Media Testimonials:
Tony Stubley TV Director: Made a Commercial Using Dr Jan and said:
It is very rare for a shoot to go so well and I put that down more to your professionalism than anything else. It’s a pleasure working with you and I hope we have many occasions in the future to work together again.
Adam, Print Journalist said:
I am doing a story and needed some quotes from a psychologist who has insight and a sense of humour – naturally I thought of you!
I think it’s because your opinions sound definite, aren’t heavily qualified and are put in “everyday” language.
Jeremy, Media Student said:
As for The Glasshouse, it was excellent. You rocked!
Seriously, for a non-comedian, you could hardly have done a better job.
Bryan Cockerill, Executive Producer “Tough Nuts – Australia’s Hardest Criminals” said:
It was a pleasure working with Dr Janet Hall on Tough Nuts – Australia’s Hardest Criminals. Throughout the series, Janet was able to delve into the minds and deeds of Australia’s Hardest Criminals and deliver this fascinating analysis on camera in an intelligent and engaging manner
