About Jan
Jan Bradley is a PACFA counsellor with six years of professional experience in mental health roles. She combines prior clinical nursing work and counselling practice to help people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. She keeps things simple and direct in sessions to make starting counselling less daunting.
Jan aims for a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most. She listens for what drives strong feelings and helps people recognise patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps that can be tried between sessions. Her work addresses low self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life transitions. She also supports people dealing with workplace bullying, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and the emotional effects of pregnancy and childbirth.
Panic, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress are further areas she helps navigate. Jan blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional patterns, Client-Centred methods to follow the client’s lead, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and DBT skills for practical coping.
Mindfulness tools are offered to calm racing thoughts and rebuild focus. People who prefer clear, actionable steps and a caring, steady counsellor often find her approach helpful. Jan encourages small changes that add up over time and supports clients as they test new ways of coping.

Online support
Approaches that guide online counselling
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how strong emotions shape relationships with oneself and others. It helps people notice patterns in emotional responses and learn gentler ways to respond to inner distress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client’s lead. The counsellor reflects what is said and offers acceptance so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with simple exercises. It suits people wanting concrete skills for anxiety, panic or workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will discuss options and tailor methods to personal goals, preferences and what feels most useful. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and share longer conversations. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick reflections, writing things out, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
