Let's face it. You've probably tried a lot of things to improve your sleep. Maybe you've practised mindfulness, read self-help books, tried melatonin or prescribed sleep medication, or searched for yet another solution online. Some things may have helped for a while, but sleep still feels like a struggle. You may find yourself feeling exhausted during the day, worrying about the night ahead, or dreading the moment you get into bed.

It doesn't have to stay this way!

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for chronic insomnia, supported by extensive research on its effectiveness and safety. Having completed CBT-I training through the University of Pennsylvania, I aim to help clients understand the patterns that may be keeping their sleep difficulties going and develop practical, sustainable ways to improve their sleep.

My approach draws on CBT-I and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-informed principles, including ACT-informed approaches to insomnia. Alongside making meaningful changes to sleep-related behaviours and routines, we can work on changing how you respond to sleep-related thoughts, emotions, and the frustration that often comes with sleepless nights. The goal isn't to force yourself to sleep or turn bedtime into another task to get right. It's to help you step out of the struggle with sleep and build a more flexible, less stressful relationship with it.

I believe that support should be collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. Together, we can work towards more restful nights, better daytime functioning, and greater confidence in your ability to navigate the ups and downs of sleep.

Let's start working towards a better relationship with sleep — so that bedtime can become less of a battle and more of a natural part of your life.
