What age group do you work with?

Do you respond to emails?
We will respond to your emails within 48 hours of contact. We will respond sooner where this is possible.
My infant/child has medical issues and/or additional needs, can you help us?
We are trained to include this as part of our assessment. We will ask about this during our introductory call, and advise at this point.
Will I need to leave my child to cry?
While we do not usually recommend the ‘cry-it-out’ method, sleep training involves making changes to your child’s routine at bedtime, which can involve some crying and protests. However, all our recommended methods are tailored to your child’s individual needs and are based on evidence-based interventions. Our assessment includes questions about your child’s temperament which will help us to determine the right sleep training programme to meet your child’s needs.
What if I require more support after 4 weeks?
This is not usually the case, however, if further support is needed you will have the option to purchase additional hours.
I feel very unsure about whether sleep training is right for my child
Please contact us for an initial call, there will be support with your decision and no pressure to work with us if this is not right for you, your child and family.
Will my child need to be directly involved in the program?
This depends upon the age of the child and the presenting problem. Many of our programs are parent-led with our support, however, there are times when it might be more beneficial to involve the child and then this will be considered. For example, if a child is experiencing worries which interfere with their sleep, the program will likely be most beneficial if the child also comes to sessions.
