Therapy for insomnia and sleep anxiety
When you cannot sleep, the night feels incredibly long and lonely. Sleep problems are often deeply tied to anxiety and stress. If you are searching for an online psychologist for sleep problems, you understand how lack of rest drains your energy, mood, and focus.
The cycle of sleep anxiety
Often, the harder you try to sleep, the more elusive it becomes. The bed becomes a place of frustration and worry rather than rest. You might find yourself calculating how many hours you have left before the alarm goes off.
Therapy for sleep issues focuses on breaking this association and reducing the anxiety surrounding sleep itself. We look at behaviours that might inadvertently be keeping you awake.
Evidence-based approaches to sleep
Neha Malik utilizes principles of CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia), which is the gold standard psychological treatment for sleep issues. We look at sleep hygiene, stimulus control, and managing the racing thoughts that keep you awake.
Creating a sustainable routine
We work together to design a wind-down routine that signals safety and relaxation to your brain, helping to restore your natural sleep drive without relying on quick fixes.
Questions people ask
Do I need sleeping pills?
A psychologist does not prescribe medication. While medication can be helpful for short-term relief, psychological therapy addresses the underlying habits and anxieties, offering a sustainable, long-term solution to sleep problems.
How quickly does CBT-I work?
Many people begin to see improvements in their sleep patterns within 4 to 8 weeks of consistently applying the techniques learned in therapy.
