At PsychiCare, our RCI-Licensed Psychologists and professional Psychiatrist provide evidence-based therapy for sleep issues and insomnia, trusted by clients across India, Singapore, UAE, UK, and Canada.
If lifestyle changes, apps, or sleeping pills haven’t worked, therapy can help you address the root causes of your sleep issues and finally wake up refreshed.
Why You May Be Struggling With Sleep
Sleep issues often come from more than one source. By understanding the common triggers, you’ll see why therapy works better than quick fixes or pills.
Stress & Racing Thoughts
Anxiety and overthinking often keep your brain “on” at night, blocking the body’s natural wind-down process.
Modern Lifestyle Triggers
Screens, social media, irregular shifts, and late-night scrolling disrupt circadian rhythm and confuse your body clock.
Health & Hormones
Menopause, thyroid imbalance, ADHD, autism, or chronic pain can all interfere with deep, restorative sleep.
Substances & Medications
Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, or even some prescription drugs can fragment sleep and reduce its quality.
Sleep Disorder Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
If you notice these patterns more often than not, it may be more than “just stress.” Therapy can help break the cycle before it worsens.
Taking over 30 minutes to fall asleep most nights
Waking up at 2–4 AM and struggling to get back to sleep
Feeling tired even after 7–8 hours in bed
Relying on caffeine, naps, or alcohol to push through the day
Bedtime anxiety, worrying about not sleeping before you even try
Sleeping long hours but waking up unrefreshed and foggy

Common Sleep Issues We Treat
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, marked by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early. We use CBT-I and personalised therapy to break the cycle of sleepless nights and restore consistent, restful sleep.
Shift work, jet lag, or delayed sleep phase syndrome can throw off your body’s internal clock. Our psychologists provide structured therapy and lifestyle strategies to reset circadian rhythms, helping you sleep at the right time and wake refreshed.
Many clients describe bedtime as the hardest part of the day — their mind won’t switch off. Sleep anxiety and racing thoughts are treatable through CBT, mindfulness, and relaxation training designed to calm the nervous system.
Past trauma can resurface at night through disturbing dreams, night terrors, or fragmented sleep. Our therapists use trauma-informed approaches, including CBT and EMDR-based strategies, to reduce nightmares and help you feel safe enough to rest again.
Sleep challenges are common in neurodivergent children and adults, often involving delayed sleep onset, restlessness, or irregular cycles. Therapy provides calming techniques and structured routines tailored to ADHD or autism, supporting better sleep for both individuals and their families.
During perimenopause and menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, and hormonal shifts can disrupt sleep. We combine CBT-I with relaxation strategies and psychiatric review (if required) to help women improve both sleep quality and mood.
Some people feel exhausted despite spending enough hours in bed. Therapy explores lifestyle, mental health, and sleep hygiene factors behind persistent tiredness. Addressing insomnia, fragmented sleep, or anxiety restores natural energy and prevents long-term health risks.
How Online Sleep Therapy Works
1. Initial Assessment
Your psychologist reviews your sleep patterns, lifestyle, and health background to identify insomnia triggers or circadian rhythm disruptions.
2. Personalised Plan
A tailored sleep therapy plan using CBT-I, relaxation, and lifestyle strategies is created to directly target your unique sleep challenges.
3. Therapy Sessions
Regular online sessions focus on breaking unhelpful cycles, calming racing thoughts, and building consistent, restorative sleep routines.
4. Progress & Support
Progress is reviewed closely and therapy is adjusted when needed. Psychiatric input is available if a medication review is required.
Does Therapy Really Work for Sleep Issues?
Yes — therapy, especially Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), is the gold standard treatment worldwide. It is proven to be more effective long-term than medication.
❌ Myth
Sleep problems go away on their own
✅ Truth
Occasional restless nights may pass, but chronic insomnia often worsens without treatment. Therapy provides tools to prevent the cycle from repeating.
❌ Myth
Only sleeping pills can help
✅ Truth
Medication may help short-term but rarely fixes the root cause. CBT-I works without side effects and builds long-term healthy sleep habits.
❌ Myth
Therapy takes too long
✅ Truth
Most clients notice improvements within 4–6 sessions, experiencing better sleep and reduced anxiety around bedtime.
CBT-I is recommended by the NHS, Mayo Clinic, and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine as the first-line treatment for insomnia.

Children & Teens
Kids often struggle with nightmares, bedtime resistance, or anxiety at night. Therapy helps them develop healthier routines, reduce bedtime stress, and improve emotional regulation so they can sleep peacefully.

Understanding Insomnia - Types, Causes & Treatments
Insomnia isn’t one-size-fits-all. Psychologists and sleep experts usually classify it into:
- Acute Insomnia: Short-term, lasting a few days to weeks, often triggered by stress, job change, or travel.
- Transient Insomnia: Lasts less than a week, usually related to emotional distress, illness, or poor sleep hygiene.
- Chronic Insomnia: Persists for over a month, often linked to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or neurological issues.
Why this matters: Knowing the type of insomnia helps our psychologists and psychiatrist create tailored therapy plans.
Insomnia rarely has a single cause. In therapy, we look at multiple layers:
- Psychological: Anxiety, depression, overthinking, unresolved trauma.
- Medical: Diabetes, GERD, thyroid issues, chronic pain, neurological conditions.
- Lifestyle: Excess screen time, caffeine late at night, irregular routines, shift work.
- Environmental: Noise, travel, uncomfortable sleep environment.
- Medication side effects: Certain antidepressants, asthma inhalers, blood pressure meds.
At PsychiCare, we go beyond sleep tips — we help you uncover root causes and provide therapy that lasts.
The most effective treatment for insomnia is CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia). Here’s how therapy helps:
- CBT-I: Reframes unhelpful thoughts (“I’ll never fall asleep”) and retrains sleep behaviour. Proven as effective as medication — with longer-lasting benefits.
- Stimulus Control: Helps your brain associate bed with sleep only, not TV or scrolling.
- Relaxation Training: Mindfulness, deep breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation to calm the nervous system.
- Sleep Restriction Therapy: Limits time in bed to reset sleep pressure, then gradually restores natural rhythms.
- Medical Review: In some cases, our psychiatrist may recommend short-term medication alongside therapy.
Unlike sleeping pills that only mask the problem, therapy rewires sleep habits for long-term recovery.
