Services
Sleep Diary Assessment
A two-week sleep diary helps identify disruptive patterns and triggers for insomnia. This foundational step provides insights into sleep-wake cycles, lifestyle factors, and anxiety patterns affecting rest. The data collected informs the development of targeted interventions during subsequent consultations.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Specialised CBT techniques address negative thought patterns and behaviours maintaining insomnia. Sessions focus on cognitive restructuring, relaxation training, and mindfulness to reduce sleep-related anxiety. This evidence-based approach forms the core of our treatment program.
Sleep Hygiene Education
Practical guidance on creating optimal sleep conditions through environmental adjustments and routine modifications. Covers temperature control, light management, and pre-sleep rituals to promote natural sleep onset and maintenance.
Anxiety Management
Targeted strategies address anxiety that perpetuates sleep difficulties. Techniques include progressive muscle relaxation, mindfulness meditation, and cognitive restructuring to break the cycle of worry about sleep performance.
Circadian Rhythm Treatment
Specialised interventions for circadian rhythm disorders including advanced/delayed sleep phase syndromes and shift work adjustment. Combines light therapy, timed melatonin administration, and behavioural scheduling to realign natural sleep patterns.
