My story
I’ve been where you are - burnt out, stuck, and wondering what comes next...
After 11 years in recruitment, helping hundreds of professionals build their careers, I realised I’d lost touch with my own. I hit burnout and knew something had to change.
That experience became a turning point.
I took a step back, reconnected with what truly matters to me, and made the leap to become a Career Mentor and Burnout Coach.
Now, I support high-achievers who feel exhausted, lost, or at a career crossroads - just like I was. Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s not working, and create a career (and life) that actually feels good again.
I also work with businesses to raise awareness about burnout and help you to build healthier, more human workplaces that support employees to build careers free of burnout.
If you're ready for a change, I’m here to help you find your way forward.

My Approach
My coaching style is holistic, supportive, and grounded in the belief that lasting career change starts with your overall wellbeing. I look at the whole picture, helping you reconnect with what matters most, set healthy boundaries, and build habits that support a balanced lifestyle.
Alongside practical career strategy, I weave in tools like gratitude practices, breathwork and wellness-focused activities to help you feel more grounded and energised. My process is warm, encouraging, and fun. I believe that creating a fulfilling career should feel good, not overwhelming.

"Catherine's expertise of the recruiting process and job market was invaluable. With job hunting being so important for overall satisfaction and wellbeing, I was so impressed with how well she was able to help guide me on my next career move. She was a wonderful sounding board at a time when I was at a crossroads with my next job role. During my interview period, I really benefitted from her sage advice and in depth knowledge on stepping into a new role which truly suit my needs. Couldn't recommend her highly enough!"
Grace, UK
"Over the past few months I've become increasingly aware I've reached the ceiling within my current role and need a new challenge to expand my mind and grow personally. I knew the end goal but didn't know how to get there. Catherine enabled me to dig deeper, get specific and tune into what I'm searching for within my work and life. Together we we've been able to understand exactly what's missing and what I want to welcome into my life. I'm now on the journey of applying for roles that truly fit my ideal work with the right salary and benefits, realising my true worth within an organisation. I'm feeling a lot clearer and confident now."
