Meet the Team

Katy Thomas

CEO, Founder, Counsellor

I am a compassionate, resilient, empathetic, and deeply committed person who wants to listen and understand others. Having gone through my own profound loss and heartbreak and trying to understand and navigate what was happening to me was such a lonely time. Going through the hardest time of my life has given me so much Time,  empathy and listening skills in me for others. 

I developed Mothers Matter having gone through my own heartbreaking journey into motherhood through loss, isolation and complete despair, then having to overcome the fear of becoming pregnant again after suffering so much loss.

I didn’t want any parent to feel as isolated and alone as I did in those moments, its a dark place. No one should ever feel alone in those thoughts and times of pure desperation.
Pursuing my counselling degree provided validation; I only felt heard and understood during class discussions when I spoke about my loss. I realised the importance of creating a safe space where mothers could be heard, valued, listened to and supported. It was invaluble for me.

No mother should feel isolated in their darkest moment.

Mothers Matter was developed out of pure lived experience, a desire to bring about change and to end stigma.
