Welcome to Wainwright Family Support

Our child therapy sessions create a safe and welcoming space for children to explore their thoughts and feelings. Each session provides an opportunity for your child to discuss challenges, gain understanding, and develop tools for managing emotions and behaviours. Whether held at home for added comfort or at our inviting clinic, these sessions are designed to nurture growth and resilience. We believe that with the right support, children can gain confidence and insight, empowering them to thrive through challenging times.

• Home Visits: £150 per session
• Clinic Visits: £120 per session 

These sessions offer parents a space to discuss current work with their child, review the implementation of home strategies, and share their experiences in a non-judgmental setting. We understand the pressures parents face, and these sessions allow parents to feel supported and heard. Together, we build a strong foundation for compassionate, effective support that can be continued at home.

• Remote Only: £100 per session

Our autism assessments use the ADOS-2, a gold-standard tool for autism diagnosis. We understand how important it is for families to make sense of what may be happening, and our approach is both thorough and compassionate. For those opting for a care plan, we go beyond diagnosis, providing a tailored set of strategies to support the child at home and in school, with regular progress meetings to adapt and refine support as needed. This ensures that the assessment process leads to meaningful, ongoing support for your child and family.

Since school is where children spend much of their time, ensuring they feel safe and supported in this environment is essential. We work closely with schools, conducting observations and advising on strategies to foster a more inclusive, supportive atmosphere. Through tailored adjustments to routines and classroom settings, we help maximize your child’s comfort, engagement, and overall enjoyment of school, making it a positive and accessible space for them. In addition, we can assist with the completion of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) for children, working with parents to outline their child’s specific needs. If necessary, we also support parents through the EHCP appeal process to help secure the appropriate resources and support their child deserves.

Our mediation service is here to support families during transitions, such as separation or renegotiation of family roles. Our mediators have specialised knowledge of child psychology and development, ensuring that decisions prioritise the child’s well-being and stability. Accredited by the National Family Mediation, we offer child-inclusive sessions, either online or in person, where children’s perspectives can be heard in a safe, supportive space. Our goal is to help families make thoughtful, informed decisions that benefit everyone involved, providing stability and clarity during a challenging time.

•  Mediation Information and Assessment Meeting (MIAM): £150 per session (Each parent is seen individually for this initial session)
• Joint Mediation Sessions: £200 per session 

Most therapy sessions and assessments are privately funded by families. We kindly ask that therapy sessions be paid in full before the session begins. 

However, we understand that challenges with children can often arise unexpectedly, making it difficult to forecast the need for support. To accommodate this, we do our best to offer flexible payment plans, allowing you to spread the cost over time if needed.

To help make our services more accessible, we accept a range of childcare credit pay schemes, including those linked to the Student Loans Company. Additionally, if you have an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) in place, we can offer therapy covered by this funding, ensuring that your child’s support aligns with their EHCP.

We work with certain insurance providers. Please contact us to confirm if we accept your specific insurance plan, as coverage may vary.

Our goal is to provide accessible and supportive payment solutions to meet your family’s needs.
