Private Sleep Clinic

At Private Psychiatry, we understand that sleep is not a luxury, it is a vital part of your overall health and wellbeing. If you are experiencing persistent difficulties with sleep, our private sleep clinic offers expert-led assessment and treatment tailored to your individual needs.

With a team of sleep specialists, we provide comprehensive support for a wide range of adult sleep disorders, helping you restore restful, consistent sleep through evidence-based approaches.

What Is a Private Sleep Clinic?

A private sleep clinic is a specialist service designed to identify and treat sleep disorders with a medical and psychological focus. At Private Psychiatry, each patient receives a detailed diagnostic assessment, followed by a personalised treatment plan.

We treat a wide range of sleep difficulties, including:

  • Insomnia (sleep onset, maintenance, and early awakening)
  • Circadian rhythm disorders
  • Parasomnias (night terrors, sleepwalking)
  • Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
  • Sleep-related anxiety and hyperarousal
  • Sleep disruption linked to ADHD, trauma, or chronic stress

What to Expect from Your Sleep Clinic Journey

Our approach is thorough, structured, and designed to provide clarity as well as relief. Here is what the process typically involves:

1. Comprehensive Private Sleep Assessment

Every patient begins with an in-depth evaluation of sleep history, lifestyle, physical health, and psychological well-being. We may also recommend and refer you for validated diagnostic tools, such as:

  • Actigraphy (a wrist-worn sleep tracker used over several nights)
  • Home-based or in-lab sleep studies (where clinically indicated via trusted partners)

2. Personalised Treatment Plan

Once we understand your specific sleep profile, we develop an individualised treatment plan. This may include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
  • Progressive muscular relaxation, guided relaxation
  • Adjustments to your sleep routine and environment
  • Short-term or targeted medication (if clinically appropriate)
  • Lifestyle and behavioural strategies to support long-term change

3. Ongoing Support

We offer continuity of care with regular follow-up consultations. Our goal is not just symptom reduction, but long-term improvement in your sleep quality and daytime functioning.
