Dr. Elizabeth Bradley

Elizabeth has been a Registered Clinical Counsellor since arriving in Canada in 2019. Originally from the UK, Elizabeth completed her training in clinical psychology and psychotherapy. She also holds a master’s degree and other further training in cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and cognitive analytic therapy.

She offers one to one, client-centred therapy for adults struggling with any aspect of their emotional wellbeing. She practices interpersonal styles of therapy, working in an integrated, evidence based and flexible way. Issues Elizabeth works on include anxiety, depression, trauma or loss, long term pain, anger and interpersonal issues. She also has specialist level experience in working with low self esteem, body image issues, and diagnoses of personality disorders. She is passionate about supporting those who are facing infertility journeys, in any stage, as well as the grief of pregnancy and infant loss.

Being from a working class background in England, Elizabeth has navigated building a new family life here and appreciates life transitions and all they can unearth in us emotionally. She is an intersectional feminist who is passionate about providing a warm and nuanced space for people of all sexualities and gender identities, living in all styles of relationships. Her training in systemic theory helps her to explore how the cultures and societies in our backgrounds and immediate lives influence our distress.
Her work has held special meaning for her and she richly enjoys working with people to help them make links between their early experiences or relationships, and their present difficulties. This style aims to break old cycles or patterns and help people let go of emotional pain and achieve their own personal goals. Elizabeth firmly believes that people are the experts in their own experiences and have their own inherently valuable ideas on what will work best for them. She endeavours to provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic space because the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful element in therapy, to help people find answers to their questions, make sense of their lives or make changes in ways that feel right for them.

Note: Clients can book consults directly online. Counselling sessions (online and in-person) are booked by Elizabeth. She can be reached at elizabethbradley@waypointcounselling.ca.
