After more than 20 years as an engineer and team leader in the Construction Industry, Catherine's career began to focus more on her passion to help people in the workplace, particularly those working in challenging environments that may not have accessible mental health support on hand.   

 

Realising her strengths lay in being able to connect with people in a very simple but effective manner, she was able to combine her problem solving and conversational skills to provide strategic solutions to the issues people were dealing with. Her personal journey has also influenced her approach to supporting others.

 

Catherine retrained as a Mental Health First Aider and a Wellbeing Life Coach and in 2020 she set up Blue Sky Vitality. 

 

Now, Catherine still passionately supports the Construction Industry with their workforce duty of care with regard to mental health and wellbeing but also extends this ethos to supporting manufacturing and tech start-ups as well.   

 

Living with her two daughters in Hertfordshire, she gently yet powerfully meets people where they are and loves being able to make a difference to the individuals she works with.
