The centre

A safe placeto be assessed,and to grow.

Since 2019, founded by Sabine Hayek, Eunoia has supported children, adolescents and their families through diagnostic and therapeutic care, under one roof in Verdun, Beirut.

Our name comes from the ancient Greek for beautiful thinking and a state of goodwill. It is a fair description of what we try to hold: empathy, connection, and a view of the whole child rather than the presenting difficulty.

A child who needs two disciplines is given back to back sessions, so a family makes one trip instead of two. The history is taken once, in detail, and every therapist who works with that child reads the same file. Parents are never asked the same questions twice.

The work does not stay inside the room either. We follow up with schools directly, because the classroom is where the progress has to hold.

  • Mission

    To empower families through compassionate, individualised care that recognises each person's strengths as well as their challenges. Evidence based practice, delivered by a multidisciplinary team, so children reach their milestones and build confidence.

  • Vision

    To be a trusted and comprehensive centre for diagnostic and therapeutic care, and part of a community where each person's strengths are supported and celebrated, laying the ground for lifelong resilience.

  • Who we see

    Infants, children, adolescents and parents, across developmental, behavioural and emotional needs. Sessions are held in French or English, matched to the child rather than to the diary.

From the founder
I care very, very much about seeing the children's progress. That is the most important part of therapy for me.

The founder

Sabine M. Hayek

Eunoia was founded by Sabine Hayek, a psychomotor therapist specialising in early childhood and adolescent care, driven by a passion for supporting children and the families around them. She wanted a place where a child's potential could be worked on properly and where families would feel seen, heard and supported.

As the clinic grows, that remains the point of it. Eunoia keeps widening what it offers and deepening the care behind it, aiming to be more than a clinic: a steady support for families and a contribution to a more connected community.

Through workshops and community outreach, we aim to be a cornerstone for families here, a place where guidance, compassion and expertise sit in the same room.
