Lisa's story
Sleep Counsellor for Children and Young People
Lisa
Educational Psychologist
With evidence-based strategies and sleep plans, Lisa helped families move from night-time disruption to restful sleep, and creating long-term positive change.
Why Lisa trained with Sleep Action
- Lisa recognised sleep deprivation in children with additional support needs and the effect it had on the whole family, school, work, and relationships
- She needed an improved understanding of sleep science to understand how cortisol levels affect melatonin production and how night-time routines influence overall sleep quality to support those families
- Lisa wanted to learn to conduct comprehensive sleep assessments and deliver effective sleep intervention strategies and advice that would be tailored to these families’ circumstances and needs
How it transformed Lisa's practice
Through structured intervention techniques learned in becoming a Sleep Counsellor, Lisa helped a family achieve a significant improvement – transforming a pattern of night-time waking and disrupted sleep into a full, restful night.
Using strategies such as gradual bedtime adjustments, sensory calming techniques, and structured routines, Lisa empowered families to create sustainable sleep habits. Lisa’s training allowed her to implement tailored sleep plans, which improved individual sleep quality and reduced stress for caregivers, leading to long-term positive outcomes.
