CBT & Hypnotherapy for Sleep
Achieve restful nights with proven techniques and personalised support.
Struggling with sleep? I’m here to help.
Hi, I’m Sarah Hudson. I help people break free from poor sleep, whether it’s trouble falling asleep, waking during the night or never feeling truly rested.
Sleep struggles often go hand-in-hand with stress, anxiety and a racing mind. Using a personalised blend of hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I help you calm your nervous system, shift unhelpful patterns and work with your mind in a more strategic, supportive way.
Hypnotherapy and CBT are gentle, effective tools that complement medical treatment for insomnia and sleep difficulties, especially when stress or overwhelm are part of the picture. Together, we’ll focus on what you can control to ease stress, build sustainable sleep habits and create the right conditions for truly restorative rest.

What clients say
About me
I've always been drawn to understanding what makes us feel well, and over time, sleep became a subject I couldn’t stop reading about. I’m fascinated by the way it affects everything from emotional resilience to immune health, and I regularly follow the work of leading sleep researchers like Matthew Walker and Russell Foster.
The more I learned, the more I saw how poor sleep silently shapes so much of what people struggle with, including anxiety, low mood, memory, motivation, and how deeply it impacts day-to-day life. That’s why I chose to specialise in helping clients overcome sleep issues using evidence-based hypnotherapy and CBT. I’ve gained a respected qualification in this work (Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy) and combine practical, science-backed strategies with a warm, personalised approach.
Outside my practice, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two grown-up daughters, and going on long walks with our dog.
Fees
I offer hypnotherapy as a structured course of treatment, designed to give you the time and consistency needed to create real, lasting change. Most clients benefit from six sessions, which are booked as a block for £450. This allows us to work at a steady pace and build meaningful progress over time.
If, after the first couple of sessions, it feels like a different approach or timing would suit you better, we can review the plan together. The fee will be adjusted accordingly. Top-up sessions are also available at £80 each for ongoing support when needed.
How it works
Sessions are held online or in my therapy room at my home in Drakes Broughton, near Worcester.
We begin with a free 20-minute discovery call to discuss your sleep concerns and make sure we’re a good fit. If you’d like to go ahead, I’ll send you my address details or a Google Meet link for your first appointment. You just log in at the scheduled time.
The first session lasts around 90 minutes. This gives us space to explore your background, gather important details and begin to untangle the issues. Follow-up sessions are about an hour. In these, we’ll explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep sleep problems going and work on practical strategies to change them.
You’ll gain a powerful toolkit of cognitive, behavioural and hypnotic skills so you can become your own hypnotherapist and confidently manage any setbacks. Sessions are relaxed, fun and supportive. Progress depends on your full participation and commitment, including completing tasks between sessions.
