About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor who combines relational and practical approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work. Brett aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where individuals can talk about stress, relationships, identity and life changes.
Brett uses a blend of attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural tools. Sessions focus on what is happening now while also looking at patterns shaped by earlier experiences. He pays attention to how relationships and attachment affect day-to-day coping and emotional responses.
His background includes senior clinical roles within the UK National Health Service, where he worked in leadership and specialist posts. That experience informs his support for people dealing with high-pressure roles, burnout and work-related stress. He also draws on work across social care, education, health and private practice.
Brett describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. He works with adults on matters such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, parenting strain, and adoption and foster care concerns. Therapy is shaped to the person’s communication style and goals.
He works internationally and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy route, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Brett’s methods translate to online therapy
Brett commonly draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches, plus cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help with relationship problems and attachment concerns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building understanding so the person feels heard and can explore identity, self-esteem and life choices. Cognitive behavioural strategies offer practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours for anxiety, sleep or mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brett treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and communication style. He adjusts pace and focus based on what you need and how you prefer to work.
Session options are not detailed here, so please confirm current formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to support continuity of care and to help people maintain progress between sessions.
