Do you find yourself lying awake at night, unable to switch off, or waking up feeling exhausted? I specialize in helping people overcome sleep issues, whether it’s difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or dealing with chronic insomnia. Many clients come to me after trying other methods to improve their sleep but still wake up tired and frustrated. Together, we can explore a new approach to restoring your natural sleep patterns, so you can finally enjoy restful, rejuvenating nights.

* Teach you tools for falling and staying asleep
*Dive deep into the subconscious to understand your unique triggers and behaviours around sleep
*Provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to talk and be heard
*Improve your sleep habits

Hello, my name is Victoria. I am a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and Coach with more than 13 years’ experience helping people to live the lives they’d love to live. Get in touch to find out more or book an online hypnotherapy appointment, of face-to-face in my comfortable clinic in Colchester, Essex.

Hypnotherapy, NLP and Coaching for Sleep and Insomnia
Hypnotherapy, NLP, and coaching are powerful tools for addressing sleep issues, helping you break free from the patterns that keep you awake at night or leave you feeling exhausted in the morning.
By working with the subconscious mind, I help you using:
Hypnotherapy to reprogram the way your mind and body respond to bedtime, making it easier to relax, drift off peacefully, and enjoy deeper, more restorative sleep.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques to shift negative thought patterns around sleep, empowering you to release anxieties that keep you awake and develop a healthier, more positive sleep mindset.
Coaching to add an additional layer of support, guiding you to establish bedtime routines, prioritize sleep hygiene, and create actionable strategies for overcoming insomnia and other sleep disturbances.
Along with the other psychological and somatic tools in my kit, I create a bespoke plan that provides a holistic pathway to not just transforming your relationship with sleep, allowing you to wake up refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day.
Other tools:
- Meditation and mindfulness
- Breathwork
- Emotional Freedom Technique
- Eye Movement Reprocessing (e.g. EMDR)
