Start Your Insomnia Treatment
We offer two options for insomnia support: doctor-led or therapist-led, which are delivered by video call.
Both approaches are evidence-based and focused on improving your sleep through CBTi. You simply choose the level of support that feels right for you. Most people start with an initial assessment. During this session, we’ll review your sleep history and discuss a personalised treatment plan.
Some people choose to continue with follow-up sessions, while others book further appointments as and when they feel they need them. In practice, many people find that 2–3 sessions in total, including the initial assessment, provides enough time to apply CBTi strategies and review progress. If you choose a combo bundle, one follow-up session is already included. Any additional follow-ups can be booked later if needed.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) is an evidence-based, behavioural approach that helps improve sleep by exploring how your thoughts, habits, and routines affect your nights.
CBTi teaches practical techniques that can help you fall asleep more easily, reduce time awake during the night, and rebuild a more consistent sleep pattern.
It is supported by a strong research base and is recommended by NHS and international sleep organisations as the leading behavioural method for improving sleep.
CBTi includes a number of components that can be tailored to your individual sleep situation, such as:
Sleep Education
Understanding how sleep works and what naturally regulates it helps make CBTi strategies more effective. This knowledge gives you practical tools to navigate sleep difficulties when they arise and helps you feel more confident in your sleep routine.
Rebuilding the Link With Sleep
This part of CBTi focuses on strengthening the natural cues that help sleep develop.
By learning what supports healthy sleep timing and what can disrupt it, you’ll be able to rebuild a stronger, more reliable link with sleep so it comes more naturally.
Improving Sleep Efficiency
Many people experiencing sleepless nights spend long periods awake in bed.
CBTi includes structured strategies to help you adjust your sleep schedule and rebuild a more consistent pattern. These approaches support better sleep efficiency, meaning a stronger connection between going to bed and falling asleep.
Managing Anxious Thoughts About Sleep
Sleep difficulties often become stressful over time, and it’s common for worries about sleep to make nights feel harder. CBTi includes practical tools to help you change the way you respond to these thoughts and reduce the pressure that can build around bedtime.
This can make your nights feel calmer and more manageable.
