Support for Families with Older Children
You know they're capable of so much more but right now, can't help thinking that it really shouldn't feel this hard.
As children grow, the challenges often change and new difficulties can emerge. Evening routines become harder, emotions become bigger, anxiety develops and family life can begin to feel dominated by conflict.
Emotional outbursts, school worries, screentime conflict and behaviour that seems to come out of nowhere can leave parents feeling frustrated, worried and unsure how to help.
Behaviour is communication so we'll look beyond what you're seeing and understand why it's persisting so we can find an evidence informed path forwards, saving months of frustration and uncertainty. Based in Richmond, supporting families across London and the surrounding areas in person and online throughout the UK..
Parent Reviews
"After a particularly wakeful month and some serious online sleuthing, I booked in a discovery call. Annie was superb from start to finish! She is sensitive, sympathetic and has an innately astute way about her. I immediately liked her and felt instantly reassured. I even started to believe that my son might just be able to sleep through the night! Annie responded to all my queries and always had an answer or solution. To say it transformed my life is an understatement…even if that does sound melodramatic. It’s true and I just wish that I had sought help earlier"

“Annie is an absolute miracle worker. Her calm and gentle manner combined with extensive, expert knowledge and experience is everything an anxious, stressed-out parent needs to help them achieve sleep success with their little one. I will forever be grateful for Annie helping us to get our almost 1 year old to sleep through the night after 11 months of sleepless nights and refusal to sleep in a cot. She is truly wonderful and I couldn’t recommend her any more highly.”

“My 2 year old was having sleep issues, he was waking up 3- 4 times at night, demanding milk from a bottle, and wanting to sleep in our bed. It took him hours to sleep and he wanted my husband or I to lay by his cot or get inside the cot with him. It was an
absolute disaster, he was a good sleeper before this so it was an absolute shock and was impacting on my sleep, marriage and work.
After lots of discussion, we decided to contact Annie after a recommendation by a friend. No exaggeration, this was one of the most important and best decisions I have ever made. After the initial consult I felt reassured and confident that things could change. She put as at ease and gave us various sleep training options. We then had the remote support, she supported us through the sleep routine and stayed on the phone with us reassuring and supporting us for around 3 hours. Every day for 10 days we spoke via email and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.
My son is now sleeping through the night with no wake ups from 7.30pm - 7am! He falls asleep independently without a bottle or our presence. We know there will be blips again, this is normal, but we now have the tools and confidence. He is much happier as a result, has less tantrums and we get to have a life again in the evenings. The only regret I have is not contacting Annie sooner! Thanks Annie.”
