I help adults experiencing persistent sleep difficulties improve their sleep and regain greater confidence in their ability to sleep well. My approach integrates CBT-I principles and techniques with elements of ACT-I, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy. The work may focus on difficulties falling asleep, night-time awakenings, early morning awakenings, and worry or concern related to sleep. I completed specialist CBT-I training with Dr Jason Ellis at The Sleep Consultancy Ltd and training in ACT based on the model developed by Dr Steven Hayes. I am also a qualified Level 5 Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist. My approach is practical and compassionate, focused on real, lasting change.
