Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings 20 years of practice to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and relationship difficulties. He works in English and accepts clients internationally.

Brett uses a reflective, person-centred style that looks at what is happening now and how past experiences shape responses. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. He aims to make therapy practical and understandable rather than full of jargon.

His background includes senior clinical roles in the UK National Health Service, where he supported clinical teams and worked in leadership. That experience informs how he helps people deal with workplace pressure, burnout and complex roles. He also offers coaching for people balancing emotional wellbeing with professional demands.

Brett works in a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming way and supports people exploring ADHD or autism whether diagnosed or suspected. He pays attention to communication differences and adapts his approach to individual needs and preferences.

Common areas Brett addresses include low mood, addictions, grief, parenting strain, intimacy and self-esteem. He also helps with practical life transitions, career questions and coping with chronic illness or pain. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication and building coping strategies.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Brett’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and closeness now; online sessions can help spot patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises empathy and collaboration to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes international appointments possible and can help people continue care during life transitions. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods for remote sessions to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday improvements.
