Kathryn Pinkham
Kathryn Pinkham helps organisations improve wellbeing and performance through better sleep. A sleep speaker and former NHS Insomnia Specialist, Kathryn founded The Insomnia Clinic, the UK's largest specialist insomnia service, and appears regularly on national TV and radio.


Kathryn Pinkham is a sleep expert and former NHS Insomnia Specialist who helps organisations understand how sleep affects wellbeing, performance, and productivity.
Kathryn founded The Insomnia Clinic, the UK's largest specialist insomnia service, and has spent more than 17 years helping thousands of people overcome insomnia without relying on sleeping medication. She specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line treatment recommended by NICE, and appears across national television, radio, and print as a sleep expert.
Her approach tackles common sleep myths and explains why many of the things people do to fix poor sleep can actually make it worse. She connects sleep with stress, anxiety, and performance, and covers how menopause affects sleep, which makes her talks directly relevant to employers building wellbeing and menopause support.
Audiences learn why poor sleep becomes a cycle and how to break it, how to fall asleep faster and manage a racing mind at 3am, and what organisations can do to offer meaningful, evidence-based sleep support. Kathryn's advice is clear, practical, and built on changes people can make right away.
Book Kathryn to give your people clear, evidence-based sleep advice from a specialist who has treated insomnia for more than 17 years.
Topics, sessions and talks
Poor sleep affects how people feel and function during the day, from concentration and energy to mood, resilience and performance. In this engaging talk, Kathryn Pinkham explains why sleep problems can become a cycle and how the way people respond to a bad night can keep that cycle going. Drawing on her experience as a former NHS Insomnia Specialist, she separates sleep fact from fiction and shares practical, evidence-based strategies to help audiences sleep better and perform better.
Sleep can change significantly during menopause, with night sweats, hormonal changes, anxiety and changes to sleep patterns all contributing to disrupted nights. In this practical and reassuring talk, Kathryn Pinkham explains what is really happening to sleep during menopause and, importantly, what can be done about it. Attendees will learn how to understand the changes in their sleep, avoid common mistakes that can make insomnia worse, and discover the practical changes they can make right away to improve their sleep.

To book Kathryn Pinkham, email kathryn.pinkham@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Kathryn's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
