Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a psychotherapist who combines integrative and psychodynamic ideas in his work. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has built two decades of experience supporting people through emotional struggles. Brett offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about identity, relationships and life transitions. He tends to look beyond symptoms to the patterns that shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions focus on what is happening now while also considering earlier experiences that continue to influence responses. Conversations are collaborative and reflective, with attention to how relationships and attachment affect everyday life. Brett uses a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming stance. That means he works at a pace set by the client and adapts to different communication styles and needs. He supports people who are exploring neurodivergent traits such as ADHD or autism, whether they have a diagnosis or are unsure. His clinical background includes years in senior roles within the UK National Health Service, where he worked across health, social care and education. That experience underpins his interest in work-related stress, burnout and leadership challenges, and he also brings coaching skills to those conversations. People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment issues, grief, addictions and challenges with self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and Brett works with clients from varied backgrounds, including international referrals. To begin a working relationship clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and acceptance to help build self-understanding and confidence. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, identity questions and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to suit the person's needs. That way sessions stay practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who accepts international clients and to continue therapy across moves or travel without losing momentum.
