CBT-i at Somnus Psychology: Restoring Natural, Refreshing Sleep
At Somnus Psychology, we support people who are experiencing broken, restless or unpredictable sleep through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, often called CBT-I. Insomnia can become a tiring cycle that influences concentration, mood, energy levels and daily functioning. CBT-I is a well established, research supported treatment that helps people rebuild a calmer relationship with sleep by reshaping the patterns that keep insomnia in place.
A gentle, structured approach to insomnia
CBT-I blends practical behavioural strategies with psychological techniques that encourage the mind and body to settle at night. Treatment looks closely at the habits, thoughts and physical cues that quietly feed into wakefulness. Sessions guide you through changes that feel realistic and sustainable, whether that involves adjusting the sleep schedule, strengthening the natural sleep drive or reducing the pressure that often builds when sleep becomes elusive. Over time, the brain relearns how to ease into rest without the familiar tension that can appear at bedtime.
How CBT-I supports recovery
Insomnia often persists because the bed becomes linked with alertness or worry rather than rest. CBT-I works by gradually reversing this pattern and teaching the brain to associate the sleep environment with comfort and safety again. Many people notice that as their confidence around sleep improves, the body responds with steadier nights and a more predictable rhythm. The approach is practical, collaborative and tailored to your individual sleep pattern, daily routine and health needs.
Who CBT-I can help
This treatment suits adults who have difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking far earlier than planned. It is often useful for people who have tried general sleep hygiene strategies without lasting improvement. CBT-I can assist those whose sleep has been unsettled by stress, anxiety, shift work, long term habits or demanding schedules, and can sit alongside broader therapeutic support when required.
What working with Somnus Psychology looks like
Your clinician will spend time understanding your current sleep pattern and the factors contributing to it. Together you create a practical plan that evolves as your sleep begins to stabilise. Adjustments are paced in a way that feels manageable and respectful of your individual circumstances. Many clients notice changes within a few weeks as the body begins to settle into a rhythm that feels more natural and restorative.
