Christel Botha

Hello, I’m Christel and I work with children (from age 7), adolescents, and adults who want to sleep better, feel calmer, and get more out of their days.

Many of my clients come to me because they’re tired of lying awake at night, struggling to fall or stay asleep, or feeling anxious about bedtime. Others are parents looking for smoother, age-appropriate sleep routines for their children without stress or conflict. I enjoy helping people move from exhaustion and frustration to restful, confident, and restorative sleep. I can also support with circadian rhythm disorders, shiftwork, hypersomnia and people experiencing chronic nightmares.

I use evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and I’m currently completing advanced training in the management of sleep difficulties through Sleep Matters. Together, we’ll uncover the habits, thoughts, and rhythms that impact your sleep — and replace them with practical strategies that work for you and your lifestyle.

In addition to treating sleep disorders and difficulties, I also help clients experiencing with anxiety, stress, low confidence, and mood concerns that so often accompany poor sleep. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where clients of all ages can rebuild healthy sleep and live with greater calm, balance, and vitality.
