Many families experience sleep challenges, and it is not a reflection on you as a parent or a failing. I absolutely do not believe in bad habits or blame. I entirely feel that there is plenty of scope and opportunity to gently and sensitively encourage better sleeping tendencies from any age that you feel ready. Although you may feel alone, frustrated and vulnerable, please know that sleep issues affect up to 70% of parents at some point in their parenting career. Even if you feel that you have tried everything, my individualized approach will encourage a positive response and allow you to start to reach your sleep goals.
Just as every child is different, there are lots of different sleep tendencies and thankfully many solutions-my approach is holistic, emotionally appropriate, taking into account your individual child’s needs, temperament, your parenting style, family dynamics, alongside realistic expectations and normative sleep. My focus is to help parents become informed, enable deeper understanding, to reassure and build confidence and belief in a compassionate and non-judgmental setting that will help you during this time.

My sleep approach takes every facet of your child’s story into account, and I help inform and identify core reasons that may be affecting your child’s sleep profile. By making appropriate changes we can gently unlock their natural, inherent sleep skill set, enabling them (and you) achieve a deeper, more rested and less interrupted sleep overnight and to nap well during the day too. All this can be achieved without leaving them to cry alone. Thanks to many years’ experience assisting families, I have a proven track record of success and can’t wait to share this with you.
I will never support or endorse leaving your child alone to “cry it out” or unattended cry intensive strategies. I encourage you to use, when required, my Stay-and- Support Approach that allows you to be physically responsive, verbally reassuring and emotionally connected as you accompany your child. I will always encourage you to respond, to soothe and to calm them for the duration of their sleep learning journey and beyond…. as they begin and continue feel safe and secure in their own ability to sleep well.

What People Say
I would highly recommend her to anyone who is dealing with the sleepless nights to just pick up the phone and make that appointment with Lucy.
Our little girl was nearly 7 months when we started working with Lucy. She literally saved my sanity. I was so sleep deprived I could barely function. My partner works away and I was finding it so hard, firstly as a first time parent but also with a baby who never slept! Our girl would only sleep 45 mins at a time.
… I could find myself up to her during the night so much that I used to end up sleeping on the floor beside the cot as it was just easier that up and down all night ! I was really nervous when I rang Lucy at the start, I felt like she would think I was a bad mother for not being able to cope. Lucy was the exact opposite she was so so supportive and not once made me feel bad.
