About Me
I am a qualified Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex case management, trauma-informed care, and therapeutic intervention.
My practice is rooted in empowerment, somatic grounding, and nature-based wellbeing. By taking therapy beyond four walls, I combine evidence-based social work practices with guided nature connection, offering a safe, restorative space for clients to reduce stress, regulate their nervous system, and build meaningful lives on their own terms.
Evidence-Based Wellbeing & Forest Therapy
-
The Practice: Guided by INFTA standards, Forest Therapy is a evidence-based practice designed to reduce stress, regulate the nervous system and boost mental clarity.
-
Workplace Wellbeing: Facilitated 3-hour immersive sessions for teams and organisations focused on burnout prevention, stress mitigation, and team cohesion in high-pressure sectors.
-
Community Groups: Guided community walks across the Coffs Coast (minimum 4 participants) exploring the therapeutic benefits of slow-paced, sensory nature immersion.
-
Nervous System Regulation: Sessions run for a minimum of 2 hours to allow sufficient time for the body to transition from a stress response into a state of restorative calm.
-
Trauma-Informed Care: Every session, whether in a 1:1 clinical setting, an NDIS capacity-building walk, or a corporate group, is delivered through a trauma-informed lens, to ensure psychological safety for all participants.
"Thank you, Tenille, for the experience you provided on Sunday morning. It was so refreshing.
I have walked the same path and shared the joy of being in nature with my children so many times but to fully experience and connect in a way that was purely for my own enjoyment was something I didn’t know I needed but now don’t think I will ever forget. Each time I reflect on that morning a smile crosses my face and I remember myself.
Your presence was wonderfully grounding and calming, full of acceptance and void of expectation. It was so easy to walk silently alongside you and be guided gently to fully immerse my senses in the beauty around me.
I look forward to joining you again in the future."
