Taz Thornton is one of the UK’s most respected voices in the field of mental health, wellbeing and empowerment. Known as the ‘pink powerhouse’, she has built an award-winning career helping individuals and organisations to break through fear, find their voice and embrace authenticity. Taz’s lived experience gives her a uniquely powerful voice on mental health: having survived domestic abuse, battled depression and faced life-threatening crisis, she now uses those lessons to help others. Her raw, real-life story of bouncing back from a broken back and emotional rock bottom is the foundation of a speaking career that is both inspirational and transformational.
Named the UK’s Best Female Coach and a 2024 LinkedIn Top Voice, Taz blends her deep understanding of personal branding, visibility and confidence with hard-won wisdom in mental resilience. She is the Founder of #UnleashYourAwesome, a series of empowerment events that have energised corporate teams and individuals across the UK. A certified NLP coach who trained with the same team who taught Tony Robbins, she also incorporates firewalking and extreme empowerment exercises into her talks and workshops – helping people to confront fear and come out stronger. Her TEDx talks, including “A Dangerous Rainbow” and “The Importance of Being Silly”, continue to receive acclaim for their fearless honesty and insight.
As an accomplished author of “Unleash Your Awesome” and “Whispers From The Earth”, Taz provides practical tools to move from breakdown to breakthrough. She’s also a sought-after voice in the media, having written for Metro and featured in The Mirror and Chat Magazine, speaking out about issues like LGBTQ+ discrimination, burnout and ADHD in women. Her official talk topics, such as “Burnout and Breakdown – How to Spot It and Stop It” and “How Breaking My Back Led to Growing a Spine”, tackle the mental health conversation head-on, offering audiences compelling, actionable change.
Whether speaking to global corporations or grassroots organisations, Taz Thornton brings a rare combination of authenticity, humour and emotional depth. Her impact is lasting, her delivery unforgettable. To empower your people to face challenges with courage and thrive in their personal and professional lives, hire Taz Thornton via The Mental Health Speakers Agency.
