What Are Sleep Problems & Insomnia?

Sleep problems include difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, waking too early, or not feeling rested after sleep. Chronic insomnia is a persistent sleep disorder that can negatively impact mental health, daily functioning, and overall well‑being. Effective therapy targets not just symptoms but the underlying causes of disrupted sleep patterns.

Online Sleep Counselling & Therapy for Better Sleep

Professional sleep counselling offers personalized, evidence-based support delivered online to help improve sleep quality, restore natural sleep cycles, and enhance overall well-being.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I):

    CBT-I is considered the gold standard treatment for sleep problems. It helps challenge unhelpful thoughts about sleep and introduces behavioural techniques like stimulus control and sleep scheduling to build healthier sleep patterns.

  • Relaxation & Mindfulness Techniques:

    Guided relaxation, deep breathing, and mindfulness practices calm the nervous system, reduce bedtime anxiety, and make it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep naturally.

  • Sleep Hygiene & Lifestyle Adjustments:

    Therapists help improve sleep routines by optimizing the sleep environment, limiting stimulants at night, reducing screen exposure, and establishing consistent bedtime habits.

  • Personalized Sleep Therapy Plans:

    Each counselling plan is tailored to individual sleep challenges, focusing on long-term improvement rather than temporary fixes.
