Lazy adult child how to handle?

Adult child does nothing.

My adult daughter is 22 years old.

She works part time only 18 hours a week at a job my wife had to get her (she works with my wife) when she was 18 because she couldn't get one herself.

She does nothing around the house on her days off, doesnt know how to drive and says shes too tired to do anything.

She has extreme some kinda weird psychosomatic issues with sensitivity to sound, smell and such even lawn mowers, all fragrances etc we tell her to get over it and she doesnt listen.

She barely does laundry and wears the same things all the time. If my wife offers to go with her to get clothes she doesnt go because my wife gets fed up with her because shes so picky with clothing, the way it feels or whatever

She has no friends and doesnt leave the house except for work. She looks homeless, her clothes look terrible. She wont get a haircut because she doesnt like the smells of a hairdressing place. it's impossible with her.

She lays in bed all day on her phone (apparently writing, shes not really into social media) . I'm fed up and my wife and I are planning to kick her out. My wife has threatened to make her work full time and all she does is say she would rather die because she doesnt like working with my wife. She says shes too scared to get a different job and doesnt know how to do anything else except the job she has now. she also says she doesnt know what other job to go to (when my wife threatens to get her fired from the job they share)

She used to do art and doesnt anymore and also quit going outside.

my wife has said shes fucked in the head and I might have to agree.

I'm tired of having a lazy adult child lazing around my house and she needs to get out. her older sibling turned out fine.

We paid for her to see a counsellor and she didnt tell us anything about what they said and seemed to get worse afterward. She doesnt tell us anything and seems to have no interests.

Shes 22 and needs to stop being lazy and get her shit together. She acts like a 10 year old and yet shes 22.

My wife is giving up on her and I am at a loss. Please any advice? edit: if we mention her problematic behavior she just asks us to kick her out then. also in school her report cards always described her as quiet, independent, doesnt askfor help and good work ethic so I dont know what the hell happened.
