HYPNOTHERAPY FOR INSOMNIA & SLEEP ISSUES – IN READING & DIDCOT
If you’re struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, switch off your mind, or wake up feeling rested — you are not broken, and you are not “bad at sleeping.”
Insomnia is often the result of stress patterns, emotional overload, or subconscious hyper-alertness… and these can be changed.
I help people across Reading, Didcot, and online overcome insomnia, racing thoughts, nighttime anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns using hypnotherapy, NLP, and calm, practical mindset techniques.
Many clients begin sleeping more easily and naturally within just a few sessions.

Ask a Question
Do Any of These Sound Like You?
• Struggling to fall asleep even when exhausted
• Waking up during the night and unable to settle again
• Racing thoughts or overthinking at bedtime
• Feeling tired, foggy, or irritable during the day
• Dreading bedtime because you expect not to sleep
• Lying awake replaying worries or stressful situations
• Waking too early and unable to return to sleep
• Feeling frustrated, anxious, or “wired” at night
Why Insomnia Persists
Sleep problems rarely come from “just bad habits.”
They are usually linked to deeper emotional or neurological patterns such as:
• Stress and overwhelm
• Anxiety or excessive mental activity
• Past experiences causing subconscious hyper-vigilance
• Depression
• Lifestyle pressures
• Environmental disruptions
• Long-term worry cycles
• Poor bedtime conditioning
Even when you want to sleep, the subconscious may still be running in “alert mode,” keeping your body out of the calm, restful state required for sleep.

The Science Behind Insomnia
Insomnia isn’t “just bad sleep” — it often has a physiological cause. Research shows it can be linked to:
• Nervous system hyperarousal – elevated stress hormones (cortisol/adrenaline) keep the brain alert when it should be winding down.
• Disrupted sleep–wake cycle – stress, mood, or lifestyle changes affect melatonin timing and make it harder to fall asleep naturally.
• Overactive thinking networks – areas of the brain linked to worry and overthinking (like the prefrontal cortex and default mode network) stay active at night.
How Hypnotherapy Helps
Clinical studies show hypnotherapy can:
- Calm the nervous system
- Reduce stress and mental overactivity
- Increase the body’s natural “rest-and-digest” state
- Promote deeper, more continuous sleep
In simple terms: hypnotherapy helps retrain the mind and body to switch off more easily.
Insomnia FAQ
How many sessions will I need?
Most people notice improvements within a few sessions.
Can insomnia really improve?
Yes — once the underlying stress patterns are addressed, sleep often resets much faster than people expect.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes — I work with many clients online with excellent results.
What if I’ve tried everything already?
Hypnotherapy works differently from medication, CBT, sleep hygiene, or relaxation apps. It works at the subconscious level where sleep problems are formed.
Start Sleeping Better Again
You don’t have to keep battling long nights, racing thoughts, or exhaustion.
Change begins the moment you decide you’re ready for things to feel easier.
Most clients are surprised by how quickly sleep begins to reset once the mind feels safe again.

I had a very good experience with Matthew. I went to him to try and help with my anxiety and vivid dreams. It was a very unusual experience, like nothing I’ve done before, but it worked! My anxiety, fears and dreams have all minimised and my bad dreams are now reduced by at least 80%. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
