Dear Friend Connections,

From warzones to boardrooms, I’ve spent 25+ years at the frontline of human resilience.

I’m Catherine Gallacher, BSc Hons, Senior Accredited Psychotherapist, Certified Empowerment Result Coach™, and founder of StepUpcmg™. My journey has taken me from driving ambulances into warzones to delivering executive coaching in boardrooms — two worlds that demand the same thing: courage, clarity, and resilience by design.

Today, I bring that experience to global audiences through my proprietary frameworks — Neural Sovereign™, Emotional Architecture™, and Design Your Neuro-Scaffolding™. These combine cutting-edge neuroscience with actionable strategies to help people move from stuck to empowered, from burnout to breakthrough.

My thought leadership has been featured in USA News, Brainz Magazine, and international platforms, and my book Empower Your Midlife reframes midlife as a launchpad for reinvention and growth.

🎙 Why your audience will care:

  • Real-world authority: Lessons drawn from humanitarian crises and corporate boardrooms.

  • 25+ years experience: A global perspective that blends science, compassion, and strategy.

  • Frameworks that work: Trademarked systems that create measurable transformation.
