💚 Our Organisational Culture
At Free Rein Wellbeing and our sister organisation Free Rein Adventure, our people are at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that the quality of the experiences we offer begins with the quality of the culture we create together.
Our team culture is grounded in connection, reflection, and shared values. We work collaboratively, supportively, and with genuine care for one another. Every staff member — from directors, counsellors, psychotherapists to facilitators, support workers, animal co-facilitators to maintenance and animal support staff — is valued equally as part of the herd.
We encourage open communication, creativity, and curiosity. We recognise that our best work happens when people feel psychologically safe, supported, and free to bring their authentic selves to the team.
We celebrate diversity, personal growth, and integrity — understanding that the same relational principles we apply in our therapeutic work also guide how we treat one another.
We are reflective practitioners who prioritise:
• 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Mutual respect and inclusion — everyone’s voice matters
• 🌱 Ongoing learning and supervision — growth is continuous
• 💬 Honest, compassionate communication — feedback is shared openly
• 🔥 Collaboration and creativity — ideas are welcomed and explored
• 🌿 Balance and wellbeing — we care for ourselves and each other as we care for our clients
Whether we’re holding space in the paddock, in the therapy room, or out in nature, our team leads with empathy, integrity, and a shared commitment to growth — for our clients, our organisation, and ourselves.
