Who is Get Mentally Fit? | Organisational Psychology

Emily Johnson – Get Mentally Fit

PSYCHOLOGIST/CO-FOUNDER MPsychOrg, BBehSc (Hon), BPsychSc

Emily Johnson doesn’t just facilitate workshops; she engineers the psychological resilience required for high-stakes leadership. As Co-Founder and Principal Psychologist at Get Mentally Fit, Emily blends 15 years of clinical expertise with the pragmatism of a business owner. She is a specialist in “vertical development” – expanding the internal capacity of leaders to navigate complexity using Neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mental Toughness frameworks.

The Clinical Advantage

Emily’s “unfair advantage” is her ability to sift. She bypasses surface-level symptoms to identify the root psychological drivers of organisational friction. By facilitating real-time “Aha” moments, she removes the cognitive load of self-directed learning, ensuring that behavioural change is immediate, applied, and sustainable.

Why Business Leaders Work With Emily

Executive-to-Executive Accountability: No junior hand-offs or call centres. You partner directly with a Co-Founder who understands the P&L impact of people-risk.

Surgical Precision: She identifies exactly what your organisation needs – even when it differs from what it wants – ensuring a high-ROI, cost-effective solution.

Defensible Compliance: She provides the clinical authority to operationalise psychosocial hazard regulations, turning a compliance burden into a competitive edge.

Strategic Challenge: Emily has the clinical confidence to challenge leadership assumptions, safeguarding your culture from “tick-the-box” mediocrity.

Personal Mental Fitness
A Gold Coast local, Emily walks her talk by weight training, coastal cycling, and hinterland drives in her Mini – always prioritising the “active recovery” she advocates for her clients.

Scott is the gatekeeper of the “Aha” moment—designing educational frameworks that allow diverse teams to navigate the psychology of success and failure with clarity.

Precision Learning Architecture: Scott ensures that your investment in training translates into actual behavioral change, not just a “day out of the office.”
