Training, Qualifications & Experience
Hi! I am Yasmine Janjua, the founder and sole owner of Guiding Life. I thought it would only be fair to share a little bit about my 10 years experience within the social services field, which includes experiences in Canada, Ireland and England.
It all started with the completion of a law and a youth work college qualification from Canada. My first placement was in a residential program for teenage girls. Recognizing my talents for engaging with teenagers, I moved on to work full time with adolescents in a mental health residential treatment group home.
After a few years, I decided to move across the great Atlantic pond to Ireland, where I assisted with the development of an adolescent secure treatment facility. Having an appreciation for the cultural experience, I also learned that I don't work well within a secure setting and so with Itchy feet striking again
I moved on to England, where I managed the development and implementation of a pilot ISSP youth justice initiative in East London. Being able to manage a team of youth justice officers and the project itself was a challenge to meet, but not as gratifying as the challenge of working with young people direct and so I moved onto the Connexions Services initiative with a West London local government youth service. Recognizing the need for growth, I completed the Connexions Personal Advisor Diploma from Brunel University and my Life Coaching Certificate from Newcastle College. I was also 
afforded opportunities to incorporate many of my interests in sports and outdoor activities to my work with young people. I gained valuable training and experiences leading youth groups on camping expeditions and other outdoor activities.
Guiding Life provides a high level of quality service, offering intensive advisory services to youth, families, local education authority/schools, social services/child protection and other community organizations. We are able to maintain our high quality service through retaining full membership in good standing with the Association for Coaching and continuous professional development through further training and certifications.
