Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Parenting Coach in Reading, Berkshire
Expert Child Sleep and Behaviour Support for Ages 0-11 Years
UK and Worldwide Service

A paediatric sleep consultant and parenting coach supports parents with the challenges that can arise around their child’s sleep, behaviour, eating, toileting, and understanding any additional needs.

We work with families of children from birth to around 11 years, using a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate expectations. This means we can help you make sense of what’s going on for your child, create realistic strategies, and recognise when something may need further medical or specialist input.

Support is always personalised — taking into account your child’s age, temperament, and your parenting values — so you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.

Unlike general sleep coaches, our paediatric sleep consultants and parenting coaches have specialist training in both child development and family dynamics. This includes:

• Child development and age-appropriate sleep, behaviour, and emotional needs

• Understanding how sleep, behaviour, eating, toileting, and regulation are closely connected

• Identifying sleep and behavioural red flags and knowing when further support may be needed

• Distinguishing between behavioural challenges and medical or developmental factors

• Safe, responsive approaches that support children with additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, and developmental delays

Because we work exclusively with families of children aged 0–11, our support goes beyond sleep alone. We help parents understand their child, respond with confidence, and create realistic strategies that fit their family — not generic, one-size-fits-all advice.

We support families from birth through to around 11 years, adapting our approach to each stage of childhood:

• Newborns (0–3 months) – establishing gentle sleep foundations, safe sleep practices, and helping babies feel secure while parents adjust to early life

• Infants (4–12 months) – supporting predictable routines, emotional security, and age-appropriate ways to encourage longer stretches of sleep

• Toddlers (1–3 years) – navigating sleep disruptions, big emotions, boundaries, and transitions, with a strong focus on helping toddlers feel safe and understood

• Preschoolers (3–5 years) – building consistency, confidence, and independence while maintaining emotional security

• School-age children (5–11 years) – supporting healthy sleep habits, emotional regulation, and security as children grow in independence

• 
  

At every age, our focus is on helping babies and children feel safe, secure, and supported. We tailor our guidance to your child’s development and temperament, and to your family values, so strategies feel respectful, reassuring, and sustainable.

It’s always important to consult your GP or paediatrician first if your child has:

• Snoring, gasping, or pauses in breathing during sleep

• Known medical conditions such as reflux, allergies, or developmental delays

• Ongoing sleep difficulties despite appropriate routines and support

• Signs that may indicate a sleep disorder or underlying medical issue

We work alongside your child’s healthcare providers and never replace medical advice. Our role is to support families once medical causes have been addressed or ruled out.

If you feel something isn’t quite right but you’re struggling to get answers, we can help. We support parents to understand what to look for, gather relevant information, and feel confident asking the right questions — so you’re better equipped to advocate for your child and access the help they need.

Our paediatric sleep consultations for families in Reading, Berkshire, and beyond include:

• In-home consultation (Reading & Berkshire) – from £375 (no travel fees within the local area)

• In-home consultation (London & surrounding areas) – from £375 plus travel (£40–£60)

• Online consultation (UK-wide) – from £275 (no travel fees)

All consultations include 8 weeks of follow-up support, so you’re fully supported as changes are put into place. We also offer reduced rates for families on low incomes — please get in touch to discuss this.

For families needing more intensive, hands-on support, we also offer our Silver and Gold Packages, where we stay with you for 24 or 72 hours. These packages are priced at £1,500 and £3,500 respectively, plus travel, and are available worldwide.

Most families begin to notice positive changes very quickly, often within the first 48 hours, with further improvements over the following weeks:

• First 48 hours – early shifts as routines and responses change; parents often report feeling more confident and reassured straight away, with noticable changes in their children's sleep and behaviour

• Week 1 – an adjustment period as new routines settle, with growing clarity around sleep, behaviour, and boundaries

• Week 2-3 – more settled sleep, calmer evenings, and increased confidence for parents

• Weeks 3–4 – habits are consolidated, strategies refined, and families feel equipped to manage sleep, behaviour, and transitions independently

Every family is different. Progress depends on your child’s temperament, developmental stage, and your individual circumstances. Our 8 weeks of follow-up support ensures you’re guided throughout, so changes feel sustainable and right for your family, and allows for us to support you through a slight regression that might be caused by teething, illness or change in lifestyle.

No. Our approach is based on attachment parenting principles. You won't have to leave your child to cry alone.

We focus on:

- Maintaining parent presence and comfort

- Gradually building independence at your child's pace

- Supporting your child's emotional security

- Working within your parenting philosophy

While some adjustment crying may occur during any change, we guide you through gentle methods that prioritise your bond with your child, ensuring you remain present, loving and supportive whenever your child is crying.
