About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings 20 years of practice and a calm, reflective style to sessions. Brett aims to help people understand what lies behind their feelings and behaviours so they can make clearer choices about their lives.
He uses an integrative approach that blends psychodynamic and humanistic ideas. That means he often helps people look at current problems while also considering early experiences and relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Brett has worked across health, education, social care, and charity settings. He has experience in senior clinical roles within the UK National Health Service, and he also offers coaching and leadership support to professionals and entrepreneurs.
This blend of clinical and organisational experience shapes a practical focus in sessions. He works in English and offers therapy to people living in the United Kingdom and internationally. Brett describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, so sessions are tailored to different communication styles and life experiences.
People come to him for a range of concerns, including low mood and stress, relationship and attachment patterns, grief and loss, addiction and compulsive behaviours, identity and self-esteem, and managing big life changes. He supports those exploring neurodiversity questions as well as people facing long-term health or caregiving challenges.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will talk with you about your concerns, goals and preferences and together you will choose or blend methods that feel most useful. He treats the process as collaborative and adjusts the approach as things evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you have face-to-face conversations from different locations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy or changing lives.
