Meet Catherine
Occupational Therapist |
Hi, I’m Catherine — an Occupational Therapist based in Sheffield, specialising in helping older adults stay independent, safe, and confident at home.
Quality Life Enablement grew from my years in NHS Community Services, where I saw how changes in mobility, strength, and health can affect independence, confidence and quality of life. Many older adults were left feeling unsure or worried about losing independence, and I wanted to offer more personalised, ongoing support.
I now work directly with older adults and their families, providing practical, tailored support to make everyday life easier — from building strength and balance to adapting daily tasks and improving home safety.
I have a particular passion for falls prevention, because a single fall can change someone’s life overnight. My focus is on proactive, evidence‑based strategies that reduce risk and help people stay steady on their feet for as long as possible.

What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy helps people live as independently and fully as possible, regardless of age or medical conditions.
Occupational therapy (OT) helps people of all ages participate in the activities (or "occupations") they need or want to do in their daily lives — especially when injury, illness, disability, or aging makes those activities difficult.
Occupational Therapy recognises that being able to do occupations (activities) that we need or want to do enhances wellbeing, quality of life and keeps you healthy.
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a science degree-based health and social care profession, regulated by the Health and Care Professionals Council.
