Jan Bradley, PACFA

Jan Bradley brings a grounded, compassionate approach to counselling, drawing on experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem difficulties, and transitions in life. She is dual-credentialed in Australia as a counsellor and a mental health nurse and holds PACFA accreditation - the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia - which reflects professional training in therapeutic practice.

Working with people who face compassion fatigue, workplace bullying, or the specific strains of caregiving, chronic illness, or relationship breakdowns, she helps clients build practical coping strategies and emotional skills. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative approaches, psychodynamic perspectives, and trauma-focused interventions, which she adapts to fit each person’s needs.

Jan prioritizes creating an open atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be expressed without judgment, and she supports people through challenges such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, women's issues, workplace stress, and issues of guilt, shame, and forgiveness. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and aims to partner with clients to find practical pathways forward and greater self-understanding.
