Andrea Bradley-Davies

Andrea Bradley-DaviesDebra GoldstonAndrea began her career working with children and young people, supporting families and promoting the care and education of youngsters. For some years Andrea specialised in working with children’s whose developmental progress, social skills or behaviour presented particular challenges. She enjoyed particular success in working with children whose developmental delay lead to problem behaviour in the classroom.

Young people often require support and assistance to fully achieve their potential and respond to the challenges of growing up. Andrea has worked extensively with young people individually and in groups and was particularly successful in assisting them to feel more confident and achieve improved academic results.

Andrea trained as a Counsellor and used those skills in a range of settings, eventually teaching counselling skills to others during her time as a College Lecturer. During the early years of work in Counselling Andrea worked with women experiencing domestic violence and those particularly young women affected by substance abuse.

The work Andrea has been involved in eventually led to her establishing a small consultancy in childcare and development and for many years this ran alongside Andrea’s fulltime work in management, training and education. Her work as a counsellor took a back seat while she expanded her skills and concentrated on a full time career.

As well as her therapy qualifications Andrea holds an honours Degree in Sociology, Social policy and Women’s Studies and JNC registered diploma qualification in Youth work (Post grad).

Andrea’s full time work over the last 15 years included a lecturing post At Dudley College where for a number of years Andrea headed up the Health and Social Care team, teaching Childcare and Education, Sociology, Anatomy and Physiology, Communication skills. Counselling, Social policy and a range of other subjects. In particular Andrea specialised in working with young people who had learning disabilities or challenging behaviour.

Her most recent full time post was as the Chief executive of Walsall Council for Voluntary Service’s; which she completely transformed into a forward thinking and successful charity with the new name of Walsall Voluntary Action. After 6 years at WVA and following considerable personal and organisational success Andrea gave up this role and now focuses her time on her Clinical Hypnotherapy and Coaching practice based in Darlaston in the Black Country.

Andrea began studying hypnosis and NLP in 2002, while still in full time employment and first qualified in 2005. She continues to engage in professional development activities and has studied a number of other subjects directly relevant to her work as a clinical hypnotherapist. These other subjects include; Coaching with NLP, Transactional Analysis, Emotional Freedom Technique and Bilateral Stimulation Therapy and Aromatherapy.
