How you're paid changes what you earn
Consumer programmes
Two to four week packages at £250-£800. Almost nobody in this field sells single sessions successfully.
Clinical (CBT-I)
CBT for insomnia is the evidence-based intervention, and CBT-I qualified practitioners charge £80-£140 per session or a higher programme fee.
Corporate wellbeing
Workshops and cohort programmes for employers, priced per programme rather than per person.
Independent day equivalent across new starts and reviews, before costs.
What raises a sleep coach salary
- CBT-I training, which is the single clearest step from wellness pricing to clinical pricing.
- Adult insomnia rather than infant sleep, where willingness to pay is higher and competition thinner.
- Cohort or group programmes, which decouple income from one-to-one hours.
- Employer contracts - sleep is one of the easiest wellbeing outcomes for an employer to justify.
