Sunshine Coast Neuro Affirmative Psychologist

A neuroaffirming approach, shaped by lived experience.

Hi, I’m Camila, a Registered Psychologist and the founder of Enlighten Psychology. Originally from Brazil, I now call the Sunshine Coast home, where I provide a safe, supportive space for clients navigating ADHD, Autism, anxiety, trauma and more.

My journey into neurodivergent affirming practice began through motherhood. When my daughter Bella was born, I started noticing patterns in myself that felt familiar yet had never been fully understood, a constant mental buzz, a sense of overwhelm, a craving for stimulation and the ongoing struggle with procrastination.

This curiosity led me to explore ADHD more deeply, both professionally and personally. Between chasing a toddler and navigating everyday life, I immersed myself in learning, from podcasts to conferences to clinical training, slowly recognising how these traits shaped my own story.

Christian faith also became an important part of my journey. I was never religious, but I always had faith. Working in jails, rehabs and with people carrying deep trauma, I saw how faith gave many of them hope when their pain felt unbearable. I noticed the same in myself. After trying many psychologists, doctors and psychiatrists, there came a moment when the pain was too heavy to manage alone. Surrendering helped me find a key that unlocked healing in a way nothing else had. For me, that key is Jesus. For you, it may be something different, or you may not connect with faith at all. I fully respect your beliefs, your background and your identity. My role is simply to support you in finding whatever your own key might be, through an inclusive, compassionate approach where everyone is welcome and treated with care and safety.
