CBT-i, also known as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, is a highly effective form of individual therapy for addressing sleep problems. It focuses on modifying negative thoughts and behaviours that contribute to sleep difficulties while also promoting better sleep hygiene and stress management. By utilizing techniques such as stimulus control and sleep restriction, CBT-i helps individuals establish healthier sleep patterns and ultimately improve the quality of their sleep.
Sleep consolidation is a method to improve the quality of sleep by reducing night-time awakenings and maximizing deep, restorative sleep. It involves techniques like maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, practicing relaxation before bed, and creating a sleep-friendly environment. The goal is to make sleep more efficient and effective.
Stimulus control in CBT-i improves the bedroom-sleep association by using the bed only for sleep, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and avoiding stimulating activities before bedtime. This technique promotes better sleep patterns and reduces insomnia symptoms.
Cognitive Restructuring in CBT-i is a therapeutic technique that aims to identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that contribute to sleep problems. It involves examining the accuracy and validity of these thoughts and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones.
Sleep hygiene in CBT-i involves adopting habits and practices for better sleep, such as consistent bedtime, relaxing routines, comfortable sleep environment, avoiding stimulants, managing stress, and healthy eating. It improves sleep quality and overall well-being.
Whether you have primary insomnia or prefer non-medication approaches, CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia) offers a tailored sleep management solution. Say goodbye to relying solely on sleep medications and embrace a holistic approach that empowers you to develop healthy sleep habits.

At STG, we firmly believe that no one should be pressured to decide whether or not they want to work with a therapist before meeting them. A therapist will see you (or you and your child) at no charge in an online secure session to ensure a good fit for each other. Every therapist works uniquely, so we want you (or you and your child) to be sure to feel comfortable with how we work. The initial meeting is not a therapy session; it’s designed to be low-key and low-pressure.
