Sleep Support for Sensitive & Neurodivergent Children & Teens
Supporting children, teens and their families with practical, personalised sleep strategies that respect every child's unique needs.
Why Neuroaffirming Sleep Support Matters
“I understand that neurodivergent children experience sleep differently. Rather than expecting children to fit traditional sleep approaches, I take time to understand their sensory needs, communication style, emotional regulation, anxiety and the wider factors influencing sleep. Together, we’ll create practical, personalised strategies that feel achievable and support your whole family.”
Are You Feeling Stuck?
If you're here, you've probably tried everything.
The bedtime routines. The reward charts. The advice to "just be consistent." Perhaps even traditional sleep training that left everyone feeling more distressed instead of more rested.
You know your child needs sleep. You just don't know why nothing seems to work.
For many families of sensitive and neurodivergent children, sleep difficulties are about far more than bedtime. Anxiety, sensory sensitivities, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, demand avoidance and nervous system differences can all play a part.
You are not failing.
You simply haven't yet found the right recipe for your child.
I'm Kathryn Stimpson, a certified sleep coach specialising in gentle, neuroaffirming sleep support. Together we'll explore what's really contributing to your child's sleep difficulties and build practical, personalised strategies that support your whole family, without forcing your child into approaches that don't fit.

My Neuroaffirming Approach to Sleep Support

Understanding Before Intervention
We'll explore what may be driving your child's sleep difficulties before considering strategies, because behaviour is communication, not something to be fixed.

Respecting Individual Needs
Every sleep plan is tailored around your child's sensory profile, communication style, strengths and challenges. What works for one child may not work for another.

Working With the Nervous System
Sleep is closely connected to regulation, anxiety and overwhelm. Together we'll work with your child's nervous system rather than trying to override it.

Practical Strategies That Feel Achievable
No unrealistic routines or overnight transformations. We'll focus on small, sustainable changes that fit into real family life.

Supporting the Whole Family
Sleep affects everyone. My goal is to reduce stress, build confidence and create lasting improvements that benefit your whole family.
How Can I Help?
Every child experiences sleep differently.
Together we'll explore what's influencing your child's sleep and create realistic strategies tailored to their strengths, sensory profile and nervous system.
I can support families with:
• Difficult bedtimes
• Sleep anxiety
• Frequent night waking
• Early waking
• Sensory challenges around sleep
• ADHD related sleep difficulties
• Autism related sleep challenges
• Emotional regulation and bedtime resistance
• Demand avoidance around routines
• Family overwhelm and exhaustion
We're not aiming for textbook perfect sleep.
We're aiming for calmer evenings, better rest and a home that feels more manageable for everyone.
Supporting More Than Sleep
Supporting neurodivergent children often means looking beyond bedtime. I can also help families navigate the practical systems surrounding sleep, wellbeing and education.
I can support with:
EHCP and school related sleep information
Sleep reports for professionals where appropriate
Liaising with schools or other professionals
Sensory and environmental recommendations
Building routines that work both at home and school
Helping families understand the factors affecting sleep
Which option is right for you?
Not every family needs the same level of support, and that's absolutely okay.
If you're unsure which service would best suit your child, book an Initial Consultation and we'll talk through your concerns together. I'll recommend the most appropriate level of support with no pressure to book anything more.

"Kathryn has helped my whole family get a better nights sleep! "
My youngest daughter was waking every 30 minutes in the night and I was so sleep deprived I could hardly function. With Kathryn's support and gentle techniques my daughter soon started sleeping through the night and I didn't need to leave her to cry either. Kathryn genuinely cares and is behind you every step of the way.
