About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked in therapy for 20 years. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, depression and life changes. He also supports issues around identity, neurodiversity and work-related pressure.
Brett uses an integrative, psychodynamic approach. That means he pays attention to present difficulties and to earlier experiences that shape current feelings and reactions. Sessions are practical as well as reflective, looking at patterns in relationships and everyday coping.
He has considerable experience in health and social care settings, including senior clinical roles within the UK National Health Service. That background informs his work with people facing complex stress, chronic conditions and high-pressure jobs. He also brings experience in leadership coaching and organisational psychology for those balancing work responsibilities and wellbeing.
Brett describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. He works with people exploring ADHD or autism, whether suspected or already diagnosed, and adapts communication and pace to individual needs. He aims to address both immediate problems and the underlying dynamics that contribute to them.
Sessions are conducted in English and he works with clients from different countries. To begin, users complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. His practice combines thoughtful reflection with concrete steps for managing daily life and relationships.
How Brett’s approaches can work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect present connections and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues and recurrent patterns that cause distress.Client-centred therapy emphasises the person’s own experience and pace. It is about listening, reflecting and supporting a person to find their own answers, which can be helpful when sorting out identity, self-esteem or career decisions.
Cognitive behavioural techniques add practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These tools can be used alongside reflective work to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or manage day-to-day stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Brett will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as you go. That collaborative decision-making helps make sessions relevant and manageable.
If you plan to try sessions online, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel.
