67. How to Improve Sleep & Reduce Insomnia with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy


Listen Later

Dr Michelle Ni Raghallaigh is an NHS-trained insomnia specialist and cognitive neuroscientist. Michelle helps individuals who are suffering with insomnia using the evidence-based approach Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI). This is the ‘gold standard’ treatment for insomnia which uses a range of strategies to improve sleep quality and is known to be extremely effective for individuals with a range of different physical (e.g. chronic pain and cancer) and mental health (e.g. anxiety and depression) conditions. 

Using CBTI, Michelle will help you get refreshing sleep naturally, without having to rely on sleeping tablet prescriptions or over-the-counter medication.

The benefits of CBTI persist in the long-term, long beyond when the therapy finishes. It has been proven to help those with even very long-term (decades) poor sleep. 

Michelle’s approach is always personally tailored to you individually and your own unique sleep difficulty and circumstances. 

A former insomnia sufferer herself, Michelle has been a cognitive neuroscientist for 20 years (including a PhD from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and clinical research at UCL, London), trained in insomnia therapy at the Insomnia and Behavioural Sleep Medicine Clinic, UCLH and is a member of The British Sleep Society

She runs a private practice and delivers insomnia therapy both online via Zoom to UK and international clients and in-person at her clinic space in Cambridge.

Michelle’s wish is to bring together her long-standing experience of critically evaluating scientific evidence, and her training in insomnia therapy, to provide a compassionate and evidence-driven way of helping those who are struggling with their sleep.
