Welcome
Meet Catherine
Hi, I’m Catherine – an Occupational Therapist based in Sheffield, specialising in helping older adults stay safe, confident, and independent at home.
Live Steady grew from my experience working in NHS Community Services, where I saw how changes in strength, balance, and health can make everyday life more difficult. Many people felt worried about falling or losing their independence, and I wanted to offer more personalised support.
I now work directly with older adults and their families, providing practical, tailored support at home – from improving strength and balance to making simple changes that make daily life safer and easier.
Falls avoidance is a particular passion of mine, because even one fall can have a big impact. My focus is on proactive, evidence-based strategies that help people stay steady, safe and confident, for as long as possible.
