Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a counsellor with over 20 years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, thoughtful space to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and he works with people internationally.

Brett uses an integrative approach that brings together attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques when useful. He pays attention to everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behaviour, while also looking at the patterns that come from earlier experiences.

He often helps people coping with trauma, chronic stress, burnout and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as ADHD and autism. He also supports those facing grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem, intimacy and parenting pressures.

His background includes senior clinical roles in the UK National Health Service where he worked in clinical leadership and diagnostic pathways. That experience informs practical work with people in high-pressure jobs and those facing complex life changes.

Therapy with Brett aims to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Conversations blend present-day problem solving with exploration of patterns and relationships that influence thinking and everyday habits. He also offers coaching-style support for career and leadership challenges.

How his approach works in online therapy

Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions. It can help when someone struggles with intimacy, trust or recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own pace, helping people feel heard and better able to make changes. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and everyday habits and offer practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett treats therapy as collaborative and will help clients test different ways of working to see what suits their goals and style. Sessions can move between exploring deeper patterns and trying simple behavioural experiments, depending on what feels most useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people keep continuity when they are travelling or living abroad. The practical aim is to make therapy fit everyday life while keeping focus on thoughts, habits and the relational patterns that matter.
