It is important to check your sleeping, because it is hard to do well with poor sleep.
With my considerable life experience as well as my background in management, HR, careers coaching as well as psychology, I can help you with both your personal and work concerns. Setting goals and practicing good self care will be my starting points for you. Because it is hard to function well if your sleeping is poor, checking that out as well as your exercising and eating habits will be important. If you are unhappy at work, facing redundancy, looking for a career change, needing help with applications and interviews, wanting to upskill or reskill, I can be of assistance here too.

I specialise in relationship difficulties, trauma, performance anxiety & insomnia.
Vulnerability, confusion and anxiety can be present when arriving at cross roads in life. These feelings can arise through dilemmas as to how, why and where a solution can be found. Not knowing whom to seek can also bring about feelings of isolation and fear. The desire to confide in someone who is trustworthy and willing to understand can sometimes make the difference between that of a professional or of others. My practice is one of compassion, empathy, and willingness to listen, without judgement, all in the pursuit of developing a supportive relationship. My belief that together, change can happen!

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
