Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia CBT-I
CBT-I for insomnia
If you've been lying awake for months — or years — you already know that sleep hygiene tips and warm baths don't cut it. You've probably tried them all. And you're still here, exhausted, wondering if this is just how life is now.
It doesn't have to be. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the most effective long-term treatment for insomnia — recommended by the NHS and NICE above sleeping tablets. It works by addressing the thoughts and behaviours that are keeping your sleep stuck, rather than masking the symptoms.
Most people see real, lasting change within 3–6 sessions. Not just a few better nights — a genuine shift in the way you sleep.
Initial consultation £75
Each follow up session £50
CBTi on average takes 4 - 6 sessions

Nightmare Therapy
Nightmare therapy for adults
Recurring nightmares can make you dread the night. You might find yourself staying up later and later just to delay the moment you have to close your eyes. The exhaustion compounds the anxiety, and the anxiety makes the nightmares worse.
Image Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) is a proven, non-invasive technique that helps you change the story of your nightmare — so your brain can let go of the fear and feel safe again. It's often effective within just a few sessions, and it doesn't require you to relive or process trauma in detail.

Each follow up session £50

Sleep Screening Test
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
You sleep for eight hours and wake up exhausted. Your partner says you snore — or worse, that you stop breathing. You have headaches in the morning. You fall asleep in the afternoon without meaning to. You've been told you're just tired, or that you need to lose weight. But something doesn't feel right.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING — AND HOW I CAN HELP
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is significantly underdiagnosed in the UK. It occurs when the muscles in the throat relax during sleep, causing the airway to narrow or close — interrupting breathing repeatedly throughout the night, sometimes hundreds of times. A home sleep test can identify the condition quickly and non-invasively. With 35 years of NHS sleep testing experience, I can perform and analyse your home sleep study and provide a full report for your GP.
Device is worn for two nights
Price includes 1 x 60 minutes consultation with home Sleep Test full analysis and report £240
These are posted out prior to the consultation for convenience and on line appointments are available

Menopause and Sleep
You used to sleep fine. Then the menopause started, and everything changed. Hot flushes waking you at 2am. Racing thoughts that won't stop. Lying there for hours, sweating, anxious, exhausted. And when you mention it to your GP, you're told to try to relax, or given a leaflet about sleep hygiene. You deserve better than that.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING — AND HOW I CAN HELP
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal fluctuations affect melatonin, cortisol, and body temperature regulation — all of which directly impact sleep architecture. CBT-I adapted for menopause addresses both the sleep disruption and the cognitive arousal that often accompanies it. I have specialist training from the Menopause Experts Group and have spoken nationally on sleep and menopause.

Circadian Rhythm Assessment
You've been told to just go to bed earlier. You've tried. It doesn't work. You lie there for hours, wide awake, while everyone else is asleep. Or you're falling asleep at your desk by 7pm and can't understand why. You've been called lazy, or a night owl, or told it's just a habit. It isn't.
WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING — AND HOW I CAN HELP
Circadian rhythm disorders occur when the internal body clock is misaligned with the external environment. The most common is Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder — where a person cannot fall asleep until the early hours and struggles to wake at a conventional time. This has a genuine neurological basis and doesn't respond to willpower or sleep hygiene. A 14-day actigraphy study can objectively measure your circadian pattern, and a personalised chronotherapy programme can gradually shift your body clock.
