Insomnia Therapy & Counselling

Insomnia is a difficulty in getting to sleep, or getting enough sleep.

Sleep is something everybody needs.

It plays a vital role in both our physical and mental health.

This is because when we sleep our body heals and repairs itself and processes the day’s experiences.

Sleep allows our brain to process the information collected through the day and if we are deprived of sleep we can suffer real physical problems.

Indeed, sleep deprivation has been used as an effective means of torture leading to a loss of reality and hallucinations.

As well as making you feel tired, the lack of sleep can lead to physical illness and increase your risk of heart disease and obesity.

Mentally, not getting enough sleep can lead to anxiety and can make it hard for you to concentrate.

Common Symptoms of Insomnia

  • Fatigue or Chronic Fatigue
  • Low levels of concentration
  • Difficulty thinking clearly
  • Irritability
  • Excessive sleepiness
  • Anxiety
  • Depression

Why is Sleep Important?

If you are experiencing prolonged periods of disrupted sleep or getting no sleep at all, the damage may affect you instantly or over time.

For example, if you are lacking in sleep but need to drive, your low levels of concentration could result in an accident.

Alternatively, over time the damage can lead to many chronic health conditions.

A prolonged lack of sleep can increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.

Sleep is also important in your ability to learn. It helps your creativity and improves your problem-solving skills.

When sleeping problems develop, these abilities are hindered.

Over time this can make daily activities difficult, impacting your relationships and working life.

Therapy & Counselling for Insomnia

We offer a number of different types of therapy and counselling for Insomnia and sleep-related problems.

Choosing the most suitable therapy depends on a number of different considerations including factors such as:

  • How long you have had the problem.
  • Your personal preferences.
  • How your problem is affecting you today.

You can read more about the different types of therapy for Insomnia on the following links:

Although all therapies use slightly different approaches, the one thing they all have in common is the relationship that is formed between the client and therapist.

Furthermore, research also suggests that therapy relationship may be the most important factor in achieving a good therapy outcome.
