Services at Sense Psychology
Sense Psychology provides trauma-informed psychological services for adults, delivered via telehealth. Services include ongoing therapy, time-limited trauma intensives, and adult ADHD and Autism (ASD) assessments. All work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-focused approaches and tailored to the individual.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed therapy is offered for adults seeking ongoing psychological support for emotional, relational, and trauma-related difficulties. Therapy is guided by each client’s capacity, goals, and needs, with session frequency collaboratively discussed and adjusted over time. While sessions are often suggested on a weekly or fortnightly basis, pacing is flexible and tailored to support safety, integration, and meaningful progress.
Giulia’s approach draws on trauma-informed therapies including Schema Therapy and EMDR, alongside emotion-focused, somatic-based, compassion-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches. Therapy is grounded in warmth and collaboration, with an emphasis on helping clients develop greater awareness of internal experiences, patterns, and responses that may be contributing to ongoing distress.
Ongoing therapy may be particularly suited to clients seeking depth-oriented, relational work, support with long-standing patterns, or a consistent therapeutic space to explore difficulties and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
Trauma Intensives (EMDR & Imagery Rescripting)
Trauma intensives are structured, time-limited interventions designed to support focused therapeutic work over a shorter and more concentrated period. This format may be suited to individuals who are seeking targeted work on specific trauma-related experiences or long-standing, stuck patterns, rather than ongoing weekly therapy.
Trauma intensives at Sense Psychology utilise EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and Imagery Rescripting, delivered within a trauma-informed and somatically informed framework.
EMDR is an evidence-based trauma therapy that supports the processing of distressing or overwhelming memories that have not been fully integrated. Through guided attention and bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity associated with past experiences and supports new, more adaptive ways of holding these memories.
Imagery Rescripting involves working directly with emotionally charged memories and the meanings attached to them, supporting clients to revisit and reshape these experiences in a way that promotes safety, self-compassion, and change in deeply held beliefs.
Trauma intensives are conducted as:
a single focused session, or
multiple sessions delivered over a shorter timeframe (for example, two to three sessions per week),
A thorough assessment and preparation process is completed prior to commencing an intensive to ensure this approach is appropriate.
Trauma intensives are not suitable for all presentations, and suitability is discussed carefully before booking.
Adult ADHD & Autism (ASD) Assessments
ADHD and Autism (ASD) assessments are offered for adults seeking diagnostic clarity and a clearer understanding of their cognitive, emotional, and behavioural experiences. Assessments may be conducted as ADHD-only, ASD-only, or a combined ADHD and ASD assessment, depending on individual presentation and referral questions.
Assessments are conducted via telehealth and typically take place over three to four 50-minute sessions, including:
two to three assessment sessions, and
one feedback session.
The assessment process includes a comprehensive clinical interview, standardised assessment measures, and consideration of developmental history and current functioning. At the conclusion of the assessment, clients receive a brief, one-page diagnostic outcome letter confirming diagnostic findings and recommendations.
Where a more detailed psychological report is required (for example, for workplaces, universities, or other services), a comprehensive written diagnostic report can be arranged for an additional fee. This option is discussed prior to commencing the assessment to ensure clarity around expectations.
It is important to note that psychologists are unable to prescribe medication. Individuals seeking an assessment specifically for medication purposes are encouraged to consult directly with a psychiatrist, who is able to assess and prescribe where appropriate.
