information SERVICE DETAILS

We provide sleep counselling to parents and carers of children and young people from 18 months to 18 years with additional support needs or with mental health conditions.

Young people with mental health problems regularly report sleep disturbances, which contribute to their worries: for anxiety disorders, this can be as high as 88%.

Our sleep counsellors work with families over a series of sessions. They complete an assessment then tailor a sleep programme around each child they support, using behavioural techniques.

All our sleep counselling services are free.

Sleep counsellors are trained by Sleep Scotland, but don’t work for us.

We are currently receiving funding from Edinburgh City Council to offer our services directly. We invite families in these areas to self-refer for sleep counselling, a service for children and young adults with additional support needs, using our referral form at https://www.sleepscotland.org/support/sleep-counselling/whats-available-in-my-area.

Parents/carers of children living in Scotland who do not have a diagnosed additional support need can access advice through our Sleep Support Line at sleepsupport@sleepscotland.org.

Sleep counsellors often have waiting lists, and there may be a delay before they’re able to start work with you. If this is the case, families living in Scotland can also contact our Sleep Support Line by emailing sleepsupport@sleepscotland.org for short-term telephone support in the meantime.
