Insomnia is a common sleep difficulty that can involve trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early and not feeling refreshed. Treatment focuses on identifying root causes and building habits and thought patterns that support deep, restorative sleep.
Our approach is for anyone struggling with ongoing sleep problems, whether they’re new or long-term. You might benefit if you:
Struggle to fall asleep or lie awake for hours
Wake up multiple times or too early
Rely on screens, substances, or routines that no longer work
Feel fatigued or foggy even after “sleeping”
Experience anxiety or racing thoughts at night
Sleep better away from home or your usual setting
Feel dread, frustration, or stress around sleep
Live with other mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma) or neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, autism) that affect sleep
Our support is suitable for adults of all ages, and we adapt treatment for sensory needs, trauma backgrounds, and overlapping health concerns.

At Bloomfield Health, we treat insomnia with care, curiosity, and compassion — not just sleep tips or strict routines. Our clinicians use gold-standard CBT-I methods, while adapting to your identity, needs, and preferences. We understand how anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, or life demands can disrupt sleep, and we help you restore trust in your body’s natural rhythm. We’re flexible, trauma-informed, and focused on progress, not perfection.
CBT-I is a specific, evidence-based approach for insomnia that targets the thoughts, behaviours, and habits that disrupt sleep.
