I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, and have a real enthusiasm for working with children (age 6+) and their families, to help with a range of sleep concerns. I enjoy the creativity that comes with working with children, and place a high value on creating a safe, non-judgemental space to support progress.

I primarily use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) which is the first line recomended treatment when assisting people with insomnia and poor sleep.

I help adults, kids and parents understand how sleep is regulated, establish more helpful sleep routines, learn strategies for winding down, manage a busy mind and anxiety about not sleeping, and work to reduce nighttime fears or bedtime oppositionality in children.

In addition to insomnia, other sleep difficulties I work with include:

• Circadian Rhythm problems such as Delayed Sleep Phase / Advanced Sleep Phase
• Chronic nightmares
• Overreliance on sleep medication
• Difficulty relaxing into sleep (overthinking, feeling too alert, tense etc)
• Childhood sleep difficulties such as nighttime fears, separation anxiety, and behavioural problems at bedtime
• Teenagers with delayed body clocks (late to bed and late to rise)
• Daytime fatigue
• Adjusting to CPAP therapy (e.g., claustrophobia, feeling resistant to adhering to CPAP use) 
• Mood, stress, and anxiety that impact on sleep
