Dr Louise Baker-Martins

I am a Clinical Psychologist, certified Behavioural Sleep Medicine Specialist and Mindfulness Practitioner providing support for clients struggling with sleep and associated stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. 

I have many years of experience working with sleep through a research PhD and clinical practice and understand well the complex interactions with mental and physical health. Through a comprehensive assessment process I work with my clients to make sense of their sleep distress. Our shared understanding guides the personalised treatment approach and we work towards better sleep, wellbeing and vitality. I offer evidence-based interventions for young people and adults including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Focussed Therapy. 

In my NHS role I work in a physical health setting (hospital based) and have experience helping patients with a range of physical health conditions as well as supporting staff with their sleep and mental health. I work in a very collaborative way with my clients, alongside them in the process of discovery and change.
