Hypnotherapy Q&As
Can hypnotherapy help with insomnia?
Yes. Sessions quieten a racing mind and bring deep relaxation back to bedtime, and you leave with self-hypnosis to use every night.

Sleep is what happens when you stop doing. The harder you try, the more alert you become, and lying awake wondering whether tonight will be another bad night keeps you awake.

At home, at night
You take home a bedtime self-hypnosis routine and mindfulness, so lying awake feels less distressing. Many people with sleep problems find online sessions especially comfortable. Sleeping tablets can stay as they are; hypnotherapy works alongside them.
