About Me
Who am I?
My name is Sue Gray and I am a Sleep Coach and Therapist. I help people over come sleep problems and sleep disorders. I have trained in a wide range of coaching and theraputic tecniques. I am fully insured and am a registered therapist. My experience in helping people transform their sleep and wellbeing spans over a decade and I continue to develop my skills to help people recover their sleep, energy and wellbeing. My qualifations and organisations I am registered with are further down this page.
I am intrigued by the mysteries of sleep and love helping people untangle the knots that have led them into insomnia and poor-quality sleep. I had years of insomnia and so know from personal experience how not sleeping well impacts everything you do. And if poor sleep carries on for too long, it has a detrimental effect on our mental and physical health.
But before that, I used to sleep brilliantly. My head would touch the pillow, and I was gone until it was time to get up. I never needed an alarm - I just told myself what time to wake up. I could even wake up at 4 am and drive from London to Preston for a 10.00 meeting, even stopping off at the swimming pool in Preston for a quick 30 lengths on the way!
I live in Deal, Kent with my husband Kevin and Cocker Spaniel, Rosa. We love being by the sea and our favourite beach is Sandwich Bay. We enjoy the amazing pubs of East Kent and I also love reading, gardening and knitting
Insomnia and Ill-health
My brilliant sleep came to an abrupt end when I got ill in 2010. I had two years of suffering from debilitating health problems and chronic insomnia. I felt totally stuck, and I was told there was no solution other than to manage them.
I found a way to reclaim my health and decided it was time for a career change, so I could work fewer hours, enjoy life and take better care of myself. I decided to retrain as a coach and therapist with Dr Phil Parker to help others who were going through what I had been through. The course was incredible! Most of us had got over debilitating health conditions - some had even been bedridden or housebound.
I discovered that we can use the incredible power of the mind to influence our sleep, health and well-being

I am going to get well, even if I have to stand on my head on the top of a mountain, for six months, meditating !
Meditation Teacher
I have meditated and off for ovr 40 year and it has brought me peace, stillness and serenity. I reccently completed a 6 months Mastery of the Self Course in the Spanish mountains. It transformed my life.
And so I did end up meditating on the top of a mountain for 6 months!
I teach Ascension Meditation and help people explore its incredible benefits through weekly short courses in Deal and longer weekend courses across the UK.
I run local weekly meditation classes that help you become more aware of your thoughts and start to pay less attention to them.
