About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has over 20 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and other difficulties listed in his profile. Sessions are conducted in English and he works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Brett focuses on understanding how past experiences and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. He uses an integrative approach, mixing psychodynamic ideas with humanistic and pragmatic methods. In practice this means looking at patterns that repeat and talking through what happens in everyday life.
In sessions Brett aims for a collaborative style. He pays attention to attachment and how it affects relationships. He also draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours when helpful.
He has a long history working in high-pressure settings, including senior clinical roles in the UK National Health Service. That background informs work with workplace stress, leadership strain, and professionals in demanding roles.
Brett also works with neurodiverse clients, including people exploring ADHD and autism, and uses a trauma-informed approach that respects pacing and choice. Outside clinical work he has been involved in research, training and community initiatives that support mental health and leadership.

How his approaches work for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships affect how someone connects, trusts and responds to others. It can help people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who find closeness difficult.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The therapist reflects what is said and supports people to find their own answers, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem and identity questions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties when structured exercises are helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brett will help a client decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as issues evolve.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals on the site can discuss practical arrangements and how remote sessions might fit into everyday life.
