My main specialty is in the psychological management of adults with Insomnia and sleep difficulties. I've had a special interest in the field of sleep and insomnia since 2002. I use evidence based treatments such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I will ask you to have an active role in determining your goals and the direction treatment takes. After most sessions you will be given something to read, or something to write/think about, or together we might suggest trailing a new strategy or way of approaching things. Implementing new strategies can be challenging and time will be spent in sessions helping you to find ways to approach things differently. Usually the treatment will not take a lot of time during the week but giving some time ...

Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are you wanting to get off sleeping medication (or avoid starting it in the first place), but worried you can't sleep without it? I help adults who are on their umpteenth night of crappy sleep, heal their natural sleep mechanism and finally get consistent sleep again, usually in just 6-8 weeks. [ Ready to get started right away? Book your first session or ask a question here: https://www.bodymindalliancecc.com/get-in-touch ] Clients often come to me desperate, anxious and tired. They’ve tried lots of other things already so they’re looking for an expert, not a generalist who just knows a little about sleep. They want someone who can take their unique health and sleep challenges into acc ...
