Meet the Team

Dr Isadora Wainwright is the Director of Wainwright Family Support, which she has been running since 2022 with the aim of providing in-depth, holistic support for families and children. She specialises in working with children aged 4 to 17, focusing on their wellbeing, emotional development, and behaviour.

Her approach is grounded in both professional training and lived experience. She holds a doctorate in psychology, is a qualified teacher, and is a former member of the British Gymnastics Team. This combination gives her 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.

Francesca is a qualified Speech and Language Therapist from City St George's University. She also holds a Teaching Diploma from Modern Montessori International and a bachelor's degree in psychology from Roehampton University, and originally joined us as a class teacher.

She now works as Special Educational Needs support alongside Isadora, and runs the Social Skills Groups in the School, helping children in areas they find a little more challenging. In her free time, she enjoys going to the theatre and baking.

Janna Ismail is a HCPC-registered Children's Occupational Therapist and a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists. She has experience delivering NHS Children's Occupational Therapy services, including completing assessments, contributing to Education, Health and Care Plans across school, home and clinic settings, and delivering goal-driven intervention sessions.

Her assessments take a holistic, child-centred approach, drawing on information gathered through collaboration with the child, parents or carers, and education settings. She supports children with functional needs including fine and gross motor skills, attention and regulation, self-care, and independence with everyday routines, working closely with families and professionals to develop practical, tailored strategies.

Alexandra Grossman holds an MSc in Psychological Sciences from University College London and has experience across psychology, education, humanitarian, and mental health settings. Her interests include attachment, trauma, emotional wellbeing, and the impact of social and environmental circumstances on mental health.

She is passionate about supporting children, families, and individuals through compassionate, psychologically informed approaches that recognise each person's unique circumstances and strengths.
