About the Practice
When sleep has collapsed across the whole house, parents need more than a bedtime chart. Seashell Trust Virtual Sleep Support gives Manchester families a route into sleep support when broken nights are affecting school, work, mood and family life. The focus is practical parent-facing support, with clear attention to SEND, neurodivergence and the limits of non-emergency sleep advice.
Clinical Expertise
Settling, bedtime routines, night waking, sleep deprivation, sleep habits and additional-needs sleep challenges
Learning disability, neurodivergence and additional needs sleep support
Online Sleep Success workshop and online 1:1 Sleep Clinic
Why Work With Us?
SEND Sleep Practitioner Route: Parents can see the professional route behind the sleep advice, including sleep training, clinical background or SEND experience where available.
Workshop or 1:1 Sleep Clinic: The support is framed around what families can actually try at home, including routines, sleep diaries, parent guidance, written plans or follow-up where offered.
Sleep and Safety Boundaries: Seashell gives Manchester families a practical route built around neurodivergence and learning disability, with follow-up space after strategies have been tried at home.
