Trouble sleeping?
Do you want to fall asleep faster, sleep better and feel more energised in the day?
Need a solution rather than lots of products and general advice?
Not sure where to start or go for help?
Together we will develop and apply a personalised blend of strategies so that you go from exhausted to energised in the most effective way.
You’ll love this approach that’s been adopted by many individuals to enable their sleep to get back on track and commissioned by numerous organisations wanting to improve their team members’ health and performance. There is no limit to who can benefit from this personalised programme, from people looking for small tweaks to enhance vitality to individuals seeking massive quality of life improvements.
Therefore, I offer two great ways to help you - individually or in groups including via training for organisations and teams, all of which are flexible and can be combined as well as available face to face or virtually.
The programmes are led myself (Dr. Jill McGarry), I am an experienced consultant clinical psychologist who has a passion for helping people sleep better. I firmly believe that every person has a unique need when it comes to sleep, and I focus on working out the contributing factors leading to the sleep problem before suggesting solutions. This ensures that you won’t be wasting your time or money on the unnecessary, you will be signposted when necessary and will only be provided with additional interventions if beneficial.
However, if you need complex support and interventions I have over 30 years’ experience in supporting people’s psychological wellbeing and can integrate additional therapies to support these needs. Since qualifying as a clinical psychologist, I have trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia, chronotherapy, Trauma, Rogerian / person centred counselling, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, EMDR phase 1 & 2 activities, Family Therapy and Mindfulness. This means I have many approaches to apply and adapt, leading to an ability to provide a personal blend of interventions, applying only the relevant tools and tailoring the programme to YOU as well as your sleep problem. The results from this approach means you feel more comfortable and confident in making changes and this in turn creates better outcomes.

“I recently took the opportunity to book a free 15 mins consult with Jill. There was no “Hard sell” with the conversation. It is clear that Jill is passionate about sleep therapy and even in that short time, provided me with a number of options and solutions to help resolve the sleep issues I have. I would recommend anyone with sleep issues, no matter how trivial or big you think they are, to book a time with Jill. It has helped me to be more positive and greatly helped with resolving my sleep problems”

“I genuinely thank Jill for taking the time to offer the 15 mins consult. Words can’t really say how valuable and worthwhile they were. Being given ideas that I could try straight away and that were practical was really helpful. I also appreciated being given things to ponder, for a longer consideration, and sign posting for factors to consider”

“I’ve struggled with sleep most of my life. Understanding the sleep cycles and how to notice cues in your own body have helped enormously. Having some tips to use when I find sleep difficult has had a massive impact on my night’s rest. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone who wants to understand sleep or sleep better. Fantastic”

"I had been struggling with my sleep for over 6 months and was becoming desperate. I had tried a sleep psychologist previously, but I felt the whole process was rushed and wasn't tailored to my needs. Hence I was hesitant to try another run at it, however, my hesitation was immediately eradicated after just one session with Jill. She was a great listener, did not rush the session, and understood my situation. Jill has a thorough understanding of the science behind sleep, and also the psychological relationship we have with our sleep behaviour. Over the course of my sessions with Jill we would create tools and ways of implementing them to help with my sleep and anxieties. We would recap on what we had previously spoken about and how I was getting on with their integration. I believe the mindset that Jill helped me develop has hugely helped me in my sleep and everyday life. It's clear to see that she is in this job because she really cares about helping people and overcoming their problems. I recommend anyone who is struggling to reach out to Jill and experience her unique approach to every individual."

“I feel our sessions have had such a great impact on how I’m feeling day to day and also helped me get through my grieving for my dad. For all this I’m truly thankful. Many friends and family claimed to have seen such a difference since the first session and I couldn’t have asked for more”

“The sleep advice has worked for me personally as I now don’t stress if I’m not asleep by a certain time and I listen to my body more. I’ve also stopped using the snooze button and ditched the PJs as they were keeping me too warm. It’s been really helpful for me especially understanding the waves and cycles”

“Thank you for the sessions they have been informative and extremely helpful. I have decided on some initial steps to implement. It’s really re-assuring on this long and difficult journey to feel that there are some professionals who understand and can offer useful advice. Thank you, it’s been great.”
