🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Matthew’s review: ‘Michelle has been great. I have suffered for years with insomnia for years. I am really glad I found Michelle to help. She has been very clear, explaining the evidence and reasoning behind her methods as she took me through the course. This is not an overnight cure. But progress is measurable and I now have a range of tools to use to manage my sleep. Highly recommended!’
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Simon’s review: ‘Dr Michelle has been an excellent help. After many years of insomnia, this treatment has started to make a difference’
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dean’s testimonial: ‘I had been dealing with insomnia for so long that it had become so deeply entrenched I was not confident that I could break the habit. Having discussed this with a friend, he recommended Michelle, who explained CBTI. Through a short number of sessions she dispensed with the myths around sleep in general, helped me to become more aware of how to achieve a good nights’s sleep and made some adjustments to my daily routine. It isn’t easy but with a little dedication it has worked. Within a few weeks, I have essentially stopped waking for hours every night, feel more alert during the day and no longer dread going to bed. If you have been suffering with similar experiences, I would thoroughly recommend contacting Michelle and pursuing the CBTI course’
Teenage sleep
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A.’s mum’s testimonial: ‘Michelle had a fantastic and positive impact on A’s sleep patterns. He sees most things from a perspective of science and logic. Your approach, despite his youth, appears to have been ‘pitch-perfect’, combining discussion with graphics etc and kindness. In particular, he took onboard the importance of aiming to rise at a similar time each day, getting light onto his face as soon as he does and keeping ‘blue light’ to a minimum before bed. Even in the school holidays, he was up most days at a sensible time and enjoying the sunlight before breakfast. On the rare occasion he fails to drop off to sleep with ease, he uses the techniques you shared with him, visualising whatever it is that works best for him to relax and sleep. He now has 8 to 9 hours sleep pretty much every night. We really were super grateful for your help and A is genuinely reformed!!’
“My sleep has improved massively after taking this course of insomnia therapy. I’m now armed with the tools and tips to get myself back on track and more importantly I better understand why I wasn't sleeping well in the first place.
I now have better understanding of the different phases of sleep. Michelle gives you lots of tips and tools, I'd recommend trying them all, and you may find a couple work better than others.
Michelle is very patient, puts you at ease and takes the time to understand what is triggering your insomnia. I am extremely grateful to Michelle - The Sleep Sphere insomnia therapy has changed my life for the better!
The standout aspects for me were:
• That Michelle has been there herself, and she knows exactly what it’s like to suffer from insomnia - I found that very reassuring that you could share your experience. It made it all very relatable, and I was confident that the right person was helping me.
• Combating insomnia doesn't just improve your sleep; it improves your life physically and mentally.
• You're not alone, insomnia is far more common than you think, and it can feel overwhelming. The sooner you start to tackle it, the quicker you'll have continual good sleep and a better life.”
- Louise B, London.
“I found the course of insomnia therapy extremely good and well informed, it definitely helped me understand insomnia. Michelle was very calm, confident, friendly, relaxed, and organised all the time. I felt from the very start that the support was always there.
The stand-out aspects for me were:
warmth, clarity of delivery and great empathy.”
— Charlie G, France.
“My sleep is much improved since the course of therapy and I am confident to say that I’m no longer suffering with insomnia. I don’t lie awake for hours during the night worrying about work/life and I do not look at my phone/social media in bed anymore when I cannot sleep.
The course of insomnia therapy was really interesting and the most important thing I learnt is that there is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to our sleep. I was initially nervous that I would be judged as doing something "wrong", but Michelle quickly put my mind at ease and supported me to find a sleep routine that suits my individual needs.
Michelle is a lovely, warm person and very easy to talk to. It helps that she has suffered from insomnia too and understands what you are going through.
My expectations have definitely been met. I don't spend hours laying awake in bed worrying anymore.
The standout aspects for me were:
• That Michelle suffered from insomnia too and has an understanding of the difficulties you might be experiencing
• Michelle’s professional training
• Blasting the '8-hours a night' myth! ”
