Specialist Sleep Psychotherapist. Insomnia is a 24 hour condition which erodes one’s ability to lead a fulfilling life. Most people live with insomnia for an average of ten years before seeking help. I recognize how bad things must be for you to be here. Despite the complexity of the initial cause of insomnia and its impact on your life, I offer a brief but highly effective treatment. It will demand a lot from you, but if you are determined for things to change I am here to help. I specialise in the connection between sleep issues and trauma. Trauma both as the cause of insomnia, and as the effect of living with chronic poor sleep.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is the first line treatment recommended by the NHS and NICE. Treatment addresses the unhelpful behaviours and beliefs which perpetuate your difficulties with sleep. I then use EMDR if indicated to targets the accumulated memories associated with insomnia to reduce anxiety and dread around going to sleep.

Whether your insomnia stops you from falling asleep, wakes you in the middle of the night or early hours of the morning, or prevents you from feeling rested and restored, CBT-I can support you to get the sleep you need in an average of four sessions. Please get in touch to learn more about how I can support you or your loved one.

The CBT-I programme consists usually of four sessions, with an extended initial assessment session. If your insomnia is connected to other difficulties such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD, we can tailor therapy to also treat these issues. You can expect us to make immediate changes to your behavior and beliefs around sleep to improve your insomnia from the first session.
