Sleep Therapist Oxford Specialising in Trouble Sleeping & Insomnia
Compassionate & actionable online support to help you feel calmer & more energised.
Is sleep therapy for you?
Perhaps you can relate to some of the following experiences:
Despite being exhausted you struggle to fall asleep each night
You wake at 3am with a racing mind, unable to get back to sleep
You experience lots of “what if…?” thoughts and worries about the future
You lie awake, watching the clock, worrying about how you’ll cope tomorrow
You feel on edge, overwhelmed and struggle to focus during the day
You worry during the day about how well you’ll sleep tonight
You’ve tried improving your sleep hygiene or using supplements, sleeping pills, herbal teas & more, but nothing seems to make a lasting difference
If any of the above resonates, you’re in the right place.
Why work with a sleep therapist?
I know it feels like you’ve tried everything to improve your sleep, from perfecting your sleep hygiene to taking supplements or using meditation apps. Nothing works and you feel out of control.
But the problem is that often these things don’t address the factors maintaining your poor sleep.
Several factors can keep poor sleep going even if the initial trigger for your trouble sleeping has resolved. These factors, such as worry, sleep anxiety & unhelpful behaviours, keep you stuck in a cycle of poor sleep.
As a sleep therapist, I’ll help you to identify & address the factors keeping you stuck and teach you evidence-based ways to sleep better by:
Reducing sleep anxiety
Strengthening your sleep ‘appetite’
Rebuilding the connection between the bed and sleep
Managing worry & stress
Implementing sleep-supporting behaviours and habits
Restoring a healthy sleep pattern
By the time you finish therapy, you’ll feel calmer and more energised. And you’ll be equipped with the tools & skills to support yourself and your sleep for life.

“I was really happy with the service provided by Amy. Each session was tailored towards my needs, we worked through different strategies and Amy was always really reassuring and positive throughout the sessions. Amy is very informative and calming and helped me so much. Within 3-4 sessions my sleep situation had improved so much! Thank you for all of your help!”

How would life look if you felt calmer & slept better?
As a sleep therapist, I can help you to:
🧘🏽♀️ Reduce overwhelm, so you can be more present with family and friends.
🛏️ Sleep better, so you can focus on achieving your career goals or building your business.
🛋️ Relax and enjoy watching your favourite Netflix series with your partner in the evening, without being distracted by worries about sleep.
🏃♀️ Have more energy, so you can book your favourite pilates class, or take up a hobby.
🧠 Retrain your broken sleep patterns, so you can fall asleep and stay asleep.
💭 Navigate stress & anxiety without it derailing your entire week or keeping you awake at 3 am.
I am based near Oxford and Witney on the edge of the Cotswolds, but offer online sessions only. Studies have shown online therapy to be just as effective as face-to-face therapy. This means I can work with you from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in the UK.

“I found the sessions with Amy very helpful. The tools she shared with me helped me to see my patterns of catastrophising & how to work through these thought processes. Amy was very patient, kind & I felt I could be open with her & myself during our sessions. I am very grateful to have received these sessions during a very stressful time in my life.”

How does it work?
01- FREE CHAT
First, we’ll arrange a convenient time to have a free 15-minute chat.
This is to make sure that you feel comfortable working with me and that I am the right sleep therapist to help you.
You can also ask any questions you might have about starting therapy.
02 - INITIAL SESSION
We begin with an in-depth exploration of your current situation.
From this, we’ll create goals for what you want to achieve from working together, which help guide the focus of subsequent sessions.
Therapy is collaborative and feedback is encouraged as we progress, so that I can adjust sessions to your needs.
03 - SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS
The rest of your sessions are tailored to help you achieve your therapy goals.
You’ll find me teaching practical tools & skills to help you sleep through the night and improve your emotional wellbeing. I’ll suggest things to work on between sessions too, so that you can integrate what you learn into daily life.
Working collaboratively, we’ll identify and address the factors maintaining your difficulty sleeping, and work on rebuilding the connection between the bed & sleep.
You will leave therapy with a ‘toolbox’ of resources that you can come back to whenever you need, to support your sleep for life.
