therapists, speech therapists and specialists who plan together, so nothing falls between the gaps.

Evidence-based approach

Every recommendation is grounded in current research and measured against clear, agreed goals.

Personalised care

No two people are the same. We shape each plan around the person in front of us — never a template.

Compassionate support

Warm, unhurried and genuinely kind. You'll feel listened to from the very first conversation.

Flexible appointments

Clinic, home, school or online — at times that fit around real life, not the other way around.

Collaborative working

We keep families, schools and other professionals in the loop, so everyone is pulling in one direction.
