MIND LOGISTICS· PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY RECOVERY
What happened at work
was real.
And there is a clinical pathway forward —
most people just never reach it.
I need support for myself
Legal, Medical, or HR professional
"Psychological injury is still treated as a personal failing in most workplaces.
It isn't. It's a legitimate workplace injury —
with a clinical diagnosis, a treatment pathway,
and a right to support."
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE CALLED IT THAT
Most people who reach this page don't open with a diagnosis.
They open with something that sounds more like this:
"I can't go back. I've tried, and I just can't."
"I used to be good at my job. Now I can't concentrate for more than twenty minutes."
"I wake up dreading the day and I don't know how to explain that to anyone."
"Everyone else seems fine. I don't understand why I'm not fine."
"Something happened at work and I haven't been the same since."
If any of that sounds familiar — you're in the right place.
Psychological injury at work can follow bullying, harassment, discrimination, traumatic incidents, chronic pressure without support, or a workplace that ground you down over time. It doesn't have to involve a single dramatic event.
Cumulative harm is still harm.
THE FRAMING THAT KEEPS PEOPLE STUCK
When a person breaks their arm at work, nobody questions whether it's real.
Psychological injury is different. The pressure — often internal, sometimes external — is to minimise it.
To push through. To wonder if you're just not resilient enough.
That framing is clinically inaccurate. And it delays recovery.
Psychological injury changes the way the nervous system works. It affects concentration, sleep, mood, decision-making, and the capacity to feel safe — at work, or anywhere near work. These are not personality flaws. They are measurable clinical presentations with established treatment pathways.
The longer the injury goes unaddressed, the longer and more complex recovery becomes.
WHAT THE PATHWAY FORWARD LOOKS LIKE
Recovery has a structure.
Recovery from psychological injury is not linear, and it doesn't look the same for everyone. But it does have a structure — and working with a psychologist who understands both the clinical side and the system side makes a significant difference.
STAGE 01
Stabilisation
Getting you to a place where you can function day to day without the injury running the room.
STAGE 02
Processing
Working through what happened, at a pace that doesn't re-traumatise. Evidence-based, structured, and led by what you're ready for.
STAGE 03
Rebuilding
Identity, confidence, capacity — and in many cases, a relationship with work that feels safe again.
STAGE 04
Future planning
Whether that's a return to work, a change of direction, or something you haven't figured out yet — we work it out together.
Sessions are available via telehealth across Australia,
and in-person at Southport, Gold Coast. WorkCover treatment plans accepted. Medicare Mental Health Care Plans also available for clients accessing support outside of a compensation claim.
WORKERS COMPENSATION
WorkCover, Workers Compensation Claims
If your injury occurred at work, you may be entitled to funded psychological treatment through your state's workers compensation scheme.
WorkCover enquiries are welcome. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies, reach out — navigating the system is part of what I help with.
I work with clients on WorkCover treatment plans including:
-
Queensland — WorkCover Queensland
-
New South Wales — icare / SIRA
-
Other states — via relevant schemes
-
Self-insured employers
Medicare Mental Health Care Plans are also accepted for clients seeking support outside of a formal compensation claim.
WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME
Three perspectives
most practitioners don't hold.
I'm Tenneile Manenti, a Registered Psychologist specialising in workplace mental health and psychological injury recovery. I bring three perspectives to this work that most practitioners don't hold simultaneously — and it changes how I practice.
AS A CLINICIAN
I treat it
I work with psychological injury in practice every week. I understand the clinical presentation, the recovery arc, and what actually helps — not just what looks good in a treatment plan.
AS A FORMER ADMINISTRATOR
I managed it
I managed workers' compensation at an organisational level. I understand how the system works from the inside — and how to help you navigate it without getting lost in it.
AS A FAMILY MEMBER
I've lived it
I've personally navigated a serious workplace injury claim. I know what it feels like on the other side of the desk — and I won't minimise what you're carrying.

FOR REFERRERS & LEGAL PROFESSIONALS
Supporting a client
with a workplace injury?

What I offer:
-
Psychological assessment and treatment for work-related psychological injury
-
WorkCover treatment plans and clinical progress reporting

Experience navigating compensation systems alongside clinical treatment — not separate from it

Referral process
A referral letter or brief clinical summary is welcomed but not required to get started. Your client can self-refer directly, or you can reach out on their behalf to discuss the case before a referral is made.
I'm happy to speak briefly with treating GPs or legal representatives where clinically appropriate and with client consent.

You don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out. Most people don't. If something happened at work and you haven't been the same since — that's enough to start the conversation.
