About Me
Hi there! I’m Mary Bradley, and I’m passionate about helping people find calm and resilience in the face of life’s demands.
Over a decade in the classroom as a secondary school teacher showed me how stress and anxiety can impact even the most dedicated students. I saw bright, hardworking young people freeze up during exams, unable to perform at their best. That experience ignited a drive in me to help others learn how to manage pressure, not be overcome by it.
My journey has led me to gain a range of qualifications, from mindfulness and meditation to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I’m now working toward a Master’s in the Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing. It’s important to me that everything I teach is evidence-based. There’s a lot of information out there on wellbeing, some of it great, and some of it not so much—so I focus on sharing techniques that are grounded in research and truly make a difference.
Helping People Thrive in Every Setting
Today, I work with students, educators, corporate teams, and parents, delivering workshops and sessions that help people feel more in control, resilient, and capable.
I tailor each session to meet the specific needs of the group, whether it’s a school assembly, a workplace seminar, or an online workshop for parents and teens.
My aim is for everyone to leave feeling empowered and equipped with simple strategies they can rely on in moments of pressure, whether it’s during exams, a big presentation, or even a nerve-wracking driving test!
A Practical and Compassionate Approach
As a teacher, I know the importance of making learning engaging, accessible, and practical. I bring that same approach to my wellbeing sessions, keeping things adaptable and hands-on so that people can find what works best for them.
I combine CBT, mindfulness, and other techniques to give clients a toolkit they can apply right away, helping them to not just manage stress but actually thrive through it.
Core Values of Understanding, Empowerment, and Compassion
In all my work, I’m driven by a desire to educate, empower, and support. I believe that with the right tools, everyone has the potential to tap into their own resilience and push through life’s pressures to achieve the outcomes they want.
My goal is to help people feel confident, capable, and prepared to face whatever comes their way, knowing they have the skills to stay grounded and focused.
