BESPOKE SLEEP THERAPY

If your mind won’t switch off at night, you’re not alone.

Many high-functioning people find that, just as the day ends, their mind becomes more active - replaying conversations, planning ahead, or simply unable to settle.

I offer sleep therapy for insomnia and disrupted sleep, combining CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) with a broader understanding of burnout, stress, and nervous system regulation.

Sleep is the body’s natural way of restoring and recharging—essential for both physical health and mental wellbeing.

CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is a proven, drug-free way to overcome long-term sleep problems. Instead of masking symptoms, CBT-I helps you retrain your mind and body for natural, refreshing sleep.

IMPROVING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SLEEP

All of us have the occasional bad night or periods of poor sleep, but living with this long term is debilitating.

Poor sleep can quietly erode confidence and affect daily functioning. If persistent wakefulness or broken sleep is becoming a concern, you are not alone. As a psychotherapist and life coach specialising in confidence and burnout, this is a common theme in my work. I draw on CBT-I and compassion to provide discreet, tailored support.

Approximately 30% to 37% of adults in the UK experience poor sleep quality or insomnia. Globally, between 10% and 30% of the adult population is affected by chronic sleep issues. Furthermore, over 70% of UK adults do not meet the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep nightly, with many reporting significant impacts on mental health and daily function. 

The GOOD NEWS is that effective, evidence-based approaches are available. I am trained by Oxford University in CBT-I (cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia), a structured programme for addressing insomnia and related sleep difficulties. While CBT-I is highly effective, it can sometimes feel overly rigid. I therefore integrate it with my wider psychotherapeutic and coaching expertise, allowing us to take account of emotional, physical, and contextual factors and develop a tailored approach that is both effective and compassionate.
