Persistent trouble falling or staying asleep takes a toll on daytime life. We help by addressing the contributors — stress, pain and mood.
Insomnia is persistent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking far too early and being unable to drift off again. What sets it apart from the odd restless night is the daytime impact — fatigue, low mood, irritability and trouble concentrating that follow you into work and relationships.
Sleep rarely sits on its own. A racing mind, ongoing pain, low mood and disrupted routines can all feed wakefulness — and a poor night can then heighten pain and lower mood the day after. Understanding what is driving the cycle is the first step towards easing it.
If difficulty sleeping has persisted for several weeks and is affecting how you feel and function by day — leaving you lying awake at night, waking unrefreshed, or leaning on sleep aids to cope — it is worth looking at what is keeping you awake. We can help you understand the contributors and plan a calmer way forward.
Rather than reaching first for a sedative, we explore your sleep in context — your routines, stress levels, mood, pain, medical history and the medications you take. From there we build a practical, sustainable plan with you, grounded in the foundations of healthy sleep.
Structured, behavioural techniques to rebuild a healthier relationship with sleep — reviewing routines, wind-down habits and the patterns that keep you wakeful, so rest can become more reliable over time.
Calming an over-active, racing mind is often central to sleeping better. We draw on stress-reduction and mind-body approaches, and address low mood or anxiety where they are part of the picture.
Light exposure, daily rhythm, movement and the timing of meals, caffeine and alcohol all shape sleep. We help you optimise these everyday factors, with nutritional guidance where it may support better rest.
For some patients whose sleep stays disrupted despite these foundations — particularly where it is tangled up with persistent pain, anxiety or low mood — more specialised options may be carefully considered alongside your existing care.
These options may include Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and medical cannabis, both available only after careful assessment and with full clinical oversight.
