FREE SLEEP GUIDE
A step-by-step guide to understanding and easing anxiety-based insomnia.
Struggling with sleep? I’m here to help.
Hi, I’m Sarah Hudson.
I am a sleep therapist based in Worcester, UK. I offer compassionate, personalised therapy to help 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 hypnotherapy to calm the mind and help you rebuild trust in your ability to sleep.
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 usually notice improvements quickly and appreciate the gentle, compassionate support I provide.

Why CBT & hypnotherapy work so well together
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 daughters – and I’m currently learning to tap dance.
