About the Practice
When a child cannot regulate at bedtime, support with connection and communication can sometimes be part of the wider sleep picture. Belinda Lydon Music Therapy Sleep and Regulation Route gives Cardiff 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.
