The Good Sleep Clinic
Specialists in long-term sleep problems
Paying for your own treatment
SELF-PAY INFORMATIONUsing private medical insurance
INSURANCE INFORMATIONOur Good Sleep Clinic is a service that specialises in treating insomnia, using evidence-based therapies to help you achieve good quality sleep along with improved health and wellbeing. This clinic is run by Dr Maja Schaedel, Clinical Psychologist specialising in sleep difficulties, and Dr Zoe Schaedel, an experienced general practitioner and clinical leader, with a special interest in sleep difficulties and the menopause and an in-depth understanding of how poor sleep affects physical and psychological health.
The treatment programme that our insomnia specialists design for you will be based on your 1:1 sleep assessment, but could include one or more of our evidence-based therapies and interventions, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing). This, alongside careful medication review, is highly effective in treating insomnia and sleep difficulties.
How much does it cost?
£125 for the initial in-depth sleep assessment (60 minutes)
We are able to charge the treatment sessions to most insurers, however not the assessment session (this is due to it combining the assessment with a private GP medication review which is not covered by insurers).
What is involved?
The initial assessment helps us to understand your sleep difficulties in detail, following which you will usually be offered a sleep treatment programme. This usually involves 3-6 treatment sessions using our effective and evidence-based methods to improve your sleep. This is often a session every week or every 2 weeks, and we offer email or telephone support between sessions if needed. To find out more about the treatments that we use please visit our website https://www.goodsleep.clinic/what-to-expect
What happens after?
3 session treatment package: £360
5 session treatment package: £575
Additional treatment sessions: £125
All assessment and treatment sessions are 1 hour.
After a treatment programme has come to an end, our aim is that you will enjoy the benefits of improved sleep for many years to come! We can offer top up sessions down the line if needed, and are accessible by email if any future problems arise.
