Clinical Experience
Bradley began his career in 2014, working within specialist neurorehabilitation services across University College London Hospitals and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, supporting individuals adjusting to the psychological impact of acquired brain injury, neurological conditions and complex health needs.
He later worked within community and specialist mental health services supporting people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties. These experiences deepened his understanding of the importance of formulation-led, trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches to care.
Alongside direct clinical practice, Bradley increasingly became involved in service development, quality improvement and leadership, bringing psychological thinking to the design and delivery of complex healthcare services.
Clinical Leadership
As Clinical Director of Lumina, Bradley provides active oversight of the standards that shape clinician selection, specialist matching, governance and professional development.
Rather than simply maintaining a directory of independent clinicians, Lumina has been designed around a community model, bringing together carefully selected associates with access to peer support, consultation and senior clinical leadership.
This approach reflects Bradley's belief that high-quality psychological care requires more than individual expertise. It also depends upon clear standards, reflective practice and systems that support consistency, safety and excellence across every stage of a client's journey.

Approach
What continues to shape his work
Effective psychological care begins with understanding the person, not simply the problem.
Throughout his career, Bradley has remained guided by a belief that effective psychological care begins with understanding the person, not simply the problem.
His approach combines formulation-driven, trauma-informed and evidence-based practice, recognising that psychological difficulties are best understood within the context of an individual's experiences, relationships, circumstances and values. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, Bradley believes good psychological care should help people move towards the life they want to live by addressing the barriers that stand in their way.
Central to this approach is the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance. Whether working directly with individuals, supporting clinicians or leading services, Bradley places significant emphasis on creating psychological safety, building trust and developing a deep understanding of each person's unique experience.
His professional philosophy has also been shaped by a concern that people may seek support during periods of vulnerability and receive care that is poorly matched to their needs, delivered without sufficient expertise, or disconnected from evidence-based practice.
