Meet Allie
Allie Lewis - Sleep Therapist & founder of Wide Asleep
A highly skilled and experienced Sleep Therapist and Specialist Coach with a solid academic background.
I’m a Sleep Specialist with extensive experience in treating adults with sleep problems and a background of more than twenty years’ experience in promoting health and wellness in the NHS. As part of the first NHS Therapist-led Insomnia Clinic in England for over six years, I am one of the most experienced therapists in delivering CBTi in the country.
It’s always been important to me to work with people and I love the challenge of helping someone reach their potential whatever their situation. During my career, I have worked in collaboration with local businesses, education providers, community groups and the voluntary sector to develop and run (sometimes award-winning!) health and wellness programmes in the workplace. As a qualified Occupational Therapist, I worked in a clinical role in cancer care for nine years.
Since specialising in Sleep, I’ve helped hundreds of adults with many different types of sleep problems. In every case, my priority is always on improving quality of life; working with whatever circumstances or situations someone might be facing to inspire confidence, motivation and a belief that goals can be achieved.

Outlook:
I believe there is always a way forward - sometimes we need someone to help us find it, and sometimes we need someone to guide us through it. There is no ‘one size fits all’ in creating or restoring healthy sleep patterns - everyone has a different experience, and this is the starting point and the understanding on which each interaction is based.
Coaching Style:
Genuine, Insightful, Empathetic
Most Grateful for:
My family and friends - and working in a profession that helps people to live better lives
Proudest Achievement:
My happy, capable and kind-hearted daughters - and surviving the heartbreak of loss.
