For people the sleep apps can't fix

Rebuild your relationship with sleep.

It's 3am. Your body is exhausted, but your mind has switched on and won't stop. You've tried the apps, the supplements, the sleep-hygiene rules — and you're still awake.

Chronic insomnia and sleep anxiety rarely yield to trying harder. They respond to a clinical method — delivered one to one by a therapist who works inside the NHS.

The honest part

You've probably already tried most of this.

  • Sleep-hygiene rules — no screens, fixed bedtime2 weeks
  • A meditation or sleep app1 month
  • Magnesium and other supplementsunclear
  • A glass of wine to wind downbackfires
  • Going to bed earlierlie awake longer
When the basics haven't worked, the answer usually isn't more discipline.
It's a different approach — one that addresses the specific mechanism keeping you awake, rather than asking you to fight your way to sleep. That is what this practice does.
The approach

A clinical method, delivered by a person.

Grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and refined through years of NHS-embedded practice. Three principles shape every programme.

01

Treat the mechanism

Chronic waking is usually driven by cognitive arousal — a mind that won't clock off. We work on the actual driver, not the symptom, using evidence-based CBT-I techniques.

02

Your day shapes your night

Sleep isn't built in the bedroom alone. What happens across your waking hours — load, pace, recovery — sets up the night that follows. We work on both ends of the cycle.

03

Stop fighting sleep

The harder you chase sleep, the further it retreats. The work is to rebuild trust in your body's own capacity to rest — so sleep becomes something you allow, not something you force.

How it works

From first click to measured results.

Every patient enters through the same door — the free online diagnostic. There's no self-selecting a programme; the right path is matched to you.

Step 1

Free online diagnostic

Complete The Magnier Sleep Profile™ online — around 20 minutes. It covers your sleep history, night-time experience, daytime impact and habits, and includes a validated clinical severity measure.

Step 2

Your report & a call with Nicole

Nicole reviews your results and emails your personalised Sleep Profile, then arranges a complimentary 15-minute call — a conversation, not a sales call — to confirm the right programme for you.

Step 3

Your programme begins

You start the programme matched to your needs — eight weeks for Sleep Restoration, six for Sleep Well, Live Well. Both combine live group education, personalised module sessions and 1:1 support from Nicole.

Step 4

See your results

At the end, you re-run the diagnostic. Your ISI score and Sleep Profile are measured again — so your progress is documented, not just described.

Who it's for

Two programmes. One starting point.

Whatever stage you're at, you begin with the free diagnostic. Your results point to the programme that fits — there's no guessing, and no self-selecting.

Sleep Restoration

Persistent or severe insomnia

For people whose sleep has become a real source of distress — waking through the night or unable to drop off, anxious about sleep itself, and out of road with apps, supplements and sleep-hygiene rules.

Sleep Well, Live Well

Sleep optimisation & wellbeing

For people who sleep reasonably but not optimally — high performers, those navigating a demanding season of life, or anyone who wants a stronger relationship with sleep as a foundation for their days.

Outcomes

If it can't be measured, it's just a promise.

This practice treats sleep clinically — which means tracking results, not collecting compliments. Every client is scored before and after.

  • Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)
    A validated, internationally recognised clinical measure of insomnia. Scored at the start and end of every programme, so improvement is documented, not anecdotal.
  • The Sleep Profile
    A six-dimension picture of your sleep health — pattern, daytime impact, racing mind, sleep pressure, environment and habits. It visibly expands as you progress.
  • Clinical triage
    A built-in screen flags anything that needs onward medical referral — because responsible sleep care knows its own limits.

The practitioner

Nicole Magnier

Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist & Mindfulness Teacher

Nicole's method sits where clinical evidence meets genuine human care. She brings together cognitive behavioural therapy, clinical hypnotherapy and mindfulness into one personalised approach — treating not just the broken sleep, but the anxious, overactive mind beneath it.

That method has been shaped inside the NHS, where she delivers a specialist therapeutic service for a London GP practice, working with people whose stress, anxiety and insomnia haven't yielded to the usual routes. It is clinical grounding that very few private sleep practitioners can claim — and it's why her work holds up where apps and self-help leave off.

What her patients describe is rarely a technique. It's a turning point: arriving exhausted and out of options, and getting their nights — and their days — back.
