Bradd Pullella, ACA

Bradd Pullella is a credentialed Australian therapist with 11 years of professional experience, offering focused support for people navigating relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and questions of identity. He holds an ACA credential, indicating membership with a recognised counselling association in Australia, and brings a calm, goal-oriented approach to his work.

Drawing on experience with LGBTIQA+ issues, self-esteem concerns, and a range of attachment and abandonment difficulties, Bradd works with individuals to explore patterns that affect their relationships and sense of self. He also supports people through the effects of abuse, complex grief, and the particular pressures facing men and those in non-monogamous or polyamorous relationships.

Bradd uses evidence-informed methods to help clients clarify their goals and develop practical strategies. He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and examined. Signing up for therapy can feel confronting, and he acknowledges that taking that step requires courage - he frames the work as a collaborative process focused on steady progress toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Bradd integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to tailor online sessions to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasises listening, empathy, and collaboration - it helps people feel understood while they explore their values, relationships, and identity. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) may also be used to address relationship patterns and attachment needs, helping partners or individuals understand and change emotional responses that keep them stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bradd works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. He adapts techniques over time to suit what is working and what needs adjustment.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to continue work during transitions, or to access help from home. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver meaningful, consistent care that supports progress over time.
