Our Why
Where our purpose began - It's always been about people and progress
...that helping people is one of the most valuable things you can do with your life.
Growing up on a farm in rural New South Wales, we learned the importance of care, consistency, and community early on. Our grandfather was the local vet, our mother a nurse - both devoted to helping others, no matter the hour or the challenge. From an early age, we were part of that rhythm: watching, helping, and learning that real progress starts when you roll up your sleeves and show up for people.
That belief became the foundation of everything we do.
We were raised to believe that our work should mean something
Our careers took us in different directions - from business leadership to clinical mental health and wellbeing - but the heart of our work has always been the same:
Helping people and organisations grow with clarity and purpose by turning their strengths into progress.
For Kate, years spent leading teams across Australia and varied industries, taught her that the strongest businesses are built on people who feel seen valued and supported. When a cancer diagnosis later reshaped her perspective, she discovered the deeper truth: growth isn’t just about outcomes, it’s about courage, accountability, and living with purpose.
For Emma, three decades in mental health, counselling, and leadership showed her that even in times of struggle, people have everything they need within them - they just need the right guidance, structure, and belief to find their way forward.
together, we founded taylor collaborative because we wanted to bring our shared expertise home, and offer the kind of help that creates real, lasting progress.
Our work combines strategy, systems, and support, blending corporate insight with therapeutic care to help people move from complexity to clarity.
No matter who we work with, our “why” will always be the same:
To help people grow with confidence, connect with their purpose, and take meaningful steps forward -
one conversation, one plan, one person at a time.
