I am an AuDHD woman and I provide neuroaffirming counselling and guidance to support autistic and/or ADHD adults (including self-diagnosed or questioning) in taking control of their mental health and wellbeing. I help find ways to balance the daily stressors that neurodivergent people face while navigating a society that is often inaccessible and overwhelming.

I offer psychoeducation and strengthen understanding of what it means to be autistic, have ADHD, or both—especially for those diagnosed later in life.

I assist parents in understanding their neurodivergent child and provide guidance on accessing support and accommodations. I also offer information and consultancy to helping professionals who wish to better support their neurodivergent clients.

Additionally, I provide support for voice hearers.

I am available to provide clinical supervision to neurodivergent social workers or those wishing to increase their understanding of this client group through Ashton Hayes Consulting.

I have over 20 years of experience working across the community sector in disabilities and mental health. I have worked in both government and non-government organisations, and was a part of the rollout of the NDIS.

I am currently employed in crisis community mental health and assist clients ongoing in my private practice.

In my spare time I can be found working out at the gym, soaking up the sun at the beach or researching my latest special interest.
