Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in Buckingham
Finding the right therapist for yourself can be an overwhelming and often scary task. Therefore, I believe it is very important to me that you have a comfortable, safe, and non-judgemental environment for you to feel able to express whatever it is that is troubling you. It's important that you are listened to and that you feel understood in how unique experiences through life have led you to where you are today. It's also very important that you feel confident that we can work as a team together to help you overcome your current difficulties and aid you on your journey to recovery and reaching your goals.

Have you spent so long looking after everyone else that you've stopped checking in with yourself?

There was a time when I sat where you may be sitting now, wondering whether counselling could help. When I first sought therapy, I was struggling with work pressures, relationships and uncertainty about the future. What I found was a safe space to be heard without judgement, and that experience eventually led me to become a counsellor. Today, I offer a warm, confidential space for clients to explore life's challenges. I am also a practising supervisor. While I work with adults of all ages, I particularly enjoy working with young people, whose resilience and potential give me hope for the future.

You may be here because of a difficult past. Perhaps your childhood left you feeling hurt, or you’ve always felt like you don’t quite fit in. Maybe you find yourself overcompensating in social situations, questioning your worth, or wondering what’s “wrong” with you. Do you often feel anxious, struggle to relax around others, or experience emotions like anger, jealousy, or sadness without fully understanding why?

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.
