Jan BradleyPACFA

Jan Bradley is a counsellor with PACFA credentialing and six years of professional experience in Australia. She began her career combining clinical nursing and counselling roles, bringing lived experience and practical skills to her sessions. Jan focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and trauma while building confidence and coping strategies.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Jan recognises that starting therapy takes courage and she treats that step as important work in itself.

Jan uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used for practical steps to reduce anxiety and manage panic. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills help with emotion regulation and tolerance of difficult moments.

She also integrates mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused techniques when helpful for relationships with self and others. Jan often works with people experiencing compassion fatigue, workplace stress, chronic illness, or major life changes. Pregnancy and childbirth are listed among areas she can address, particularly where stress or emotional strain is present.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the person. Jan helps clients identify small, achievable changes and build skills to cope day to day. Her approach is collaborative, respectful and grounded in real-life concerns.

How Jan's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and building a trusting space. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through what matters to them and set the agenda for each meeting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes. Delivered remotely, CBT can use worksheets, activity planning and short between-session tasks to reduce anxiety and panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then tailor sessions from the available methods. That means collaborating on whether to emphasise skills training, emotional processing or mindfulness exercises during online meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins, using audio rather than video when needed, or scheduling around maternity appointments and medical care. These practical benefits help therapy sit alongside everyday life rather than replace it.
