Sleep Consultancy

Adequate sleep is vital for a healthy and happy family. Sleep deprivation has a significant impact on the ability of children and parents to function during the day. Reduced sleep can lead to impaired cognitive function (decision making, learning), impaired immune system, impaired emotional regulation, increased risk of obesity and/ or impaired growth and an increased risk of developing mental health problems for both children and parents. Sleep problems in one child can also lead to all of the above difficulties in a sibling. 
Emma has in depth training in Paediatric Sleep Disorders for Psychologists and offers a range of consultancy packages for supporting parents to improve the sleeping habits of children with a range of needs. She also has two young children and understands the desperation that parents can feel when a child does not sleep well. Emma will work with parents to determine an approach that is gentle and in line with their parenting style and philosophy.
