About Me

My name is Katy and I am the founder of Mentality Always. 

I started this company as I, my family and people I know all fit into the groups that want to know more about mental health. 

I have Bipolar, diagnosed in 2022, although I have had symptoms since (approximately) 2004. I always put down my feelings to being a normal teenager, under stress from school, uni, work etc. There was always another explanation other than... my mental health. 

It took me 18 years to finally say, this isn't right I need to see my GP,  and that started the whole ball rolling. I started medication, found out as much information so I could understand my symptoms and triggers and went from there, and I am still on my journey of understanding myself to this day.

At the beginning of 2021 I started training as a Ambulance Technician and saw the massive gaps in knowledge so many people had surrounding mental health, if this information was easily available I believe more people would be in a better place with their mental health. 

Mental health and helping myself and others improve their mental health by education and finding what works for the individual is a passion i have had for many years and will have for many more to come. 

I am currently at university studying Paramedic Science and hope to gain my registration at the end of 2024/.
