Hypnotherapy for Insomnia Nottingham
Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night, unable to drift off, or waking up in the early hours with your mind racing? You’re not alone. Sleep disorders, including insomnia, affect millions of people and can leave you feeling low and exhausted, frustrated, anxious, unable to cope and with little or no motivation or concentration.
What causes poor sleep and insomnia?
There are many reasons why you might be struggling to get a good night’s rest. Common causes include:
- Stress and anxiety from worries about work, relationships, or everyday pressures which can keep your mind active, making it hard to switch off
- Lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep schedules, excessive screen time before bed, caffeine consumption, or lack of physical activity can disrupt your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle
- Emotional struggles like feelings of sadness, overwhelm, or unresolved issues that can surface at night and make relaxation difficult
- Medical conditions such as chronic pain, hormonal changes, or certain medications can also interfere with your sleep.
Symptoms of insomnia
Insomnia doesn’t just affect your nights. It can have a significant impact on your days, too. Some common symptoms include:
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Waking up too early and being unable to get back to sleep
- Feeling tired and unrefreshed in the morning
- Irritability, mood swings, or difficulty concentrating
- Increased anxiety about not being able to sleep.
If any of this sounds familiar, you might feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of sleeplessness and frustration. The good news is, there is a way forward.
How Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, based on neuroscience, helps you to understand how your brains work and how they can get you stuck sometimes. It’s a gentle, positive, and effective approach that focuses on the future, not the past. Rather than dwelling on the problems or causes of your insomnia, we work together to create positive changes and build a future where you can sleep peacefully.
A collaborative approach that combines talking therapy with a deep state of relaxation called hypnosis. Together, by focusing on what you want rather than what you don’t, we’ll identify small, manageable steps to create conditions for better sleep.
By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state you are then able to quieten and relax your conscious mind and focus on thoughts and suggestions that will help to begin to reduce the stress and tension that is keeping you awake. Rewiring your thought patterns to help retrain your brain to associate bedtime with rest and relaxation, rather than stress or worry, breaking the cycle of negative thoughts and habits that disrupt your sleep.
By encouraging and empowering you to develop more positive tools and techniques to take control of your sleep habits you’ll be able to fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer. You’ll wake up feeling more refreshed and energised, experience less anxiety and stress during the day and feel more optimistic, calm, and in control of your life.

A transformative impact on my life
Where do I begin? I never realised how much I needed Katies support until I had the privilege of working with her. Her calm and reassuring approach immediately put me at ease. Each session was a safe space where I felt truly heard, understood, and supported.

I can't recommend this service enough
When I began hypnotherapy with Katie I was mildly sceptical and unsure of what to expect, but I noticed an improvement in my mood after even the first session. After 8 weeks I was and am totally convinced this is a lifechanging experience & practice.

A new way to approach daily life
Katie has been a huge help in giving me tools to use and a new way to approach daily life. I have had therapy in the past but this was so different - it was refreshing to not look back and drag up the past but to focus on the future.

Life changing for me
Hypnotherapy with Katie has been life changing for me and I say this as a person suffering with ME/CFS, FND and chronic migraine to the point where I was bedridden for most of 2024. The toolkit Katie instilled in me during our time has enabled me to have a quality of life that I never thought possible.
Kelly

Empowering
I can honestly say that working with Katie has been life-changing. The impact of the sessions has been profound. I no longer find myself stuck in procrastination, something I’ve struggled with for years. I now feel so much more capable of dealing with stress and difficult situations when they come up.
