Sleep Disorder
Clair Ramsden
Counsellor/Therapist, (Dip.Couns)
Getting enough sleep is a vital component of our physical and mental health. Unfortunately, when it's hard to fall asleep or get enough sleep, our bodies and minds can go into a state of panic and depression. For me, understanding the importance of healthy sleep and how to get back on track after an interrupted or broken sleep has been a major part of my professional life.
I often work with individuals who are struggling with getting enough sleep, and I often find that a few weeks of not getting enough can quickly become a major factor in their overall health. Understanding the various aspects of ourselves can help us improve our quality of life.
Getting enough sleep can help us feel more alert, happy, and alive. I'm happy to help people from different age groups improve their quality of life. I also know how their life stages affect their sleep, such as during the menopause or post-menopausal period.

Sara Aicart-Pendlebury
Art Therapist, Human Givens Practitioner (HG.Dip.P), Member of Human Givens Institute, IFS therapist Levels 1&2, Narm Practitioner
Research shows that depressed people dream much more than non-depressed people, distorting the balance between recuperative slow-wave sleep and energy-burning dream sleep. Clearly, because they spend so much time worrying and imagining, they have far higher amounts of unexpressed arousal to discharge. With so much energy spent on all the excessive dreaming they have to do, they wake up exhausted and lacking in motivation.
It is necessary for people in depression to be helped to challenge their negative thoughts, imagine more realistic outcomes and futures and to find ways to put meaning and purpose back into their lives. This could be through exercise, team sports, doing something for other people, learning a new skill, calling up old friends, and so on. Very often, people who are depressed start to withdraw from their usual routines, stopping going out or phoning or seeing friends, and this makes them dwell on their misery even more. It is essential, therefore, that they are helped to start meeting their emotional needs again, in healthy and satisfying ways. If the depression is due to post-traumatic stress, it is also necessary to stop the traumatic memory from continuing to interfere with life in the present. The rewind technique, a simple, non-invasive method of detraumatisation that all human givens practitioners learn, can achieve this quickly.
Dwelling on and digging up the past is dangerous. Neuropsychological research has shown that this has a physical effect on the brain, strengthening the neuronal connections with misery and negative thinking. We get better at piano or football with practice and, unfortunately, we get better at depression with practice too! So, it really is important to think to the future instead – to learn to shift unhelpful thinking patterns, take back control, find ways to bring meaning and purpose back into life and to look forward with hope.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Sleep disorders are usually (but not always) a secondary symptom of other problems. My approach is to conduct a thorough assessment of the underlying cause and provide treatment accordingly.
