Online Hypnotherapy

Max Kirsten is also known as the The Sleep Coach, and for his natural drug-free approach in treating chronic insomnia in London, and other anxiety related sleep issues and conditions. He often works in collaboration with many sleep specialists, including the London Sleep Centre in Harley Street, W1 London.

The first part of your Online Sleep Coaching Session will be for Max to ask you sleep and insomnia-related questions, and also personal health and lifestyle questions. During your session he will be making detailed notes to identify the type of sleep problem, whether long or short term, a difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or both.

The second part of your online sleep coaching session will be to outline his own unique form of ‘Mindfulness’ based Autogenic Sleep Training for Insomnia (AST-I), combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, (CBT-I), and also Acceptance Commitment Therapy for Insomnia, (ACT-I), plus learning the rules of sleep hygiene.

A number of further follow-up Online Sleep Coaching Sessions will usually be required, (usually 2-3), to fine-tune the approach, and track your sleep progress. Max will also want you to keep a sleep diary, and to practice his ABC of Better Sleep, and many other techniques to improve falling asleep, and if waking in the night being able to fall back asleep more easily. At the end of your session you will have time for review and feedback.

Max often recommends blood tests to check on hormone, mineral, and vitamin imbalances that often cause or increase sleep maintenance. Although Max’s approach is 100% drug-free, he often usually recommends taking a list of natural sleep supplements as part of his 'multi-modal’ holistic approach to better sleep. Advice given is always tailored specifically for each individual client.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia or (CBT-I), for short, is a sleep and Insomnia technique that trains people to use techniques that address the mental (or cognitive) and physical factors that are associated with insomnia. CBT-I is highly evidence based, and considered to be the gold standard for the successful treatment of insomnia. CBT-I is a completely different to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or (CBT), which is used most often for depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.

He has also just written his second book 'How To Sleep' to be published in 2022. For more information visit www.thesleepcoach.co.uk
