When a seemingly endless bout of insomnia strikes, sleep hypnosis in London, online or in Hampshire can help.
We all want deep sleep when we go to bed. We’re prepared to accept the occasional restless night after a drink or two too many, but isn’t sleep supposed to be our friend? Sleep is a lifelong ‘constant’ that we’re supposed to be able to rely on – not fear because it has become elusive.
Sleep disorders wreak havoc with people’s lives. When you can’t fall asleep, it can lead to a host of other symptoms – both emotional and physical. These include stress, anxiety, pain and mental health issues like depression – and that’s not to mention things like danger when operating machinery.
Poor sleep can leave you feeling ratty and irritable – and when it persists (chronic insomnia), it can start to affect relationships, careers and family life. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely recognised that you need help with your sleep disorder; you’ve had enough of sleeping pills and you’re determined to get better sleep. Hypnotherapy for insomnia can help.
I look forward to helping you be calmer and more relaxed.

In the 10 years that have passed since I started practising clinical hypnosis, I have treated many hundreds of people with sleep disturbances or sleep disorders of some kind. They usually come to me when they feel like they can take no more.
When they've had yet another night of trying to will themselves to sleep – only to find themselves in that nightmarish, half-awake 'Twilight Zone' once again – they decide that enough is enough.
On this page, you'll find more information about insomnia and how sleep hypnosis can help – and how treatment can be very fact-acting, too. Success can often be achieved in just one or two sessions, and many clients who have tried it tell me that it's the best sleep medicine there is.
You can see me at my London hypnotherapy clinic, at my practice in Winchester, or I also offer one-to-one online sleep hypnosis sessions – which are proving to be very popular, post-pandemic. It's done over Zoom or Skype, and is arguably the easy way to begin treatment. I now have enough of these to state conclusively that online hypnotherapy is every bit as effective as face-to-face treatment.
I know how horrible it is to find yourself at a complete loss because of a new or recurring inability to fall asleep. And with the current cost of living crisis affecting us all, I'm currently offering 10% off my standard insomnia hypnotherapy fees to all new clients.
I also offer a FREE, no-obligation 20-minute consultation before working with you – it's a great way for you to discover more about how sleep hypnosis and other hypnotherapeutic methods that I use can help you.
Please get in touch today if you'd like to know more, or would like to book our free consultation. I'll also send you a free, one-hour deep relaxation download that I used to sell for £17.99.
I look forward to helping you with your insomnia.

Despite what you might sometimes feel, we all have the ability to sleep. Most of us are actually born naturally good sleepers; you only have to look at young children to know that.
But either an event, a sequence of events and/or lifestyle choices such as drugs or too much alcohol can seriously impact our ability to sleep. Insomnia doesn’t just spontaneously occur without a reason – even though you might not fully realise what that reason is.
You'll know that you suffer from insomnia if:
The NHS website states that "most people experience problems with sleep in their life." It becomes an issue, though, when it lingers and starts to affect your life. Sleeping problems that last longer than three months are known as chronic insomnia.
When bedtime becomes a persistent issue, people often seek out help of some kind – be that meditation, medication, improving their 'going to bed' routine (sleep hygiene) or trying to 'drink' their way to sleep with a large glass of wine. This rarely works, however, because alcohol tends to interrupt the important REM phase of sleep.
The net result of all this sleep deprivation is irritability – and more worry about sleeping. It can quickly become a vicious circle.
When you book sleep hypnosis treatment with me, my goal is to help you break through those events that have disrupted your sleep patterns. These are often centred around stress and anxiety – even though you may not realise the severity of the strain you are under.
Hypnosis can help to physically and mentally relax you at a very deep level. The relaxation techniques I use enable your body and mind to feel better prepared to fall into a deep sleep when you go to bed. Effectively, we can help turn your sleep switch back on.
What has happened is that your sleep switch is probably either off right now, or is turned down very low. We will work together to give you some powerful new sleep techniques and new positive routines. Doing these before bedtime can make a world of difference.
Willpower is often a great thing in many situations, but for helping you to get to sleep that's not really the case. Just ask yourself how many times have you willed yourself to sleep when tossing and turning.
When you’re in bed trying to sleep, all you're thinking about is sleep. And also about how much shorter your window of opportunity for getting enough sleep is becoming with every passing minute.
These worries keep us awake – and so that cycle mentioned earlier begins. Using NLP and hypnotherapy for insomnia, it’s possible to break the cycle and make good sleep a normal, everyday thing all over again.
NLP and hypnotherapy also work to help minimise anxiety – which, as stated, is one of the main reasons why people suffer from insomnia. The psychological law of ‘reciprocal inhibition’ dictates that if you are calm and relaxed, you can’t be anxious.
Being calm, then, is the bedrock of a good night’s sleep – and as a trained clinical hypnotherapist, I can help you to find the inner calm you need that leads to better sleep outcomes.
The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes. Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your history and patterns of sleep disturbances. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan.
Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques designed to address memories and emotions and generate new outcomes.
Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step to become less stressed about bedtime. My highly professional approach means that, in most cases, you'll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to see improvement.
Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute 'therapy hour' that most therapists provide.
