SLEEP SELF LIFE MIND JOY LOVE TRUTH

Psychotherapy helps us uncover the deeper roots of your struggles, going beyond surface symptoms. My holistic approach supports you in finding ease within yourself, in your relationships, and in how you sleep at night – a journey of insight and change we undertake together.

Heather Darwall-Smith

Psychotherapist

In my work with clients, we venture into the deeper questions of what it means to truly be in this world – to confront the anxieties, conflicts, and desires that may underlie restless nights. It is through our genuine connection, and by integrating diverse therapeutic approaches, that we can begin to touch the core of these issues. The aim is not just better sleep, but a more profound sense of peace – an alignment of your inner world that resonates in both your night-time rest and daytime existence.

Whether you seek short term work or a longterm, more reflective journey, my approach is flexible and responsive. I’ll meet you where you are, offering targeted solutions or a deeper dive, all within a compassionate, empathetic, and balanced environment.

This is often the question we ponder in therapy, especially when dealing with the complex interplay between sleep and wakefulness. Is it the sleepless nights casting shadows over your days, or the daytime worries banishing your sleep? I’m here to help you untangle these threads. Using a biopsychosocial approach, we’ll explore your current landscape together and chart a course that honours your unique rhythm and needs.

The Science of Sleep is a collection of evidence-based answers to the questions I’m asked every day in my work. It’s designed to take a visual and beautifully illustrated approach, making complex sleep science accessible and engaging.

The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of sleep, offering clarity on key topics such as the history of sleep research, the stages of sleep, the impact of technology, and the deep connection between sleep and mental health.

Alongside the science, it provides practical, easy-to-follow tips for improving sleep hygiene, managing sleep disorders, and creating better sleep habits. It also shares personal stories from individuals who have struggled with sleep issues, offering relatable insights into how sleep challenges can be overcome.

At times, my work requires me to travel, so there may be occasions when in-person sessions will need to shift online. This option ensures continuity of care, no matter where either of us are located
