Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in Nantwich

Nigel Cadman
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP
I work in a person-centred manner which means that I value building a positive relationship with clients; working to create a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment. This means that I want you to feel able to talk and express yourself about anything that may be troubling you. We talk about whatever you chose, and you can do so without fear of judgement. This enables you to become more comfortable with things as you discuss your thoughts freely, giving you an opportunity to consider things from different perspectives and over time building your confidence to explore different options and possibilities that are open to you.

Hi, my name is Claire, I am passionate about helping people with a range of presenting issues such as low mood, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, trauma bonds, narcissistic relationship recovery and whatever you wish to bring into the space. We work together on a journey which is unique, and I walk alongside you as you move towards a more authentic and peaceful place. Having a non judgemental space in which to talk means that you can clear those things which feel 'stuck' without a need to reciprocate that for someone else, fostering greater personal clarity and movement.

Psychotherapist, MBABCP
Hi, I am Sophie Forbes, an accredited CBT Therapist helping adults overcome anxiety, panic and overthinking in Alsager. I give those who are burnt out from their own anxiety space to take a breath and press the pause button on their busy and often consuming minds. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can speak with someone who truly cares about you and understands how tiring and distressing living with heightened anxiety can be. If you constantly feel on edge and tense, always waiting for the next 'worst case scenario' I am here to help find a calmer version of you.

We all struggle to make sense of experiences at times, especially when our life is in transition or we have unwanted changes. Perhaps you are going through the menopause, have a new job, responsibilities or are retiring, bereaved or divorced? Change can shake our sense of who we are. Therapy with me will provide the space to think about what is important to you, what do you value and what is stopping you living the life you want? Uncertainty often brings stress and anxiety. I know how this impacts the body and mind. I can talk through calming strategies. I want you to discover your vitality and life force again .

Life can sometimes throw unexpected challenges our way, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. This might be due to anxiety, health concerns, bereavement, or difficulties at work. At times like these, having a space to talk openly and be truly heard can make a real difference.

Hi, I'm Nicola, a qualified Person-Centred counsellor. Do you experience times when things just get too much and although you may have a good network of family, friends or colleagues you just need a safe space where you can go to talk, not be judged and know that whatever is spoken about is confidential. Whatever is troubling you may stem from your childhood, a relationship, a traumatic event or something else but whatever it is, this maybe preventing you from living your life to the full. The first step can be daunting, but together we can explore your thoughts, your feelings which will enable you to gain a greater self worth.

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.
