Improving Your Sleep
Does the word “sleep” cause your heart to jump? Do you spend your day worrying about the sleep you’re hoping to get that evening? If you’ve answered yes to either or both of these questions, then this 6- week virtual group may be for you!
Ask yourself, do you want to:
Trust sleep again?
Fall asleep easier?
Stay asleep?
Wake up feeling refreshed?
Switch off your racing mind?
If you've answered yes... read on.
A little about me:
I have been supporting people with Insomnia for 20 years! I don't know where the time has gone, but I have completed research, written workbooks, taught clinicians, delivered key notes, written curriculums and contributed to Quality Standards. With a PhD in Insomnia, a Masters in Health Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, I know how important sleep is... to everything and everyone.
Sleep Health
Sleep health encompasses three key dimensions: sleep quantity, sleep quality, and sleep consistency. When any of these aspects are compromised, our sleep health suffers, increasing our vulnerability to a range of health and well-being issues.
I support people with insomnia who struggle to get quality sleep, to overcome sleep challenges using evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and achieve the sleep they need for improved overall well-being. After all, sleep is an indispensable pillar of well-being, a fundamental building block for achieving and maintaining optimal health.
What is CBT-I?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the Gold Standard, Evidence Based, First Line treatment for Insomnia. It is a safe, long-lasting, drug-free, research-based treatment to help people overcome chronic insomnia.
CBT-I consists of techniques to address the factors that can disrupt sleep regulation systems and cause and reinforce inefficient sleep patterns.
In this program I will walk you through:
The insomnia formulation
Getting back on track with sleep efficiency by sleep tracking.
Sleep restriction / sleep compression. Designing individualized sleep plans.
Stimulus control - rebuilding your relationship with sleep.
How to better 'switch off your mind'. Cognitive therapy .
The role of sleep medicines.
