    Our Approach

    A holistic, personalised approach.

    Our approach is holistic and personalised, and we often work alongside other professionals, such as speech and language therapists or occupational therapists, when it benefits the child's overall support plan.

    What We Offer

    Therapy Services

    We offer therapeutic support through flexible options including home visits, clinic appointments, and school-based sessions.

    Child Therapy Sessions

    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 welcoming 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: £145/session
    • Clinic Visits: £130/session
    • Remote (12+): £110/session

    Adult Support Services

    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/session

    Mediation Services

    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.

    • MIAM: £150/session
    • Joint Sessions: £200/session

    School Meetings, Observations & EHCP Support

    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. We can also assist with the completion of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs) and, if necessary, support parents through the EHCP appeal process to help secure the appropriate resources for their child.

    Home & School Visits

    For those who prefer an even more familiar environment, we offer Home Visits as long as a private space is available. We can also arrange School Visits, ensuring that therapy fits seamlessly into your child's school day, minimising disruption to their routine and keeping family time intact. Our flexible approach helps us meet each family's unique needs in a supportive, adaptable way.

    *Reduced rates available for block bookings once a plan is agreed.

    Clinical Pathways

    Assessments & Care Plans

    Our autism and ADHD assessments use gold-standard tools, providing a thorough and compassionate process that leads to meaningful support.

    Autism & ADHD Assessment

    Our autism assessments use the ADOS-2, a gold-standard tool for autism diagnosis. ADHD assessments involve structured clinical assessments based on DSM-V criteria. We help families make sense of what may be happening with a thorough and compassionate approach.

    My Story

    My name is Dr Isadora Wainwright, and I am the Director of Wainwright Family Support, which I have been running since 2022 with the aim of providing in-depth, holistic support for families and children. I specialise in working with children (ages 4-17), focusing on their wellbeing, emotional development, and behaviour. My approach is compassionate and tailored, helping both children and families navigate challenging times, whether it's through transitions, impulse control struggles, or simply when a child is not feeling themselves.

    My approach is grounded in both professional training and lived experience. I hold a doctorate in psychology and, as a former member of the British Gymnastics Team, I understand the intense pressures young people face to perform, manage expectations, and balance school, activities, and personal life.

    Alongside my psychological training, I'm also a qualified teacher. This dual perspective gives me a deep understanding of how school environments, academic demands, and social pressures can affect children, and how challenging it can be for parents to navigate it all.

    I offer in-clinic sessions, school visits, and home sessions to ensure comprehensive and accessible support. By engaging in open conversations, we develop personalised support plans that respect each child's strengths and unique needs. In addition to general support, I specialise in autism assessments, ensuring that children receive the right guidance and care for their journey forward.

    In our work together I will ensure that your child feels understood, and that you are equipped with the tools to cope whilst creating a positive space for change.
