Insomnia Support & Sleep Meditations

Guided visualisation for winding down
Issi uses calming imagery and full-body sensory awareness to guide your attention away from the demands of the day. The focus is on creating space to rest, without pressure to fall asleep.

Brain Pattern Interruption (BPI)
We use BPI techniques to introduce a pause or shift in attention when familiar thought loops arise. Combined with grounding and gentle visualisation, this offers a way to practise responding differently to bedtime overthinking.

Who this support may suit

You may be looking for support when you feel tired but mentally alert, carry emotional tension into the evening, or struggle to switch off after a busy day. No meditation experience is needed.

What happens during a session?

We begin by discussing your evenings, the thoughts or feelings that make settling difficult, and what you would like support with. Issi then guides you through personalised visualisation, body awareness and comfortable breathing practices.

You can stay seated or reclined, keep your eyes open, pause or adjust any practice. You do not need to describe painful memories in detail. We finish by exploring a manageable wind-down practice for use between appointments.

Sleep meditations through TatMooda

TatMooda offers Issi’s guided visualisation meditations for ongoing personal practice. Ask Issi which available meditations may suit your relaxation goals and bedtime routine. App access is separate from clinic appointments.

When insomnia needs clinical care

These sessions offer complementary relaxation and wellbeing support, rather than diagnosis or treatment of a sleep disorder. If sleep difficulties persist or affect your daytime functioning, speak with your GP. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a recommended first-line treatment for chronic insomnia.

Read the RACGP guidance on CBT-I.

For Zoom, choose a quiet, private space with a comfortable seat and a reliable internet connection. Let Issi know about any comfort or mobility needs so the practices can be adapted.
