Are you or your child not sleeping well?
We are here to help.

Do you have trouble quietening your mind or settling your body? Do you worry about your sleep? Are you a worrier in general?

Does your schedule suit your sleep needs? Is it hard for you to get to sleep or wake-up on time?

Do you have habits or routines that interrupt your sleep? E.g., Screens, caffeine, alcohol, exercise, working late, reliance on pills, irregular sleep routine.

At Sleep Matters, we are a team of psychologists (Jeffery & Ree Clinical Psychologists) with particular interest and experience in helping people to manage sleep problems, particularly insomnia.

People are sometimes surprised to be referred to a psychologist for their poor sleep, as it is not well known that the recommended treatment for insomnia, CBT-I, is a speciality of psychology.

We have helped 1000s of people with long term sleep problems, including those who have been dependent on sleeping medication for a long time. We also provide general psychology services which means that symptoms of stress, anxiety, and low mood can also be addressed if required.

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder. Insomnia is a chronic difficulty with getting to sleep or staying asleep which has a negative impact on wellbeing and can cause a great deal of distress.

For many children and families, getting enough sleep works smoothly enough. For some youngsters, however, poor sleep can be a headache both for them and for their families. Why does it go wrong?

Are you an extreme early bird or a night owl? Is your sleep disrupted by shiftowork? Do you find it difficult to sleep and wake at the times you would like to? Our treatments can assist in getting your body clock back on track.

The Sleep Matters team are clinical psychologists who also work with psychological issues that can impact sleep. The Sleep Matters service is part of Jeffery&Ree Clinical psychologists.

We regularly provide talks & workshops to workplaces, schools, professional and community groups on sleep health and insomnia. Please enquire about a tailored solution for your organisation.
