Fall asleep more easily, sleep more deeply and wake up feeling human again. In person in central London or online.
You are exhausted, yet the moment your head hits the pillow your mind switches on. Or you drop off fine, only to wake at 3am with your thoughts racing, watching the clock as the hours slip away. The next day you are foggy, short-tempered and running on caffeine, and by evening you are already dreading the night ahead.
Sleep is not something you can force, which is why trying harder never works. It happens when your body feels safe enough to let go. Hypnotherapy teaches your nervous system how to do that again, so sleep becomes something that happens naturally rather than something you fight for.
Long-term insomnia keeps itself going: stress keeps your body on alert, your bed becomes linked with frustration, and the fear of another bad night makes relaxing even harder. Hypnotherapy breaks that cycle by:
A systematic review of 24 studies found that the majority reported benefits of hypnosis for sleep (Chamine et al., 2018). Research is still growing, and hypnotherapy works well alongside other approaches such as CBT for insomnia, especially where stress or a racing mind is keeping you awake. You can read more in my article on why you cannot sleep and how to fix it at the source.
1. A free 15-minute call. We talk about your sleep and what you would like to change.
2. Your first session. We look at your sleep pattern, evening routine and what keeps you awake, and you experience your first hypnosis session.
3. A focused course of sessions. Long-standing insomnia usually benefits from six to twelve sessions, with recordings and self-hypnosis to use at bedtime, so your sleep keeps improving between sessions.
If your sleep problems come with loud snoring, gasping in your sleep or persistent low mood, please also see your GP.
I see clients in person at Islington Therapy House, 364 City Road, London EC1V 2PY, about a five-minute walk from Angel station and within easy reach of Old Street, King’s Cross and the City. I also work online via Zoom with clients across London, the rest of the UK and abroad. Online sessions follow exactly the same structure as in-person sessions, and many clients find it easier to relax at home.
