Sleep Therapy
for Insomnia & Sleep Anxiety
A proven blend of CBT & hypnotherapy to restore restful sleep
Struggling with sleep? I’m here to help.
Hi, I’m Sarah Hudson.
I offer compassionate, personalised sleep therapy in Worcester and online, helping people overcome insomnia, sleep anxiety and night-time worry.
If you’re stuck in a cycle of anxiety → poor sleep → more anxiety, you don’t have to keep battling on your own. My approach blends CBT tools with therapeutic hypnotherapy to calm the mind and help you rebuild trust in your ability to sleep.
Let’s talk about what’s been happening and how I can help.
Does this sound familiar?
You dread bedtime because you know your mind will start racing
You lie awake worrying about how you’ll cope the next day
You can fall asleep, but wake up at 3 am and can’t get back to sleep
You’ve become anxious about not sleeping, which only makes things worse
You’ve tried countless sleep hacks, supplements and routines with little success
You worry there must be something seriously wrong that is preventing sleep
How I can help
Sleep can improve even if you’ve struggled for years or feel like you’ve tried everything. I combine practical CBT-based tools with calming, evidence-based hypnotherapy to help you understand what’s driving your insomnia and guide you through proven steps to restore natural sleep.
This isn’t generic “sleep hygiene” advice. Each session is personalised to your sleep patterns and anxiety triggers, uncovering what’s keeping your sleep disrupted and putting practical strategies in place for lasting change. Clients often notice improvements quickly and appreciate the gentle, non-judgemental support I provide.
Why CBT & hypnotherapy work so well together
CBT helps you change the unhelpful thoughts and habits that fuel sleep anxiety
Hypnotherapy calms the nervous system and reinforces healthier sleep responses
Together, they reduce night-time fear, ease tension and strengthen your confidence in sleep. Clients notice positive changes after just a few sessions.

About me
I’ve always been fascinated by things that support our wellbeing and over time, sleep became a subject I couldn’t stop exploring. I follow the work of leading sleep researchers such as Matthew Walker and Russell Foster, and I’m passionate about translating evidence-based knowledge into practical, compassionate support.
I hold a Higher Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and am registered with the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP). My training enables me to use CBT-based strategies and hypnotherapy safely and effectively to help people sleep better.
Outside my practice, I enjoy long walks with my dog, live music, time with my husband and grown-up daughters – and I’m currently learning to tap dance.
