The anxiety toolkit
Read with intentionGood sleep is a skill you can learn.
If nights have become a battle, you're not broken — and sleeping pills aren't the only answer. CBT-I, the gold-standard treatment for insomnia, with a psychologist who gets it.
The harder you try, the worse it gets.
Sleep is one of the few things effort makes worse. You don't need to tick every box — or any box — to reach out.
- Your mind switches on the moment your head hits the pillow.
- You lie awake for hours, watching the clock and doing the maths on lost sleep.
- You wake at 3am and can't get back to sleep, no matter what you try.
- You've tried every app, supplement and "sleep hack," and nothing has stuck.
- You're foggy, irritable and flat during the day from running on empty.
- You dread bedtime, because you already know how the night will go.
- You rely on screens, scrolling or a drink to wind down — and it isn't working.
- You've been told to "just have better sleep hygiene," and it has never once helped.
Insomnia is highly treatable without medication. CBT-I helps around 4 in 5 people sleep better — often within a few weeks. You can learn to sleep well again.
CBT-I, and the science of rest.
The gold-standard for insomnia isn't a pill — it's retraining your sleep system. Your psychologist tailors it to your nights, and explains the why as you go.
CBT-I
Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia — the gold-standard, retraining your body's sleep drive and timing.
Calming the racing mind
Techniques for the 2am thought-spiral — so bed stops being the place your mind comes alive.
Wind-down & rhythm
Building a realistic wind-down routine and steady body clock that signals sleep — without rigid rules.
Treating the root
Addressing the anxiety, stress or low mood that so often sits underneath disturbed sleep.
Many people notice progress within the first few sessions. We review your goals together regularly, so you always know where therapy is heading — and you can pause or stop at any time.
Your first weeks, step by step.
No surprises, no pressure. Here's how the early sessions usually unfold.
Mostly a conversation
Your psychologist asks what's been happening and what you'd like to change. You only go as far as you're comfortable, and together you'll sketch a plan.
A sleep diary & plan
You'll track your nights for a week or two, then build a personalised CBT-I plan — small, specific changes that rebuild your sleep drive.
Reviewing together
Progress is checked against your goals, not a fixed program. Some people come for six sessions, others longer — it's always your call, made with clear information.
