About Us
Limitless Futures CIC was founded by Catherine and Hannah, driven by the belief that every young person has the potential to flourish and lead a fulfilling life. Having experienced an education and therapy system that limited opportunities for their own children, Limitless Futures was created to remove the barriers and provide young people and their families with support to realise and nurture their potential.
Meet the team
Catherine MSc APP
Catherine offers interactive coaching and mentoring programmes for young people with SEND and their families, experiencing challenges accessing school and social activities. She is passionate about sharing how the nervous system works, promoting self-compassion and exploring authentic purpose with a view of belonging rather than fitting in. During sessions Catherine helps to create a sense of empowerment, self-worth and motivation that can have a lasting positive affect for the individual and others, reducing anxiety and often enabling purposeful transitions and inspiring next steps.
Living in a neurodiverse household including a child with Down's Syndrome and Autism, Catherine has first-hand experience of the EHCP system, school trauma and education settings other than school. She has a deep empathy for the effect of seeking, receiving and living with diagnoses can have on whole family wellbeing. She fully understands that at times SEND parents can be so focused on their child, they put aside their own needs, not acknowledging the personal trauma experienced.
Catherine has a science and alternative therapy background, along with a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology. This results in theory driven, evidence-based sessions designed to fulfil our basic needs of competence, relatedness and autonomy. A former business director, she is also a trained creative trauma recovery mentor, youth mindfulness facilitator and breath coach. This is combined with lived experience ensures she tailors sessions to family and individual needs.
Hannah MSc MCSP
Hannah qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2002 and has worked in both NHS and private settings across Suffolk, Cambridge and London, mostly specialising in paediatric and adult musculoskeletal conditions. In 2018, her world changed when her third child was born with brain damage leading to Cerebral Palsy and complex needs. Six years on, she understands the complexities of a stretched healthcare system and the additional pressures of the EHCP system. She can empathise with the journey a family goes on when receiving a life-changing diagnosis and the knock-on effects this has on the whole family unit.
Hannah is passionate about providing all children and young people with the opportunity to grow, understand their world and be as independent as possible. During her physiotherapy career, she saw first-hand those struggling to manage day-to-day life skills and the relentless emotional cycle they were often living. In addition, being a Mum to her 4 children, she strongly believes all areas of development start with strong emotional wellbeing.
