Hi, my name is Joanna Oliver and I have a rich and diverse professional and educational background, in a range of sectors including universities, charities, parent support groups, social care and therapeutic communities, underpinned by a degree in Advertising, Media and Marketing, a Masters degree in Therapeutic Child Care and a Masters degree in Education. As a lecturer, I taught on a BA (hons) programme in Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring (amongst others) and I also hold professional qualifications in vocational assessment, supervision and FE teaching. I have developed a range of therapeutic mentoring programmes, mainly related to personal and professional growth and development, including Grow Free From Shackles, Grow Your Colours, Working with What’s in Your Hands and Ditching the Clock.  Each of these are intended to help participants to grow in their authenticity, drawing on inner resources that are often hidden under layers created in life, through fear, through expectations from others and sometimes as a means to survive and navigate the challenges that life presents. Choose the programme that best meets you where you are now and enjoy a life that reflects your true self.
