Dr Jo Gee Psychotherapy
Treatment for Insomnia
and Sleep Disorders
Sleep is essential. Our emotional wellbeing, physical health and ability concentrate are all reliant on the quality of our sleep.
However, as many as 1 in 3 adults are affected by insomnia symptoms. Left untreated, this not only impacts mood, energy levels, relationships and daily functioning, but can also lead to anxiety disorders, increased cardiovascular risk, and decreased general quality of life.
If you’re having sleeping difficulties that make everyday life a challenge, we’re here to help. We provide specialist assessment and treatment for insomnia and sleep disorders in adults, adolescents and young people across Guildford and Surrey.
Our experienced clinicians offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help individuals understand the underlying causes of their sleep difficulties and develop effective treatment strategies to improve sleep and wellbeing.
Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the quality, timing or duration of sleep. They can impact physical health, emotional wellbeing and day-to-day functioning. They are often associated with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and stress, although these can also occur independently.
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders and involves difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or waking earlier than intended and being unable to return to sleep. Insomnia can be short-term, often linked to stress or life events, or chronic, lasting for several months or longer.
People with insomnia often experience:
“From start to finish, it taught me so much about myself.”
“Thank you for challenging me when I needed it.”
“I can’t believe how much progress I’ve made in a short time.”
“After many years of therapy, you are the first person who gets me.”

Sleep disorders include more than just insomnia. There is a wide range of sleep disorders that includes:
Sleep is a basic human function with established connections with multiple bodily systems. It acts as a master conductor of neuroendocrine, immune and neurophysiological functions, which is why sleep difficulties benefit from a multidisciplinary approach that integrates individual characteristics and tailored treatment options.
At Dr Jo Gee Psychological Therapies, sleep assessments fall under 2 main categories:
a) patients seeking an understanding of their individual sleep physiology, an improvement of their sleep quality and daytime functioning, without significant health concerns
b) patients with significant sleep difficulties with considerable impact on their health, or with other comorbid psychiatric symptoms/disorders.
Regardless of why patients require treatment for sleep difficulties, the overall management is a holistic approach with tailored guidance and treatment pathways, usually pharmacological and/or behavioural, such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
