About Us
We are a specialist sleep clinic that assesses and treats insomnia. Our clinical staff are doctors with specialist skills in sleep medicine, who use the latest and most effective methods to get you sleeping better.
Our approach to insomnia treatment is based on cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i). This is a highly effective and evidenced based technique which is considered the gold standard treatment by the NHS, NICE, The British Sleep Society and The American Association of Sleep Medicine.
We know that everyone is different, and everybody’s sleep is different too. This is why we are pleased to offer such a personalised and individual service to each of our patients. We believe this is a much more effective approach than a one-size-fits-all online course. We also know that different people will need different levels of treatment - this is why we have no ‘standard package’ of sessions. We carry out our assessment and agree a treatment plan with you, which we can adjust as we go.
As well as providing 1:1 treatment sessions for people with poor sleep, we also train other doctors and healthcare providers in sleep medicine.
We are passionate about what we do, and how we do it. If you have any questions about us or the service we provide then please drop us an email at info@theinsomniacentre.com
