Flourish Therapy
Helping you rediscover restful sleep.
I’ve stopped doing things I enjoy because of my sleep.
I dread going to bed.
I worry about not sleeping.
Bad sleep is ruining my life.
I think I will never sleep well again.
Qualified sleep therapist
My training and experience
I am a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), which oversees my professional development and ensures I meet the highest standards of practice.
I have designed and delivered wellbeing programs, including sleep support for individuals with long-term conditions such as cancer and pancreatitis.
My work in this area led to me writing a chapter for a textbook, published in August 2023 (access here).
BSc degree in Occupational Therapy
Advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for insomnia (CBTi) from the University of Oxford
Advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and depression through the Royal College of Psychiatry
Advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Dr. Russ Harris
Postgraduate studies in Behaviour Change through the University of Derby
Personalised treatment for insomnia and sleep disorders
Sleep problems rarely exist in isolation. I work with individuals facing a range of mental and physical health conditions.
I understand the complexities of sleep disturbances within broader health concerns, and tailor my approach to your pace and priorities.
Poor sleep and neurodiversity
I support individuals diagnosed with ADHD and ASD, sleep difficulties are often intertwined with neurodiversity.
Menopause-related insomnia and sleep struggles
With the increasing recognition of menopause-related sleep struggles, I have provided talks, guidance, and tailored support to help women navigate this transitional phase of life.
I have proudly hosted two not-for-profit Living Well events focused on women in midlife and menopause.
These and other similar words have made me develop personalised sleep therapy programmes to help people improve their sleep and reclaim their lives.
Sleep therapist in Surrey
I’m Helen McNamara, a sleep therapist based in Surrey and founder of Flourish Therapy.
With experience spanning NHS sleep clinics, private practice, and my own personal insights, I understand sleep as the foundation of health and wellbeing – yet, so many struggle with sleep disorders and insomnia.
Sleep difficulties can have a profound impact on your mental health, daily routine, and productivity. I’ve witnessed the debilitating effects of poor sleep, but I’ve also celebrated with patients as they regain restful nights and rediscover their energy.
My goal is to offer compassionate, holistic sleep therapy tailored to your unique needs, helping you navigate and overcome your sleep challenges.
