How it Works
1
Choose your appointment
Book a medication consultation or an initial sleep assessment online. Unsure which service suits you? Get in touch and I’ll help you choose.
2
Tell me about yourself
Complete your pre-appointment form and share your medicines, concerns and goals.
3
Meet with Gwen
Join your telehealth appointment from a private, comfortable space. We’ll take time to understand your experience, answer questions and explore your options.
4
Make a plan together
We’ll agree on practical next steps tailored to your needs. With your consent, medication recommendations can be shared with your prescriber.
5
Stay supported
Follow-up appointments are tailored to your needs and progress. CBT-I typically involves 4–8 appointments, but some people need fewer—you won’t be committed to a fixed number of sessions.
