Sleep Better | Live Better
We are a dedicated team of Psychologists who are passionate about improving both your Sleep and your Mental Health concerns. We serve people of all ages, cultures and welcome LGBTIQ+ and neurodiverse clients.
How We Help
At Talking Sleep & Psychology we recognise the enormous toll that lack of sleep takes on our capacity to cope. Our aim is to support poor sleepers in the initial stages of treatment with empathy and compassion. We then encourage our clients and assist them to gain confidence in their ability to manage their sleep habits independently, so that they can lead healthier, happier, and fuller lives.
Sleep Problems and Insomnia
We have specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), the gold standard treatment for Insomnia, Cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Tonia Martin is currently developing an integrated CBT-I and Compassion Focused Therapy for Insomnia.
Psychological Counselling
Talking Sleep & Psychology’s team of clinical, general, and provisional psychologists offer both in-person and Telehealth sessions to address a variety of mental health concerns. We understand that each individual’s journey is unique, which is why we take a client-centred and collaborative approach to therapy.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy at Talking Sleep & Psychology combines art-making with counseling, engaging the mind, body, and soul to give visual and symbolic expression to personal experiences. Sessions are available one-to-one, with families, and in groups.
Sleep Seminars and Workplace Training
Talking Sleep and Psychology offers workplace educational seminars focused on sleep and overall well-being. Whether your team is struggling with sleep issues, seeking strategies for maintaining healthy work boundaries, managing stress, or simply looking for basic well-being tips, we have a range of educational events tailored to suit you and your staffs needs.
We have presented to staff in a variety of workplaces in 2024 – including Real Estate companies, Medical & Allied Health Practices & webinars for Staff Health companies – we spend so many of our waking hours at work – let us help empower your staff with the means to ensure their day is healthy, happy and productive.
