Individual Therapy

Individual therapy at Sense of Soul Psychology is an invitation to slow down and turn inward. We offer a trauma-informed, affirming and supportive space to explore your experiences, understand unhelpful patterns, and develop meaningful change, guided by evidence-based approaches and authentic connection.

Therapy is not about fixing you.

It’s about understanding you and supporting the parts of you that need attention, compassion, and validation.

  • We support children (aged 10+), teens, adults, and parents through 50-minute individual sessions, available in-person or online.

  • Therapy is a collaborative, two-way process where we focus on what matters most to you. Together, we set meaningful goals and work toward them at a pace that feels right.

    Session frequency is tailored to your needs and may change over time depending on your goals and circumstances.

    We incorporate brain-based psychoeducation and practical strategies grounded in current research - helping you understand how your brain works, make sense of your emotional and behavioural responses, and build tools to navigate everyday life.

    If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, we can explore that together.

  • We are skilled and experienced to provide warm, and affirming therapy for:

    • ADHD and Autism

    • Anxiety and stress

    • Trauma and attachment concerns

    • Low mood and depression

    • Burnout and overwhelm

    • People pleasing patterns

    • Life transitions and adjustment

    • Relationship challenges

    • Low self-esteem and identity exploration

    • Sleep concerns

    • Emotional regulation difficulties

    • Feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected

    • Neurodivergent internalised and high-masking presentations

    If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for what you’re experiencing, we can explore that together.

  • Therapy remains grounded in evidence-based psychological practice.

    Depending on your needs, our work may draw from the following principles;

    • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

    • Schema Therapy

    • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

    • Trauma-informed frameworks

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • For children, sessions often include a mix of one-on-one time and parent involvement, as this can be important for progress. Parent-only sessions are also available to support you in understanding your child and building strategies at home.

    For teens, therapy is primarily individual, supporting their autonomy and confidentiality. Parental involvement occurs with the teen’s consent and focuses on supporting progress while respecting their privacy.

    The only exception to confidentiality is where there are safety concerns. In these situations, the process will always be explained clearly. More information about confidentiality and its limits is available in the FAQ section.

Neurodiversity affirming autism and/or ADHD assessments for adults


We offer comprehensive Autism and/or ADHD assessments for adults grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming approach. Our focus is on understanding your unique brain, recognising strengths, and exploring experiences that may have felt confusing, overlooked, or misunderstood.

We have particular experience in identifying and assessing internalised and high-masking presentations - including traits that may be subtle, camouflaged, or historically attributed to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or burnout. We recognise that many individuals have had to adapt to a world that often rewards masking and conformity and have learned to adapt in ways that can hide or suppress their neurodivergent traits.

You may choose to complete an ADHD assessment, an Autism assessment, or a combined Autism and ADHD assessment, depending on what feels most aligned with your needs.

Our approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative - providing a safe space to explore your social, sensory, attentional, and executive functioning experiences without judgement.

  • We offer neurodiversity-affirming ADHD assessments that go beyond diagnosis. Our focus is on understanding how your brain works, recognising your strengths, and identifying practical supports that can make a meaningful difference in daily life, study, or work.

    Our assessments combine clinical interviews, standardised questionnaires, and behavioural observations to build a well-rounded picture of your experiences. Throughout the process, we take a warm and compassionate approach, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and respected in a safe, supportive space without judgment.

    Booking & Intake
    After booking your assessment, you’ll receive initial forms and standardised questionnaires to complete before your appointment. These provide background information and help your psychologist prepare for your session.

    Assessment Session
    Assessments can be completed in person or via Telehealth, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. During the session, we use the DIVA-5 structured interview, which explores ADHD traits across both childhood and adulthood. Sessions typically last around two hours, and you’re welcome to have a support person join you if you wish.

    Important Details
    Please note that psychologists cannot prescribe medication or conduct medical assessments. If you are seeking medication, we recommend consulting a psychiatrist or paediatrician and confirming whether they can use our report as part of their process.

    Feedback Session
    A 50-minute session where we go through your assessment results together in a supportive and understanding space. You’ll explore your assessment & questionnaire results, reflect on how a diagnosis was confirmed (or not), and discuss any emotions or questions that arise. This session is your opportunity to feel seen, gain clarity, and receive guidance on practical next steps with your psychologist.

  • We provide neurodiversity-affirming Autism assessments, with a particular focus on internalised and high-masking presentations. Our goal is to create a supportive, compassionate space where you can explore your social and sensory experiences, gain clarity, and feel validated.

    Booking & Intake
    Before your first session, you’ll complete intake forms and questionnaires. These help gather important background information and allow your psychologist to prepare for a personalised assessment.

    Assessment Session
    The initial assessment typically lasts around 2 hours and uses the MIGDAS-2 interview to explore social and sensory experiences. If more time is needed to fully understand your traits, an optional 1-hour follow-up session may be scheduled as part of the process.

    Important Details
    While an Autism assessment provides valuable insight and clarity, it does not automatically guarantee eligibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Access to NDIS is based on multiple factors beyond diagnosis alone. Additional documentation, such as functional assessments, may be required to outline daily living impacts. We recommend speaking with an NDIS representative or disability support provider if you are considering applying.

    Feedback Session
    A 50-minute session where we go through your assessment results together in a supportive and understanding space. You’ll explore your assessment & questionnaire results, reflect on how a diagnosis was confirmed (or not), and discuss any emotions or questions that arise. This session is your opportunity to feel seen, gain clarity, and receive guidance on practical next steps with your psychologist.

    Our assessments focus on understanding your unique strengths, challenges, and support needs. This information can guide practical supports, interventions, and educational adjustments, helping you navigate daily life with greater insight and confidence.

  • Our Combined ADHD and Autism Assessment provides a warm, neurodiversity-affirming space to explore your unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. It is designed for individuals who identify with traits of both ADHD and Autism and want a clear understanding of how these may interact and impact daily life.

    Our psychologists take a compassionate, holistic approach, focusing on understanding rather than “labelling.” You’ll be supported to explore attentional, social, sensory, and communication experiences in a way that feels validating and empowering.

    Booking & Intake

Online Therapy

Support should feel safe, accessible and within reach. At Sense of Soul Psychology, we offer secure Telehealth sessions so you can engage in therapy from wherever you are - whether you are based in South Australia, or elsewhere in Australia.

You may choose Telehealth for many reasons - comfort, convenience, health considerations, travel, or simply because being in your own space feels better. Whatever your reason, your care and connection remain the same.

Sessions are offered via secure video or phone through safe and confidential platforms.

All appointments are scheduled in Australian Central Standard Time (ACST).

Research has shown that Telehealth can be just as effective as in-person therapy, creating space for meaningful connection, reflection, and growth - wherever you are.

Please note: Telehealth sessions are generally eligible for Medicare rebates under a referral from your GP. Enquire with your GP to assess eligibility.

    • Sessions take place in the comfort and familiarity of your own space, allowing you to feel more settled and at ease.

    • Greater flexibility and accessibility can make it easier to maintain consistency in your therapy journey.

    • For some, beginning therapy online can feel gentler and less overwhelming than attending in person.

    • Removing the pressures of travel, traffic, parking, or additional social interactions can help you arrive to sessions feeling calmer and more present.
