Do you have trouble sleeping? Are you tired of lying awake at night tossing & turning? Does the thought of going to bed makes you worry? If you don't drop off when you put your head on your pillow, or you wake up during the night and can't get back to sleep for hours - then get in touch. You don't have to spend your life worrying about the toll your sleeplessness is having on your health, mood, relationships or your ability to function at work. You don't have to feel like insomnia is controlling your life. We specialise in the recommended first line treatment for insomnia, CBT for insomnia. It's drug free and effective.
I specialise in treating insomnia and sleep difficulties. Insomnia is not a mental health disorder per se. It is a problem with the human sleep wake system. Insomnia doesn't respond to standard psychotherapy and requires specialist therapy using CBT-I. I am NZ's only Board Certified Behavioral Sleep Medicine practitioner.
I get that sleep issues take a toll. Sleep problems suck. Good news is, CBT for Insomnia is very effective. More than 90% get real improvement, 50% experience complete remission. It's hard to believe you can get relief in 6-8 weeks when you've suffered for years. So reach out, let's chat.
