Why Improving Your Sleep Hygiene and Evening Routines May Not Be Enough
It is essential to ensure that you give yourself the best possible chance to sleep well. What you eat, drink, and do in the evening is important. Are you making time to wind down before bed? Is your bedroom relaxing, or does it double as an office or storage unit with a bed? Is your bed comfortable? However, although sleep hygiene and a good evening routine are crucial, they may not be enough by themselves.
Sleep problems are rarely stand-alone. Your sleep is affected by events in your life, such as stresses, upsets, trauma, anxiety, depression, pain and ill health.
So, in addition to improving your sleep hygiene and evening and daytime routines, we will work with your conscious and unconscious mind to resolve issues contributing to your poor sleep. This will help you move on from the past and give you an effective long-term solution and better sleep. With HelpMeSleep's coaching and therapy, you should notice week-on-week improvements in your sleep.
You deserve the best possible sleep; I'm here to help you achieve it.
Your Journey to Better Sleep
Step1:
Initial Conversation
Let’s discuss what has happened and how poor sleep has affected you. This will help ensure I’m the right person to help you resolve your sleep problems. The initial chat is a free, 20-minute phone call or online conversation.
Step 2:
Your First Consultation
Before we meet, I will send you a Sleep Questionnaire and details form to complete. In our first consultation, we will explore what has been happening in your life and with your sleep, as sleep problems are rarely stand-alone.
As we review the questionnaire, I will ask you questions and make suggestions designed to help improve your sleep and well-being. I will then teach you some simple techniques to help calm your system and support your sleep.
Please remember to bring a notebook and pen to take notes.
You have the flexibility to choose the frequency and length of your appointments. Some clients prefer weekly appointments, while others opt for two sessions a week initially. As your sleep improves, you may find that longer gaps work for you. You can also choose between 60 and 90-minute consultations. The 90-minute consultations are particularly beneficial for in-depth therapy.
During our appointments, I will listen to your report on the week, and we can discuss your concerns and worries; there will be good and not-so-good days. Most of each session will be dedicated to therapy or coaching so that you can progress rather than dwell on the past. Therapy techniques may include clinical hypnotherapy, meditation, or neurolinguistic programming such as Core Transformation, all aimed at helping you overcome the issues affecting your sleep.
Please remember to bring a notebook and pen to take notes.
Step 4:
In-Between Appointments
Please feel free to text or message me once or twice between consultations to share how you're doing. I will provide support with suggestions, techniques, and recordings for you to listen to at night or during the day.
Fees
I charge £120 for a 60-minute consultation and £180 for 90 minutes.
Fees reflect the time I spend with you during each consultation, analysis following the session, supplementary research and preparation for the next session. Everyone is unique and has their preferred way of learning and making changes.
The price includes two text or message support between appointments, suggestions, new homework, reassurance and relaxing recordings and more to help you keep moving forward.
