About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor with twenty years' experience who works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Brett aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and make sense of difficult feelings.
Brett uses an integrative method that blends psychodynamic ideas with humanistic ways of working. That means sessions can look at current problems while also considering past experiences that shape responses today. He explains things plainly and helps people spot patterns in feelings and behaviour.
He has worked across the UK National Health Service in senior clinical roles and has experience with neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism. Brett also draws on experience supporting professionals in high-pressure roles and those facing career or leadership transitions.
His approach is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. Sessions are adapted to each person's pace and communication style, with attention to safety and choice. He also offers coaching-style support for people wanting practical help with decisions or work challenges.
Brett works internationally and conducts therapy in English. People reach out for help with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, and coping with long-term illness or chronic pain.
How Brett adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Many of Brett's methods translate well to online settings. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings; this helps when tackling intimacy issues, relationship difficulties and attachment concerns. Client-centred therapy foregrounds the person's experience and preferences, so sessions emphasise listening, empathy and pacing to suit each person's style. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Brett works collaboratively to decide which methods to use and adapts them to your goals, communication style and what feels manageable. That means techniques may change over time as priorities and needs shift.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that suit quieter or lower-bandwidth situations. It also makes it simpler to work with international clients and people balancing work, care or travel commitments.
