EDHA concern guide
Sleep Difficulties
Sleep problems may be connected with stress, anxiety, mood, routines, health conditions or other factors. Counselling can help when thoughts, habits or emotional patterns are contributing.
How counselling may help
- Review behavioural and emotional factors around sleep
- Develop consistent routines and wind-down strategies
- Address worry, rumination and unhelpful sleep beliefs
- Identify when medical assessment may also be useful
When other care may also be appropriate
Persistent sleep problems can have medical causes. Seek medical assessment for concerns such as breathing problems during sleep, severe daytime sleepiness or other significant physical symptoms.
