About Jan
Jan Bradley is a counsellor with PACFA accreditation and six years of professional experience. She has worked as both a counsellor and a mental health nurse in Australia and draws on that combined background when supporting people through stress and anxiety. Jan listens first and helps people name what feels overwhelming.
She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Conversations are kept straightforward so a worried parent can follow and act on them.
Background and approach
Her work commonly addresses trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Jan also supports people experiencing compassion fatigue, workplace bullying and panic attacks. She pays attention to how physical illness or chronic pain can affect mood and daily coping.
Sessions are collaborative. Jan aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She uses a mix of approaches that suit the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Jan will help identify small, realistic goals and practical tools to reduce stress and build confidence. She encourages people to try techniques between sessions and to return to what works. Taking the first step can be hard, and Jan acknowledges the courage it takes to start therapy.
Her clinical background includes work with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, forgiveness and guilt, social anxiety, and workplace issues. Jan offers sessions in English and practises across a range of everyday life challenges.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make sense of stress, life changes or trauma. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxious or unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, includes skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal communication, which can be useful for panic, intense anxiety and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest an approach or mix of approaches. This is a collaborative process and can change as people make progress or face new challenges.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in and text-based messaging lets people share thoughts in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and medical appointments, and support consistent follow-up between sessions.
