You’re exhausted, but wired. Your body feels ready for sleep, but your mind keeps going.
Intrusive thoughts loop. Worry creeps in. The harder you try to sleep, the further away sleep feels. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And nothing is wrong with you.
Most people I work with have already tried everything. Routines. Apps. Supplements. Forcing earlier bedtimes. Tracking sleep. Analysing every bad night. All of it adds pressure. And pressure keeps the nervous system alert. Sleep doesn’t return through effort. It returns when the system feels safe enough to let go.
Because you already know how to sleep. All we need to do now…is focus on removing what’s in the way.
A Science-Based Approach to Better Sleep
Safety First…
Contrary to what you might’ve heard, true sleep and anxiety transformation does NOT begin with rules or restriction. It begins by calming the nervous system and reducing fear around sleep itself.
Because you don’t actually have a fear of sleep. You have a fear of not sleeping.
I work with adults worldwide who struggle with insomnia and poor sleep.
I combine three evidence-based approaches:
CBT-I – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. A structured approach that targets the thoughts, bahaviours, and habits that keep sleep stuck.
CBH – Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy. Modern hypnosis applied to anxiety and sleep difficulties to calm the nervous system directly.
ACT-I – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Insomnia. A practical approach that changes how you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings at night.
With me, there’s no expectation of perfect nights. No forcing outcomes. We’ll move at a pace your system can tolerate, because safety always comes first.
Anxiety When Going To Bed?
Breaking the Cycle of Insomnia. Gently.
Insomnia often becomes a self-reinforcing cycle.
Poor sleep leads to worry → Worry leads to alertness → Alertness keeps sleep away → Poor sleep leads to worry…
…The cycle can go on infinitely. To break it, we mustn’t try to smash it. We need to loosen it.
Step by step, we’ll work on the thoughts, habits, and behaviours keeping the cycle going, while reducing the fear that fuels it. Over time, sleep will stop feeling like a problem to solve and start becoming…unremarkable again. Something that just…happens. Something you’ve always done, and will always do without even thinking about it.
Preparing the Mind for Rest
How To Help Sleep Anxiety
For most people, insomnia doesn’t exist in isolation. The same nervous system that stays alert at night often runs on high during the day. Racing thoughts, and constant vigilance don’t magically switch off at bedtime. My work focuses on calming the anxious system that keeps sleep stuck, wherever it shows up.
My approach is for you if insomnia feels tied to anxiety, stress, or a nervous system that struggles to switch off, including:
- Racing thoughts or tension that keep you awake
- Ongoing stress or burnout that follows you into the night
- Low mood where poor sleep and emotional wellbeing feed into one another
- Frequent night-time alertness
- Chronic pain conditions that make rest difficult
- Hormonal changes that affect sleep
If you’re unsure whether this fits your situation, we can talk it through together.
Eliminate anxiety when going to bed. For good this time.
Ways We Can Work Together
Calm Mind Hour
(60 mins)
A one-off session for stress, or racing thoughts that don’t always centre on sleep. This is a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and leave with practical ways to feel more grounded. It can be helpful if your mind feels constantly “on”, or if mental overload shows up during the day as well as at night.
Sleep Jumpstart
(90 mins)
A single, focused 90-minute session designed to give you clarity around what’s keeping your sleep stuck, and simple tools you can start using straight away. This is a good place to begin if your sleep difficulties are recent, or if you want guidance without committing to a longer programme.
Complete Sleep Reset
(6 sessions)
A structured, 6-week programme combining CBT-I, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, and ACT-I based strategies to address insomnia at its roots. This programme focuses on breaking the sleep anxiety cycle gently, rebuilding sleep confidence, and helping healthy sleep patterns return naturally.
Complete Sleep Reset Plus
(6 sessions + extra support)
A more supported version of the Complete Sleep Reset, with added accountability, real-time support, follow-up sessions, and a personalised integration plan to help maintain progress. This option suits those who want closer guidance as they work through the insomnia recovery process.

- Evidence My approach draws on CBT-I, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, and ACT-I strategies: Well-established evidence-based methods that we use in a calm and practical way.

- Pace There are no strict rules to follow and no expectation to “get it right”. We adjust based on how your system responds, so progress is manageable, not overwhelming.
