Yes! As meetings are carried out on video-call, I am able to work with clients from around the world.

No, CBT-I is much more than sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene refers to general advice about good sleep habits—such as reducing caffeine, keeping a regular bedtime, and avoiding screens before bed. While these tips can be helpful for general sleep improvement, there is no evidence that people with chronic insomnia have worse sleep hygiene than those without sleep problems.

CBT-I is a structured treatment specifically designed to address the underlying causes of insomnia. It includes techniques such as sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation strategies—targeting the thoughts, behaviours, and patterns that keep insomnia going. Unlike sleep hygiene, which is often given as generic advice, CBT-I is an active, short-term therapy that has been proven to work for persistent sleep difficulties.

Yes, you can still take sleep medication while undergoing CBT-I. Many people start CBT-I while using sleep aids, and the treatment can be effective regardless. However, CBT-I is designed to help you improve your sleep naturally, so if your goal is to reduce or stop taking medication, we can incorporate that into your treatment plan.

If you are considering any changes to your medication, it’s important to discuss this with your prescribing doctor. The focus of CBT-I is to develop long-term strategies for better sleep, whether or not you choose to continue using sleep medication.

As a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural therapist, I receive regular supervision from an experienced CBT supervisor. This ensures that my practice remains effective, ethical, and aligned with the highest professional standards. Supervision provides a space to reflect on cases, stay up to date with best practices, and continuously refine my approach to delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).

Sessions last approximately 60 minutes and costs £90 for UK clients and £100 for international clients.
