Dr Stuart Sadler is the Director and Lead Clinical Psychologist at York Therapy Clinic, specialising in depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
He is one of the few UK-based psychologists trained to offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and has worked with clients across the world to help them achieve lasting improvements in their sleep.
Alongside his sleep work, Stuart supports clients with a broad range of difficulties including trauma, panic, OCD, anger management, and bereavement, drawing on over a decade of clinical experience in both NHS and private settings.
