How are you Sleeping?
Do you wake feeling refreshed, ready for the day?
For so many of my clients, the answer to this question is 'no'. One of the first questions we address in our sessions is how to have better sleep.
Good quality and quantity of sleep is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. When your nights get better, you will also see improvements in these areas:-
Energy levels
Focus
Decision making and memory
Nutrition and weight management
Creativity
Anxiety and depression
Brain fog
Pain
If sometimes (or even always) you find it difficult to get to nod off, and wake often in the night, and then toss and turn until morning, you need to make some changes.
Especially if, when the alarm goes off, and it feels as though you haven't slept at all.
If this is you, you may also be experiencing feelings of anxiety, lack of confidence and focus, and brain fog. There could well be an impact on your relationships, and your work. These are all symptoms of sleep deprivation and insomnia.
Surprisingly, the most effective changes for night time sleep are those that we make to our daytime activities. This is what I address in my Seven Days to Better Sleep program, which you can see more of later in this article.
Essential for Health
Sleep deprivation, even over a short period, is now known to have serious physical as well as psychological effects, including making diseases such as cancer and diabetes more likely.
Lack of sleep has also been implicated in the rise in cases of Alzheimers disease.
Many of us don’t get the amount or the quality of shut-eye that we need for optimum health, and for some it’s been going on for so long that tiredness is ‘normal’.
Late nights, burning the candle at both ends, shift work, exams, children - can all lead to a wakeful night that results in less than optimal days.
Hypnotherapy for Better Sleep - a bespoke solution
If you are not getting enough, or good quality sleep, hypnotherapy can help.
I've seen clients transform almost overnight when sleep has improved.
Hypnosis is a fabulous tool for resetting the circadian rhythms that we need to be able to live life to the full.
When you choose to work with me, I'll create a program of solution focused work plus hypnosis, to embed the habits for a lifetime of good sleep.
Hypnosis reduces anxiety, and because the trance state is similar to REM (dream) sleep, it also leaves you feeling refreshed and calm.
When sleep improves, we often see a fast and remarkable improvement in levels of anxiety, memory, creativity and performance.
Book now to begin
A block of 4 sessions with me is a great way to get you back on track.
During this time together we can explore your personal sleep patterns, and look at the science behind sleep as it relates specifically to you. Using hypnosis, we'll create new, lasting habits for optimal wellness.
You'll feel calmer, more confident, and more in control of your responses as a result.
Working one to one means that we'll also tackle any underlying issues that may be preventing you sleeping. This works just as well online as in person.
Seven Days to Better Sleep
Seven Days to Better Sleep is my own mini sleep program. I've developed this program based on years of experience working with clients with poor sleep. In addition, I've included the most up to date scientific research so that all the information you receive is as relevant as it possibly can be.

We'll also discuss hot topics such as napping, jet lag, menopause, and teenage sleep patterns. In addition, I'll share information about the role of exercise, temperature and how to get your lighting optimised!
