About Becky
Sleep and our bodies thrive on rhythm and balance. When that balance is disrupted it can affect sleep, mood, and energy and in turn how we feel and function day to day. I specialise in sleep and lifestyle support for people struggling with insomnia, fatigue, stress, and burnout. I’m an HCPC registered Occupational Therapist with over 25 years of NHS clinical experience, and a certified Lifestyle Medicine professional with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine. This means I’m trained to look beyond symptoms and explore the wider occupational and lifestyle factors that influence sleep. I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), recommended by NICE as a first-line treatment for insomnia. This incorporates stress physiology, dealing with a racing mind and nervous system regulation, because a body or mind in “threat mode” at bedtime will struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep. My approach is holistic and solution-focused, and addresses the underlying drivers or root cause of poor sleep. Sleep doesn’t exist in isolation so we look at the full 24 hour picture. I provide a comprehensive assessment of your sleep difficulties, and analyse how your daily routines, habits, behaviours, beliefs and environment may be contributing to your sleep difficulties. This includes understanding how food, movement, connection, and mental wellbeing all play a vital role in our sleep health. Together we co-create a tailored sleep wellness plan that includes practical action steps, small daily practices and adaptive strategies, whilst simultaneously addressing your sleep beliefs and mindset. Using this combination of sleep education, cognitive and behavioural and environmental strategies it is possible to achieve restful, restorative sleep.
To improve your sleep, we first need to understand it. In this in-depth session, we explore the full picture of your sleep difficulties, not just what's happening at night, but how your daily routines, habits, behaviours, environment, and mindset are all contributing to the problem. Using a structured occupational therapy and lifestyle medicine framework, we will assess and analyse all the factors contributing to your sleep difficulties, exploring not just what is happening at night, but how your whole daily life, habits, environment and mindset are affecting your ability to rest and recover. A distinctive part of this assessment is the exploration of your sleep and energy relationship. Sleep and fatigue are deeply interconnected, and my specialist training in fatigue and energy management means we assess your energy patterns alongside your sleep - understanding how the two influence each other, and where the greatest opportunities for change lie. By the end of this session you will have: • A thorough understanding of your sleep difficulties and their root causes • Insight into the lifestyle, occupational and environmental factors maintaining your poor sleep • Clarity on how your energy patterns and fatigue are connected to your sleep health • A shared analysis of your sleep story — and a clear, personalised roadmap for your recovery This assessment forms the foundation and is ideally followed by Sleep Optimisation Sessions, where we move from analysis to action, and begin the work of sustainable, lasting change to restore your sleep.
