Sleep consultant Cardiff & Swansea
Overnight sleep visits and online sleep coaching support for 0-8 years
I’m based in Gower, South Wales, and for families living in Swansea and Cardiff, I’m able to provide overnight home visits. You can choose from between 1-7 nights of sleep training support where I can be with you to give you the practical advice, as well as the support you need when making changes to how you settle your child at night.
If naps are tricky and you’d like to focus on your whole routine, I can even stay with you for the day, for anything between 24-96 hours to get you on track and help you achieve the quickest results.
As well as home visits, I also offer online sleep training support if you prefer the convenience of working online. Details of my packages are below. If you’d like to find out more about working with me, book a free discovery call today. I’m looking forward to chatting!

To help you get off to the best start, I can come and give you the practical support you need over night.

We can work together during the night, or I can settle your child to allow you to get some much needed rest.

✓ Online 30 minute pre-visit consultation. We'll talk through your child’s sleep challenges and agree a plan for the first night that I’m with you.
✓ Hands on support throughout the night. I'll arrive before you start the bedtime routine to allow time for your child to become familiar with me, guide you through an optimal bedtime routine, then be there to help settle your child at the start of the night and throughout the night when they wake.
✓ Full debrief each morning, including planning the next steps.
✓ Extra hours available on request at £25 p/h.
Available within a 1 hour drive of Mumbles, Swansea. This includes Gower, Bridgend, Neath, and Cardiff. Travel charged at 55p per mile for journeys over 10 miles from SA3.
Jill, Stella’s mum
“We first contacted Louise shortly before Stella’s 2nd birthday. I’d fallen into the trap of breastfeeding her to sleep every night which worked like a charm in the early months, but got harder and harder as time rolled on.
She was waking 5 or 6 times a night and taking 15/20 minutes to fall asleep each time. Between working 4 days a week, running a house and looking after an active toddler I was at my wits end - but we never even considered letting her cry it out.
We were desperate for a kind approach and after reading about Louise online, felt sure she was ‘the one’! And we were right. Louise is a very calming presence in the home and our daughter (naturally shy around strangers) warmed to her at once. A parent whisperer as much as anything else, Louise gave my husband and I the tools and confidence to change Stella’s sleep habits in a gentle and supportive way. In just four nights, Stella slept through the night for the first time!
We’ve definitely had setbacks due to potty training, illness and growth spurts but for the most part, Stella now only wakes up once a night and is easy to settle - no boobs involved!”
Online sleep coaching packages
Even if you’re local, you may prefer to work online with me, knowing that you’ve got the option of a home visit if you need. I offer 3 online sleep packages, designed to give you exactly the level of support you need right now.
Young baby sleep shaper
0-5 months
1 hour consultation + bespoke sleep plan + 2 follow up support calls with Louise

Is your baby awake for hours at a time at night, unable to settle?
Are your days dominated by the frustration and stress of trying to get your baby to nap?
Is your baby being treated for reflux, and unable to sleep unless they are being held?
Is co-sleeping starting to feel less sustainable now that your baby is getting bigger?
For a parent, going through sleep challenges like this can have a huge knock-on affect on daily life, especially when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
With this online 1:1 coaching package, we’ll get you back on track and feeling happier and more confident about sleep. Not only will you improve sleep for now, but you’ll be establishing the habits and routines that will help build the foundations for better sleep as your child grows older.
What’s included:
✓ A 60 minute 1:1 online consultation.
✓ A recording of our consultation for you to listen back to in future.

Gold package
6 months - 8 years
1.5 hour online sleep consultation + bespoke sleep plan + 1 month of limitless telephone coaching & text support from Louise
£395
This is my most popular children’s sleep support package, giving parents access to unlimited telephone support for 1 month after their initial sleep consultation. It is perfect for parents who are about to return to work and want to do so knowing that both they and their child are going to be sleeping well.
Typical sleep issues I help with include:
Dependence on being rocked to sleep
Dependence on being fed to sleep
Frequent night waking
Transition from co-sleeping
Difficulty settling to sleep
Nap resistancnce.
This online sleep support package will give you the knowledge, confidence and support you need to help improve your child's sleep at a pace that’s right for you.
We'll start with a comprehensive review of your goals, your child's sleep challenges, and their overall health and well-being. If needed, we'll do some detective work to identify the issues that might be affecting their sleep.
With this understanding in place, I can talk you through the most appropriate and effective strategies and routines that will help you achieve your sleep goals.
Following our consultation, I'll write a bespoke sleep plan for your baby. This will include suggestions for daytime routines and activities (if appropriate), a positive bedtime routine, as well as a summary of the techniques we have discussed for helping to settle your baby to sleep at the start of the night and during the night.
Over the course of the month, I’ll be alongside you the whole way. The Gold package includes 1 month of unlimited telephone coaching and support. As a minimum, I suggest we speak at least once a week. This will give use the opportunity to discuss your progress and talk through the steps you can take in the week ahead to help you meet your sleep goals. If you want to speak more, then that’s great. The more we speak, the more support I can give you, and the quicker you’ll meet your sleep goals.
As well as unlimited telephone support, you’ll have access to daily what’s app support. I’ll be on hand to answer questions, suggest tweaks to the plan, provide you with reassurance, celebrate successes, as well as keep you going through the tougher times. I know that it’s this support that parents really value, and this is why I don’t put a limit on how many support calls or messages I provide during this time.
What’s included:
✓ Full analysis of your 3-day sleep diary and questionnaire (pre consultation)
✓ A 90 minute 1:1 consultation via Zoom.
