Mrs Lora Bradford

Registered Psychotherapist

“Dedicated to helping individuals and couples resolve issues and concerns adversely affecting the quality of their lives.”

About Me

Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, affecting your daily peace and relationships. I offer a warm, confidential space for individuals and couples to explore what's truly affecting them. Together, we can gently unravelling complex concerns, gaining clarity and new perspectives. Sessions are tailored to your unique needs, helping you discover practical ways forward. This collaborative approach supports those ready to resolve issues and improve their overall quality of life.

Approach

Committed to restoring steadiness when life's pressures erode daily wellbeing, I work with individuals and couples to map patterns and moments that keep you stuck. In my Ottawa office or via secure online sessions in English, we move at a pace that feels manageable and practical. Sessions blend focused skill-building with gentle exploration of past influences, so you leave with clearer choices and small experiments between meetings. This way of working often helps those facing transitions, relationship strain, anxiety or burnout who want concrete relief and deeper understanding.
