Dr Claire Jack joins us as a speaker for the 2026 UKHC. Claire will present “Hypnotherapy for Sleep Disorders: Evidence-Based Strategies and Practical Clinical Tools”
The Presentation:
Sleep difficulties are a major contributor to many of the concerns clients seek hypnotherapy for, including anxiety, low mood, chronic pain, and weight-related challenges. Yet, despite a strong and growing evidence base for hypnotherapy in the treatment of sleep disorders, many clinicians still address sleep with generic relaxation alone. While this may reduce arousal and stress, it often overlooks the breadth of sleep presentations, including nightmares, circadian rhythm/sleep phase disorders, and insomnia.
This presentation offers a clear, clinically usable overview of common sleep disorders, with a structured approach to identifying the nature of a client’s sleep difficulty from intake. Attendees will learn assessment strategies to identify a broader range of sleep difficulties, including nightmares and circadian rhythm/sleep phase disorders, and to differentiate between presentations.
It then translates the research into practical, tailored interventions, including directed dreaming, hormone-informed mind:body approaches, and skills-based strategies that build client self-efficacy and support lasting change.
