Hello!
I’m Louise Berger, an Occupational Therapist and a behavioural sleep specialist.
I’m the clinical lead for the NHS Insomnia Clinic at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, which I founded in 2011, and since then I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of people with complex and long-standing sleep difficulties.
I also have extensive experience in delivering CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), the leading and most effective approach for treating insomnia.
My Story
I care deeply about my work because sleep is absolutely fundamental to wellbeing, yet so many people struggle alone or receive advice that simply doesn’t help.
When someone finally gets the right support, the change in their sleep and daily life can be profound. Being part of that transformation is one of the greatest joys of my career.
​
You don’t have to keep battling your sleep alone. I’m here to help you rediscover calm nights, energised days and confidence in your ability to sleep.
Outside of client work, I deliver lectures, workshops and training for clinicians and organisations, contribute to public sleep education, and collaborate with charities and professional bodies to improve standards in sleep care.
