About us
At Somnispace Psychology, we provide evidence-based psychological care for adults and adolescents experiencing challenges such as anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and mood disturbances. Our practice integrates nervous-system-informed approaches with both traditional and contemporary therapies.
Led by psychologist and meditation teacher Cassandra Carlopio, Somnispace Psychology draws on a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, and mindfulness-based techniques. These methods are tailored to support each client’s individual needs and circumstances.
Sessions are delivered via secure telehealth (Zoom), making it possible to access psychological support from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in Australia.
At Somnispace Psychology, our focus is on creating a safe and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, build effective coping strategies, and work towards improved wellbeing.

What We Stand For
At Somnispace Psychology, we believe quality rest is a foundation for life and wellbeing—not a luxury. We’re here to help you reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms, unwind patterns of stress, and restore deep, nourishing sleep. Grounded in compassion, science, trauma-informed tools and nervous system wisdom, we support lasting change from the inside out.
We value a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to health and wellbeing. When appropriate, we refer to and consult with other practitioners to ensure holistic care. We also actively participate in—and contribute to—ongoing professional development alongside other allied health professionals.
We also believe that quality care should be accessible to everyone. To support this, one session per week is reserved for a concession client at a reduced fee.
