How I can help you…

Rest assured you are in safe hands.

I am a:

  • Royal College of Occupational Therapists (RCOT) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered Occupational Therapist with over 10 years clinical experience in private and NHS mental health services.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for Insomnia (CBTi) Practitioner licensed to use Sleep Unlimited Ltd.’s REST Programme™ - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia for healthcare practitioners (CBTi is the NICE recommended first line treatment for Insomnia).

  • Certified Transformational Coach (Animas Centre for Coaching).

 

My Unique Approach

My approach goes beyond standard CBTi and sleep hygiene techniques you can find in a quick online search or with some other sleep professionals.

As an Occupational Therapist and Coach, I steer away from medical model interventions and focus on you. Through a comprehensive initial assessment I seek to understand your difficulties, strengths, needs and goals for your sleep and overall health and wellbeing. This enables me to provide your bespoke programme involving the appropriate combination of therapeutic and coaching techniques.

Sleep, whether good or bad, does not occur in isolation. Multiple physical, psychological and social factors of our daily lives all influence sleep so are considered and addressed in our ongoing work together.

I also believe education and knowledge is empowering and leads to positive and sustainable change so I will always focus on you understanding the science, evidence and processes utilised in our work together.

 

The Results

Real change takes time and dedication, however he majority of clients start to experience improvements within a few sessions. In the longer term, you will inevitably experience not only improved sleep but a positive and long term impact on your overall health, wellbeing and productivity including improved concentration, alertness, mood, memory and relationships.
