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.
Following your comprehensive assessment and sleep analysis, these sessions are where the real work begins. Each session is tailored specifically to you, focusing on the root cause areas identified as contributing to your sleep difficulties. Drawing on a biopsychosocial approach, we work across all the dimensions that influence sleep, not just what happens at night, but how your whole life, body and mind are affecting your ability to rest. A key part of this work is the relationship between sleep and energy. Poor sleep and fatigue are deeply interconnected, and my specialist training in fatigue and energy management means we can address both together, understanding how your energy patterns across the day are influencing your sleep, and how improving your sleep will in turn restore and sustain your energy. Together we will work through: • Routines and behaviours, building sleep-supportive habits and dismantling the ones that are keeping you stuck • Beliefs and cognitive patterns, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and the mental hyperarousal that keeps the brain alert at bedtime • Stress, pressure and nervous system regulation, understanding how your body's threat response affects sleep, and developing practical strategies to shift out of survival mode • Energy and fatigue management, identifying your personal energy patterns, pacing your activities and building a sustainable rhythm that supports both rest and recovery • Environment and occupational balance, looking at how your daily activities, roles and environment are supporting or undermining your sleep and energy health The focus throughout is on identifying the real barriers to change and working through them practically and compassionately. This is about making sustainable, meaningful change that supports restful, restorative sleep and renewed energy for the long term.
