The Mental Health Mentor

Supporting leaders and organisations to flourish, thrive and stay mentally healthy

Cat Taylor the Mental Health Mentor

Hi, I’m Cat,

I offer bespoke mentorship and mental health training to help organisations and leaders all over the world thrive, flourish and stay mentally well so that they can get back to the most important job of all - carrying out the work they once felt so passionate about!

You’re an organisation with a powerful mission - to shake things up, do something different and make an impact. Maybe you're a non-profit striving for social change, a small business aiming for sustainable growth, or a school nurturing leaders of tomorrow.

But with 2.83 million people in the UK alone currently on long term sick leave and economists predicting an unprecedented impact on productivity and long term growth, staying mentally well and creating sound and supportive organisational cultures isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity.

So if you’re fed up with unsatisfactory staff wellbeing surveys and desperate to recruit, retain and nurture robust, resilient and enthusiastic staff whilst maintaining your own sanity (and perhaps even having a life outside of work) then look no further - I’m here to help.

Why you should work with me

Because I’ve been in your position and I know just how tough it is. 

I have over 2 decades of experience working within the non-profit, private and public sectors and have carried out a variety of roles, from Team Leader to acting CEO. But the system’s broken and we currently live in a world that continually tells us we’re not doing the job right unless we’re exhausted, overwhelmed and working overtime every night of the week.

But what I know from my background as a Psychotherapist is that if we keep giving 110% then eventually something will break, whether that’s your motivation for the job, the enthusiasm of your staff or your own mental (and physical) health.

So whether you’re a sole trader feeling swamped by the weight of keeping your business afloat, an SME or school looking for some bespoke mental health training, a Non-Profit or NGO desperate to keep your staff focused on what really matters or an Executive Leader who’s starting to realise you can’t do it all on your own, I’ve got you covered.

Cat Taylor Leadership Mentor

If you identify with any of the following then we’d be a perfect match:

  • You want to take your business to the next level, but poor staff turnover is starting to impact negatively on organisational culture

  • Your company is growing fast and you want to keep your mission front and centre, without it being diluted by disenfranchised and dissatisfied staff teams

  • You want to give work your all and have a life outside of the office, but fear everything will crumble if you’re not available 24/7

  • You’re a leader or senior manager who wants to focus on the tasks that matter rather than sorting out squabbling staff teams

  • Your staff wellbeing survey suggests high rates of presenteeism and burnout but you’re committed to turning things around - you just don’t know how

  • You have an ever-growing workforce of neurodiverse staff but are at a loss as to how you can best support them
