About Jan
Jan Bradley is a PACFA counsellor with six years of clinical experience in Australia. She combines her background in counselling and mental health nursing to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges and coping with life changes.
Jan also works with compassion fatigue and workplace bullying. She helps people who are dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems, and the emotional fallout from divorce or separation. She lists many related concerns including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and women's issues.
In sessions Jan uses approaches that include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour strategies and mindfulness. Her style is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, naming emotions, and building small, usable skills.
She aims to make therapy straightforward. People can expect to talk about what is happening now, try out new ways of responding, and practise short exercises between sessions. Jan encourages clear, honest conversation about progress and setbacks.
Her combined clinical and lived experience informs how she responds to stress and trauma. Jan supports people as they work through painful experiences, rebuild trust in themselves, and develop routines that reduce overwhelm.

How Jan works with EFT and online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and how they shape relationship and behaviour patterns. It is often used when people get stuck in repetitive emotional responses or want clearer emotional connection in relationships.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive approach. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, panic and unhelpful thinking.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jan will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the approach based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods may be mixed to suit the issue you bring.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with Jan about what will work practically for you so sessions fit around work, family or health demands.
