INSOMNIA
Hypnotherapy for Insomnia in Wantage, Oxfordshire
You get into bed exhausted. And then your brain decides it is the perfect time to replay every awkward conversation from the past decade, catastrophise about tomorrow, and remind you of all the things you have not done. Sound familiar?
Poor sleep is one of the most common things people come to me with, and it is also one of the areas where hypnotherapy can make a profound and relatively quick difference. Because the problem with sleep is rarely about sleep itself. It is about a nervous system that does not know how to switch off.
WHY YOU CANNOT SLEEP
When we are stressed, anxious, or running on empty, the brain stays in a state of low-level alert. It is doing its job, scanning for threats, trying to keep you safe. But it cannot tell the difference between a genuine emergency and the mental to-do list you are running through at midnight.
The result is a brain that will not quiet down, a body that will not relax, and a pattern that often becomes self-reinforcing. The more nights you lie awake, the more anxious you become about sleep itself, and the harder it gets.
Hypnotherapy works by communicating directly with the unconscious mind, helping to reset the nervous system, release the patterns that are keeping you alert, and build new associations between bedtime and genuine rest.
WHAT I HELP WITH
I work with a range of sleep difficulties including:
-
Difficulty falling asleep, often with a busy or racing mind
-
Waking in the early hours and being unable to get back to sleep
-
Shallow or unrefreshing sleep that leaves you exhausted regardless of hours
-
Sleep disruption linked to anxiety, stress, or burnout
-
Menopause-related sleep disturbance
-
A longstanding pattern of poor sleep that has become your normal
WHAT TO EXPECT
Sessions are available in person in Wantage, Oxfordshire, and online via Zoom. As part of our work together, I create a personalised sleep hypnotherapy recording for you to listen to each evening. This is one of the most powerful tools I offer. Listened to consistently, it helps retrain the brain and nervous system over time, building a new relationship with sleep that does not depend on everything else in your life being perfect.
Most clients begin to notice a change in their sleep within the first couple of weeks of listening. By the time we have worked together for a few sessions, the shift is usually significant.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Sleep difficulties linked to stress or anxiety typically respond well within four to eight sessions, particularly when clients are consistent with their evening recording. Where sleep problems are part of a broader picture of anxiety or burnout, a slightly longer course of work may be beneficial, addressing the root as well as the symptom.
We will talk through what feels right for you at your free discovery call.
INVESTMENT
Hypnotherapy sessions are £95 each when booked as a block of three or more, or £135 for a single session. For anxiety work, a block is usually the most effective and most cost-efficient way to begin.
All new clients start with a free 30-minute discovery call.
