She has experience conducting neuropsychological assessments across the lifespan, including children, adults and older adults.

As a parent to a child with ADHD, she recognised the need for greater knowledge and education about the condition and the need for interventions that target not only the individual but the family as a whole. Grace is skilled in a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy but mostly adopts an eclectic approach – understanding each client as unique with their own particular presentation and then selecting from evidence-based techniques across different approaches in order to help the client develop a better understanding of their challenges and grow in a personally meaningful way. Grace is the author of “What Lies Beneath Matters” a series of self-help workbooks for children and adults with ADHD, as well as for parents. She also developed OnTrac, a CBT based group program for Tweens and Teens with ADHD. This program is delivered through ADHD WA in collaboration with third-year medical students from UWA who chose OnTrac as their “Services Learning project”.Dr. Andrew Sheridan

Along the way, she also completed degrees in psychology and sexology. She later worked privately as a life coach before undertaking specialised ADHD coach training. This change in direction came as a result of her experience parenting a child along a rocky road through school and into adulthood and a desire to support others who have been diagnosed with ADHD as adults. She is a trained wellness coach and a nationally registered personal trainer with an interest in current research around exercise for ADHD. As a keen aviator, Vicki sees many parallels between flying and ADHD coaching … soaring into the unknown, seeing the ground ahead from a different perspective and glorious wow moments; all with a track to follow and preparation to deal with the unexpected in a planned way. Unlike therapy, her coaching approach is future focused. By encouraging those living with ADHD to recognise and value their interests, passions and strengths, they are able to develop their own successful pathway forward; one that also acknowledges their unique flavour and experience of ADHD.Vicki Morris

If you’d like to help support our work in helping people living with ADHD in WA, we’d love to hear from you.
Fantastic and InformativeI really feel that William has gained some great skills throughout the program and the Q&A session last week was fantastic and informative. It was actually very interesting to hear some of the older kids asking questions about their own ADHD. Thank you again for allowing us to be part…
