Hypnotherapy for Sleep Difficulties
Poor sleep can leave you drained and low. Hypnotherapy may help you unwind, quieten a busy mind and build a calmer bedtime routine.
Hypnotherapy may help with this, but I do not claim it cures medical conditions. We will always talk through whether it is a suitable approach for you.
When sleep goes wrong
Poor sleep can leave you drained, irritable and low. Some people struggle to fall asleep because their mind will not switch off. Others wake in the night, or wake early and cannot settle again. Worrying about sleep can then make it harder still.
How hypnotherapy may help
Hypnotherapy may help you unwind, quieten a busy mind and build a calmer bedtime routine. Deep relaxation is a central part of hypnosis, and many people find the techniques they learn can be practised at home, so that you have something to turn to on difficult nights.
Looking at the whole picture
Sleep problems often have more than one cause, such as stress, anxiety, low mood, pain, medication, shift work or caffeine. At your consultation we talk about your sleep pattern, what you have tried and what else is going on. If your sleep difficulty is long-standing or linked to a medical condition, I may suggest you also speak to your GP.
A note on safety
Sessions involve deep relaxation, so please do not drive or operate heavy machinery during sessions. Online sessions can be a comfortable way to have therapy, as you are already at home in a familiar place.
Common questions
Will hypnotherapy help me sleep straight away?
Some people notice change quickly and others take longer. Results vary, and we will agree a plan together at your consultation.
Can I have a session in the evening?
Appointments are online on Thursdays, and you can request a morning, afternoon or evening time when you book.
What to expect
Sessions take place online by secure video, on Thursdays, and last around 45 to 55 minutes. Your first consultation is free and confidential. We talk through what brings you to therapy and whether hypnotherapy is right for you. You stay awake, aware and in control throughout.
