Sleep Disorders: Helping All Ages

Sleep disorders can affect anyone at any age, and we recognise the importance of addressing these issues across the lifespan. Whether you are a parent struggling with a baby's sleep, a teenager dealing with insomnia, or an adult experiencing restless nights, we are here to help. Our evidence-based treatments are tailored to the specific needs of each individual, ensuring that everyone receives the best possible care.

Anxiety Disorders: Addressing a Common Psychological Disorder

Anxiety disorders are one of the most common psychological disorders, affecting both children and adults. At SOMNIA, we offer assistance with a range of anxiety issues, from sleep anxiety and generalised anxiety to separation anxiety, specific phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our experienced Clinical Psychologists use evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive and behaviour therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy, to help clients manage their anxiety and improve their overall well-being.
