Grace da Camara
Registered PsychologistGrace is a registered psychologist specialising in working with parents of children of all ages, with ADHD, as well as partners of individuals with ADHD.
Her passion for working with ADHD comes from experiencing its impact on her own family.
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”.
