Supporting employee mental health is essential for creating a healthy, resilient, and productive workplace.
When organisations are equipped with the right knowledge and understanding, they are better able to foster open conversations around mental health and provide meaningful support to their teams. I offer bespoke mental health training designed to help organisations improve awareness, confidence, and practical skills around mental health, with a particular focus on trauma and post-traumatic stress. My training sessions are tailored to the needs of your workplace, helping managers and teams respond more effectively to mental health challenges in professional environments.
I’m Dr Kat Aguilera, an experienced, registered, and chartered counselling psychologist specialising in trauma, PTSD, and resilience.
I provide tailored mental health training for organisations across a range of sectors, including healthcare, social care, education, emergency services, and corporate environments. My approach is practical, engaging, and evidence-based, helping organisations, managers, and leadership teams build confidence in recognising and responding to mental health difficulties within the workplace.
My training and consultancy services have been trusted by organisations including NHS England, Royal Gibraltar Police, Hertfordshire Police, Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, and HM Prison Service.
Trauma & PTSD Awareness Training
Employees working in high-pressure or frontline roles are often at increased risk of experiencing trauma, stress, burnout, and PTSD-related symptoms. Without the right understanding and support, these difficulties can have a significant impact on wellbeing, communication, and workplace performance. My mental health training helps organisations improve awareness of trauma and PTSD by exploring:
• The psychological impact of trauma and chronic stress
• Common signs and symptoms of PTSD and trauma-related difficulties
• How trauma can affect behaviour, communication, and performance
• Supporting employees in a compassionate and appropriate way
• Creating psychologically safer workplace environments
• Promoting resilience and emotional wellbeing within teams
The aim of my training is to help organisations feel more confident recognising mental health difficulties and responding in a supportive, informed, and practical way.
