The Better Sleep Clinic NZ Reviews 12

I worked with Dan from the Better Sleep Clinic after having had terrible sleep patterns for the last five years. I'm a perimenopausal woman who just accepted that my lack of sleep was just something I had to get used to. I've tried all kinds of remedies, medications, Dr visits - you name it, I've probably tried it! Dan listened to me, and together we worked on improving my sleep. I'm happy to report that I have been able to consistently extend the duration of my sleep and that this has had a hugely positive impact on the rest of my life.

I struggled with sleep for years and this was sorted in five sessions by Dan Foord. I did not think that this is possible. Thanks Dan, you were amazing.

The Better Sleep Clinic has been a game changer for me. After 30 years of sleep struggles I have finally learnt how to sleep well!
Pros: reasonable cost, great coach (Dan), science based approach which makes complete sense, and best of all great results.
Cons: none

The sleep psychologist that worked with me was fantastic; approachable, educating, and realistic about what is needed and possible. Dan figured out what my main issue was right off the bat and after a couple of months coaching (and some mahi on my end - change is never effortless) I'm now sleeping a healthy amount, with strategies in place to help me back when sleep goes awry again.

But its not just that. Dan helped me get free from the guilt of being a bad sleeper, like it was some sort of failing. And, even better, I'm now free of having to plan my entire evening around trying to get to sleep. It was such a psychological burden. Getting rid of that is probably equally relieving as actually getting the extra sleep.

You do NOT need to live constantly sleep deprived! It is NOT normal. Seriously, I didn't realise how much it had dampened my mood until after I got consistently improved sleep.

Thank you Dan!

I started seeing Stafford at The Better Sleep Clinic 15 weeks ago, and when I say it's the best thing I’ve ever done, I mean it.

With the stresses of life I started to develop insomnia, it progressively got worse to the point where I felt like I’d not slept for nights on end. I knew there had to be a fix, I just didn't have the tools to do it.

I'd tried, sleeping pills, naturopaths, health shop remedies, taking time off work, doctor visits and nothing seemed to work, and if it did work it wouldn't be for a substantial period of time.

Then I found The Better Sleep Clinic. From my second appointment I’d already noticed drastic improvements in my sleep. Stafford was so knowledgeable and kind, and for the first time I felt like someone genuinely understood what I was going through.

He gave me practical, evidence-based tips and tricks I could do to deal with the physical and emotional side of insomnia; knowledge I will forever be grateful for and have with me for the rest of my life.

I could write a whole novel on why I think this is the bee’s knees but will leave it here, 10/10 couldn't recommend it enough.

One tip from me is, try to go into it with the right mindset and be willing to apply the tips and tricks given (which I’m sure you'll be willing to try anything to fix your sleep haha)

Dan has been a good friend and mentor who diagnosed my situation and gave a structured approach to get back to my new normal self. He helped me to work through insomnia, weaning out of sleeping pills, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and depression. He has given me enough tools to cope if it re-occurs. His approach was to live a richer life rather than just curing symptoms. He was scientific about emotions and thoughts which rule us from the inside. My fear about sleep and outside jargon of sleeping 8 hrs a day, cardiac health etc was completely wiped up and clarified.

As a mother with three small children when pre natal and post natal anxiety my sleep was significantly impacted often having nights of no sleep and trying to continue being a parent to my newborn and other children. When this became too hard I reached out to Dan for help with addressing my insomnia. Dan was amazing from the very first appointment. His understanding and empathy of what I was going through and experiencing was amazing and he addressed all my concerns, always making sure each appointment focused on what would support me the most moving forward.
Dan helped me and my family so much its actually hard to articulate. He enabled and empowered me to get my own life back on track and address my insomnia and create a toolbox I can utilise should I ever need to again.

The whole experience was great, from the initial consultation and through the process. Dan explained everything well, didn't overcomplicate things and was easy to talk to. Most importantly he was able to give me a solution to my sleep problem. After years of disrupted sleep, it felt like a miracle to me.

Worked with Dan over the past couple of months helping my Insomnia & sleep anxiety. Dan is very knowledgable & was able to provide insights in to reasons behind my feelings/issues and most importantly, how to deal with them to ensure I get better night sleeps. I now go to sleep much faster & stay asleep most the night :) Thanks Dan!

After dealing with insomnia/sleep disturbances for the last 5-6years I thought that this would be me for the rest of my life. Having big anxieties and stress around my sleep pattern + routine. I was quite skeptical when I decided to reach out for help as I didn't think this was something that could be fixed. However, straight after the first session with Dan something clicked and everything he said made sense! Highly recommend Dan if you are unsure + sitting on the fence like I was, I can now go to bed relaxed and most importantly get to sleep quickly.

Brilliant service, Dan was there pretty much instantly when we needed it the most. Great practical help and sound advice. Thank you for you have done to help!

From a referral, Dan kindly picked the reigns up in early Jan (vacation time). We had a great initial scoping session which got to the key issue and laid out a structure process to follow and apply. Here we are 6 weeks later and the goal is realised. Dan is very knowledgeable and supportive and has a great relaxed and feedforward approach with clients. The incremental practical tools provided go beyond sleep and are transferrable to other areas of life. It was also good to pick up new learning along the journey that are useful life skills. Keep up the great work.
