Joanna’s career began in adolescent mental health services and moved on to teaching A-Level Psychology. An MSc in Health Education/Health Promotion led to a career change to the Department of Health, running national initiatives to improve children’s health and well-being. Joanna then worked as part of the Healthy Schools Programme teams in Surrey and Reading.

Since self-employment in 2011, Joanna has concentrated on promoting PSHE, well-being and health in schools and other organisations, focusing on training, consultancy and writing resources.

She runs a well-being and fitness business and is an enthusiastic trainer, specialising in assertiveness skills and solution-focused thinking.
