How I work with you
There are three different types of consultation to choose from; each with the same level of generous inbuilt support. [Please see my Rates for more details]
• Home visit package
• Telephone Consultation Package
• Clinic Consultation Package
Step One - Assessment:
I will
ask you to keep a simple sleep diary for a few days prior to the individual
consultation of your choice. This will help both of us to see your child’s
sleep in a realistic light and will help when I am formulating the sleep plan.
When we meet or speak, we will discuss your diary in detail and look at all
other factors which influence his/her ability to sleep. Through assessment,
I will be able to establish what the reason for the sleep problem is and what
you need to do in order to resolve it. I will also need to find out about
your natural parenting style, so that I can offer you a solution that is not
only effective, but is one that you feel comfortable with.
Step two: Designing
your child’s sleep plan
By targeting the cause of the difficulty
and not just relying on a single wholesale method, such as controlled crying,
your sleep plan will be specific and gentle. It will also respect your
personal approach to parenting. Because each child and family are different,
the advice that I offer you will be designed and tailor made especially
for you. Most important of all, by using proven techniques; your sleep plan
will be effective.
Step three: Implementation and support
After our consultation and receiving your sleep plan, I can assure you that you will feel confident in tackling your child’s sleep problem. Even so, I will offer you telephone contact twice a week for four weeks after you make a start. This way I can support you and together we can work through any difficulties that you might run into. My clients find this support utterly invaluable.
The majority of sleep problems are resolved within two weeks…..and often much quicker.
