Janette  McCulloch
Janette  trained as a mediator ten years ago with the London School of Psychotherapy. With a background in mediating neighbourhood disputes, these days most of her mediation work is in the workplace, and with young people caught up in the criminal justice system.

Janette has a particular interest in:
- Collaborative working between specialists and generalists, and in seeing how they can bring out the best in each other.

- Working with teams in conflict
