Tenarra Campey

Tenarra Campey has an extensive background in community mental health and disability services. She currently works as a Behaviour Support Practitioner, where she conducts functional behaviour assessments and develops trauma-informed, person-centred support plans for clients with developmental disabilities and complex needs. Her previous leadership roles involved coordinating recovery and mental health programs, supervising multidisciplinary teams, and fostering resilience in communities affected by crisis. Tenarra also serves on the Australian Psychological Society’s Student Committee, reflecting her commitment to advancing inclusive, ethical, and evidence-informed practice within psychology.

Tenarra has completed an Honours degree in Psychological Science at Southern Cross University, where her research examines dissociation in high and low camouflaging clients with elevated autistic traits. Her work contributes to a growing understanding of how neurodiversity and dissociative processes intersect, particularly in individuals who mask or modify autistic traits in social contexts. Tenarra’s research is guided by an interest in the nuanced ways that trauma, identity, and adaptation shape psychological functioning.
