Dimitri Gavriloff

I am a Clinical Psychologist and sleep medicine specialist who sees patients with a range of sleep disorders, particularly insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. My role at the University of Oxford's Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute is divided between my academic responsibilities as the Clinical Course Tutor on the Oxford Online Programme in Sleep Medicine, and a Research Clinical Psychologist, where I provide clinical expertise and support for research within the wider Experimental and Clinical Sleep Medicine (ECSM). I also lead the Oxford Two-Day Masterclass in CBT for Insomnia, an internationally recognised clinical training for healthcare professionals in the treatment of insomnia disorder, accredited by the European Sleep Research Society (ESRS). 

My research interests are principally in the development and refinement of psychobehavioural treatments for insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, and I have a special interest in meta-cognitive or "third-wave" cognitive behavioural approaches. I am also focused on the advancement and refinement of sleep medicine education within wider clinical training pathways. I work part-time as a consultant in sleep medicine, in particular for Big Health Ltd, the company behind the digital CBT-I treatment 'Sleepio', where my work is focused on making digital CBT for insomnia scalable. I am a steering committee member and a founder of the ESRS's European Academy of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (EA-CBTI), and an ESRS Certified Somnologist. I am also a founding member of the UK Insomnia Network (UKIN).
