In this episode of The Silent Epidemic by Omnia Therapy, host Hatice Mehmet-Quirk sits down with trauma psychologist Dr Kat Aguilera to explore the hidden psychological risks inside high-pressure organisations.
With over 14 years of frontline clinical experience across the NHS crisis response system, HM Prison Service, emergency services, and military settings, Dr Kat specialises in psychological risk management for organisations where the stakes are high and the pressure never stops.
Together, they unpack why traditional wellbeing initiatives often fail in environments like emergency services, prisons, and the military — and what leaders should actually be doing to protect their people before crisis hits.
Dr Kat also shares insights from her work treating frontline trauma, discusses the difference between single-incident trauma and cumulative exposure, and explains why organisations must treat psychological risk with the same seriousness as physical safety.
The conversation also explores the future of trauma treatment, including Dr Kat’s work developing intensive trauma therapy for veterans through Vanguard CIC, designed to reach those who cannot access traditional long-term therapy.
This is a powerful discussion about leadership, responsibility, prevention, and the realities faced by those working in the most demanding systems.
