Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in Tamworth

Deciding upon counselling-or even asking for help is not an easy step to take. When you feel ready to take that first step, I will help you take time out, by creating a safe environment where you will be seen, heard and can talk things through at your own pace. This really can make all the difference. You will find yourself in a warm, confidential and non-judgemental setting where we can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences, especially those that may feel too difficult to share with friends or family. Your 50 minute session is personalised to meet your needs and focuses on what you would like to discuss.

Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or disconnected from yourself, even if things appear fine on the outside. I work with people who are experiencing stress, emotional tension, or a sense of being stuck, and are looking for a deeper, more embodied way of understanding themselves. Somatic psychotherapy supports you to slow down, reconnect with your body and begin to gently shift patterns that no longer serve you.

I am particularly passionate about working with trauma survivors and helping them navigate through flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, fear, despair, anger, guilt, shame, and insomnia with a focus on building strength and resilience.
People with complex PTSD avoid seeking help due to the fear of having to relive painful past experiences. As a practitioner with profound interest in PTSD, I understand this concern deeply which is why I use a highly compassionate and structured 3-phase trauma model that focuses on establishing safety & stability before delving into distressing memories.

If anxiety and depression are getting in the way of you living your life the way you want to, we can work together to change that. We can often feel low when life isn’t going as planned or anxious and overwhelmed when we are struggling to cope. This is why I created ‘The Calm Clinic with Libby Thompson’, to provide people with a safe, comfortable space to be open about their stresses and worries, feel heard and validated whilst discussing strategies and techniques that may be helpful. Therapy is a partnership, a joint journey, and my aim is to provide you with the individual support you need to make positive changes.

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.
