Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in Central London, London
I work with anyone struggling with depression or anxiety-related disorders such as OCD, PTSD, social anxiety etc. My specialist training is also in treating mental health issues caused by sleep problems, chronic health issues or stressors in your life (relationship problems, work pressures, big changes in your life). I also work with people who do not know what is wrong or what is causing it. Clients I work with typically want to understand what they are going through, what is causing how they feel, to have a confidential space to explore what it means and to learn practical ways to manage it better or overcome it.

Are you struggling with chronic pain or illness? You are not alone. The clients I see describe feeling trapped and like their life is being controlled by their health condition. Many feel low or anxious because of it and struggle to sleep well. It can feel like others do not understand what it is like to live with pain or illness, which can feel isolating from friends, family and colleagues. Pain and illness can impact all areas of life, including relationships, hobbies, work and day to day chores. In this position it can be difficult to see how your life can be valued and fulfilling still. This is where I can help.

Nick is a London-based and online solution-focused hypnotherapist specialising in various mental health concerns, including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, IBS symptoms, confidence issues, and weight management. Solution-focused hypnotherapy works on 'how you want to be' (future-focused), instead of 'how you don't want to be' (problem-focused), helping people to rewire the connections in their brain to create new pathways of thinking and behaviour. This helps to adopt a calmer, more measured approach to life, helps reduce and remove any negative, unwanted symptoms, and helps someone live a happier and healthier life.

As a psychotherapist, I have gained experience helping people from all over the world on issues related to anxiety, stress, low mood, low self esteem, relationships, attachment, parenting, pregnancy, anger and sleep problems.
Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

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.
