Hi, my name is Lorraine Irlam. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor in Vancouver, BC and the founder of Insomnia Help Canada.
If struggling to fall asleep, tossing and turning at night, or waking up too early has become your norm, you are not alone.
Like you, I felt hopeless and desperate about my inability to sleep. And after a 20-year battle with chronic insomnia, I found a way to reclaim my life.
Enter cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (or CBT-I), a practical, drug-free approach backed by decades of research that addresses the causes of your sleep problems. I also find acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) to be invaluable additions to help people improve their sleep – and their quality of life.
There’s nothing more rewarding ...

Are you worried about the impact of sleeplessness on your health, relationships and career? Are you wanting to get off sleeping medication (or avoid starting it in the first place), but worried you can't sleep without it?
I help adults who are on their umpteenth night of crappy sleep, heal their natural sleep mechanism and finally get consistent sleep again, usually in just 6-8 weeks.

If you've been lying awake night after night, exhausted but unable to sleep, you already know that willpower and sleep hygiene tips aren't enough. Chronic insomnia has a way of becoming self-sustaining, the more you try to fix it, the worse it gets. CBT-I breaks that cycle by targeting the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping your sleep broken, without medication and without an indefinite course of treatment.
Most of my clients with insomnia are high-functioning adults who have been managing poor sleep for months or years, often alongside anxiety or depression. They've tried everything they can think of on their own. What they haven't tried is a structured, evidence-based approach designed specifically for the way insomnia actually works.
CBT-I is the gold-standard, first-line tre ...
