Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia

 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i) is a talking therapy, that is recommended as the first-line treatment of both short and long term insomnia in adults of all ages. 

Often a good choice if you suffer persistent sleep problems, or you have found sleeping tablets ineffective or you have become worried about dependency or side effects. 

Unlike sleeping tablets, the effect of CBT-I treatment means better sleep is achieved after CBT-i treatment finishes and remains so for the most part going forward.

Does it work?

Yes. Numerous scientific studies have endorsed the effectiveness of CBT-i and approximately 80% of people who have received CBT-i report an improvement in their condition.

The combination of learning about sleep and why we sleep (psychoeducation) - and how our thoughts can affect sleep (cognition) - plus what behaviours need to change to help facilitate sleep, are combined to give a plan of action known as CBT-i

The 4 part programme will include:

·      Filling in a sleep diary

·      Learning about sleep 

·      Sleep scheduling. Setting a new bedtime and rising time (based on your sleep diary results)

·      Sleep compression 

·      Strategies for changing your sleep habits

·      Sleep hygiene

·      Cognitive exercise to help change negative thoughts and other sleep interrupters

The treatment plan ais available: online via webcam or face to face where possible. Total cost (online) £400.

It is time to take action and get your life back!
