The Better Sleep Clinic

Professional and happy to help. While I am not quite there yet, I am thankful for Dan's guidance and support. His sincerity is apparent and would highly recommend him as a first step to helping with sleep problems.

Dan @ the Better sleep clinic was fantastic to work with. He provided lots of resources, examples that helped me understand my experience and reframe my thinking around sleep habits.He provided tools to not only help me take control of my immediate sleep problems, but assure me that should I stumble, I had the tools to quickly rebound.Thank you very much!

The sleep psychologist that worked with me was fantastic; approachable, educating, and realistic about what is needed and possible. Dan figured out what my main issue was right off the bat and after a couple of months coaching (and some mahi on my end - change is never effortless) I'm now sleeping a healthy amount, with strategies in place to help me back when sleep goes awry again.But its not just that. Dan helped me get free from the guilt of being a bad sleeper, like it was some sort of failing. And, even better, I'm now free of having to plan my entire evening around trying to get to sleep. It was such a psychological burden. Getting rid of that is probably equally relieving as actually getting the extra sleep.You do NOT need to live constantly sleep deprived! It is NOT normal. Seriously, I didn't realise how much it had dampened my mood until after I got consistently improved sleep.The name pretty much sums it all up perfectly: The Better Sleep Clinic.

I struggled massively with delayed sleep-phase" for as long as I could remember (10+ years)

Brilliant chat to the anaesthetists on the topic most dear to us. Dan is extremely knowledgeable, succint, and a great facilitator. We would love to learn more!

I started seeing Stafford at The Better Sleep Clinic 15 weeks ago, and when I say it's the best thing I’ve ever done, I mean it.With the stresses of life I started to develop insomnia, it progressively got worse to the point where I felt like I’d not slept for nights on end. I knew there had to be a fix, I just didn't have the tools to do it.I'd tried, sleeping pills, naturopaths, health shop remedies, taking time off work, doctor visits and nothing seemed to work, and if it did work it wouldn't be for a substantial period of time.Then I found The Better Sleep Clinic. From my second appointment I’d already noticed drastic improvements in my sleep. Stafford was so knowledgeable and kind, and for the first time I felt like someone genuinely understood what I was going through.He gave me practical, evidence-based tips and tricks I could do to deal with the physical and emotional side of insomnia; knowledge I will forever be grateful for and have with me for the rest of my life.I could write a whole novel on why I think this is the bee’s knees but will leave it here, 10/10 couldn't recommend it enough.One tip from me is, try to go into it with the right mindset and be willing to apply the tips and tricks given (which I’m sure you'll be willing to try anything to fix your sleep haha)

My experience of the Better Sleep Clinic was extremely positive. As someone with long term insomnia, the programme has completely changed the way I think about sleep & given me the tools and knowledge to change my approach & sleep well consistently. I really appreciated Dan's kind supportive guidance throughout the programme. In short, it was transformational, highly effective & I'd definitely recommend it.

Dan recently gave a highly relevant, entertaining and informative presentation to our organisation on the science behind sleep, what influences sleep and the things we can all do to help improve the quality of our sleep. Dan's style and knowledge had everyone captivated and we all left with a greater understanding of the importance of sleep on our lives, and armed with ways we can improve our own sleep.I highly recommend Dan as an expert in this area and would recommend reaching out to him if you're having any kind of issues around sleep. I have no doubt that he will be able to help you.

Dan has provided some incredible insight and advice for our rescue helicopter organisation, providing practical solutions to managing fatigue and sleep associated with shift work. Highly recommended.

Anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agroaphobia, depression, stress, insomnia with the new-born was the situation I reached out to Dan in April. Six months fast-forwarded, I am so thankful to Dan for the tools and support he provided me to work through these. I can 100% assure that my sleep is back to normal and I have stopped taking pills for sleep. With the other feelings, I can't say it has fully disappeared but Dan has given me enough tools to cope which will help me live a richer life. With Dan I felt that he was just not trying to cure the symptoms but help live a better life. He was able to quantify and guide me with the subtle aspects of emotions and thoughts which rule us from inside. Thanks Dan.
