Tash Hiscock (She/Her)

Originally from Naarm Melbourne and now residing rurally on Dja Dja Wurrung country, I am a proudly Neurodivergent psychologist specialising in working with fellow Neurodivergent and Queer individuals.

My genuinely curious and unprejudiced nature helps create the safe and supportive space I hold for my clients to start opening up about the more challenging parts of their lives. 

I am dedicated to assisting my clients in achieving their goals; whether that is related to self-esteem, staying out of custody, or improving interactions with people of different neurotypes.

With ten years of clinical training and many more years of lived experience as an adult-identified Autistic ADHDer, I offer evidence-informed and trauma-informed care that respects neurodiversity and gender identity.

I work from a person-centred approach, primarily focusing on fitting the therapeutic experience to each individual. I typically use values-based work through the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework. 

I also incorporate elements from other therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to provide a comprehensive and tailored approach to mental health and personal growth.

As a staunch advocate for equitable mental health support, I do my best to help remove barriers related to cost, location, and other societal factors. If you face difficulties accessing mental health care, please let our team know. We are here to help.

With extensive experience in both private and public settings, including time at the now-closed Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre, Tash understands that the reasons contributing to someone’s legal or custodial challenges are often complex.
