Frequently asked questions
CBT is a structured, evidence-based form of talking therapy that helps you identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is proven to be effective for anxiety, depression, insomnia, low self-esteem, and more.
CBT can help with a wide range of emotional and psychological issues, including:
Anxiety and overthinking
Depression and low mood
Low self-esteem
Insomnia and sleep problems
Health anxiety and social anxiety
Stress and burnout
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Life transitions and relationship challenges
Yes, CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) is widely considered the most effective treatment for chronic sleep problems — even more effective than sleeping pills in the long term. It is backed by extensive research and recommended by the NHS and other medical authorities.
CBT-I helps by targeting the thoughts, behaviours, and routines that interfere with sleep. This includes:
Breaking the cycle of worrying about sleep
Creating a consistent sleep schedule
Managing the anxiety that can build up around bedtime
Addressing habits like napping, late-night screen time, or caffeine use
Rather than relying on medication, CBT-I teaches you practical tools and strategies that lead to lasting improvements in sleep quality. Many people begin to notice results within just a few sessions.
If you're struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling unrefreshed, CBT-I could be a powerful and sustainable solution.
Online CBT is delivered via Microsoft Teams. Sessions are confidential, convenient and just as effective as in-person therapy. We will schedule them around your work and life and sessions last 50 mins. You will have access to all learning materials and homework you complete in your own private Teams channel so that we have sight of them throughout therapy. We go at your own pace and I have found it particularly helpful with maintain therapy with clients who would otherwise struggle to meet face to face, either through logistical challenges or not feeling up to it on that day. Studies have shown that online CBT was equally effective as face-to-face CBT for treating depression and anxiety.
