Janeen Achtar

Biography

Janeen is a highly motivated mediator with over 15 years of experience of teaching law, with the last five years teaching commercial mediation.

Her approach to mediation is mainly facilitative. Janeen encourages the parties to explore their interests and not become entrenched in positions; however, she can also lead an evaluative mediation.

Janeen is relaxed and easily approachable, with excellent knowledge of mediation theories and techniques. She is highly adaptable and not easily flustered when dealing with emotionally charged situations. As an academic she is used to taking charge of the room while ensuring the self-determination and confidence of the participants, and winning their trust.

Her academic background and training in psychology allow her to identify and manage barriers and emotions quickly. Intuitively she is able to offer new perspectives and avenues to participants which focus on the wider interests of the parties and not just the present dispute, and she is keen to keep working with parties until a resolution is reached.
