IN DEPTH
Sleep & Insomnia Support uses cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, evidence-based approach recommended by NICE for managing persistent sleep difficulties. The service is delivered by a qualified Occupational Therapist specialising in mental health and sleep, providing a professional, personalised programme designed to improve sleep quality and overall wellbeing.
​
CBT-I addresses the behavioural and cognitive factors that maintain insomnia, including inconsistent sleep routines, unhelpful thoughts around sleep, environmental factors and stress-related patterns. Rather than relying on medication, this therapy equips clients with practical strategies, tools and techniques to restore healthy sleep cycles and promote sustainable, long-term improvement.
​
The first session involves a comprehensive assessment of your sleep patterns, lifestyle and health history, along with the introduction of a sleep diary to track progress over the following week. Subsequent weekly sessions focus on reviewing sleep patterns, refining strategies and supporting behaviour change tailored to your individual needs.
RESULTS & TIMEFRAMES
Initial improvements may be observed within 1–2 weeks of implementing strategies. More sustained improvements, including consolidated sleep patterns and reduced insomnia symptoms, typically develop over 4–6 weeks.
Long-term success depends on adherence to the personalised plan and ongoing application of CBT-I strategies.
TREATMENT PATHWAY
Before your appointment
During your appointment
After your appoinment
Prior to your first session, you may be asked to complete a brief questionnaire about your sleep patterns, daily routine and lifestyle factors. This allows the therapist to prepare a personalised assessment and ensure the session is targeted to your needs.
The initial consultation involves a detailed review of your sleep history, behaviours and contributing factors. A personalised plan is developed, including strategies for improving sleep hygiene, modifying behaviours and addressing unhelpful thoughts. You will also be provided with a sleep diary to track sleep patterns and identify areas for intervention.
Between sessions, you are encouraged to maintain the sleep diary, apply the strategies discussed and monitor your progress. The therapist provides guidance on adjusting routines, managing setbacks and reinforcing healthy sleep behaviours. Follow-up sessions are scheduled as clinically appropriate, with an expected programme of approximately four weekly sessions, though this may be adjusted based on individual response and needs.
