Welcome. I am Dr Wendy Isenwater
"Wendy was great with my 10-year old daughter, who was having night-time anxieties and was unable to sleep on her own. She had a developed a lot of (obsessive) rituals at bedtime to cope, but these were also worrying us. In just a few CBT sessions, Wendy helped her understand her worries, and taught her how to tackle them. The sessions were a lot of fun, and my daughter is now able to sleep peacefully in her room, most of the time!"

“Wendy was a great support for our son at a very stressful time. Her calm and friendly manner always put our son at ease. Wendy made a real difference in our sons life giving him the self-esteem and confidence that was missing. She reassured us as parents that everything was going to be ok. Wendy was and still is only a phone call away.”

"Wendy had such a lovely, calm and warm manner, my son immediately connected with her and enjoyed his weekly sessions. She gave us both lots of time and support and had the right balance of empathy and practical help. Wendy was excellent at proactively engaging with the school to make sure we were all on the same page. I started to see really positive results in my son's behaviour and emotions after just a few sessions, which helped me to get my confidence back too. I am very grateful to Wendy."

"Wendy's help and advice has been invaluable in helping us to support the complex needs of our child whilst at the same time helping him to understand more clearly his emotions, triggers and the consequences of his actions."
"We feel so grateful for the support that Wendy has offered to our son and to us as parents. He needed help managing his anxiety and OCD but as a teenage boy was hugely reluctant to go and talk about his feelings. After one visit he committed to the process and it has made an enormous difference. As parents we have felt safe and held and supported and so grateful to have had Wendy's expert guidance."
“I found the sleep workshop with very useful. She explained the various methods of sleep training, and the theories behind them, in a clear way. It gave me the confidence to decide what was right for us and how I wanted to help my son learn to sleep through, without having to wade through parenting books whilst sleep deprived. It was a structured session that felt informal and supportive, and ultimately helped me to make positive changes in the way I was handling bedtime routines
