- About usAt CatalystBreakthru, we have a team of well qualified and experienced coaches and mental health professionals. We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our directors. Say hello to Pedro and Emmaline: Pedro Diaz BSW, MAASW Pedro knows full well what it is to live with a mental illness. For over 10 years Pedro suffered from bipolar disorder. He knows what it feels like to wake up in the morning with a feeling of dread and hopelessness. To hear your children’s laughter as they play and not be able to share in their joy. This was Pedro’s reality for more than 10 years. These, and many experiences alike, have shaped his passion into what it is today. The past 20 years of Pedro’s life have been devoted to the development of people in both a personal development and therapeutic capacity. He has worked extensively with individuals keen on developing themselves, as well as those suffering from mental illness. Pedro has extensive experience in working with people. He is a very experienced and effective therapist and coach who loves seeing people transform not only their lives but the lives of others. Pedro is as experienced a trainer as he is a practitioner, equally at home in front of a group as he is one-on-one. Pedro is considered by many as one of Australia’s leading recovery specialists. In his work with Mental Health organisations, he has lead the design and implementation of innovative and results oriented programs. These programs have managed to attract funding and positive attention. In addition to having a Bachelor of Social Work, Pedro is a Collaborative Recovery Model Trainer, a trainer of the Mental Health First Aid, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Trainer and a Certified Ericksonian Hypnotherapist. Pedro is also a Visiting Fellow at the University of Wollongong, and Field Educator for the Australian Catholic University. Emi Golding BSc(Hons Psych)/BArts, Assoc MAPS Emi leads a team of over thirty recovery coaches for a well-respected NSW Mental Health organisation.
