Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a counsellor with 20 years' experience who uses an integrative, reflective approach. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Brett also supports those managing life changes and identity questions, including issues related to ageing and geriatric concerns.

Brett's practice is collaborative and down-to-earth. He helps people spot patterns in how they respond to stress and relationships. Sessions focus on what is happening now while also looking at earlier experiences that shape feelings and behaviour.

He draws on attachment-based thinking and client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and motivational interviewing. That mix lets him tailor sessions to practical problems as well as deeper emotional material. Conversations can include thinking about values, daily habits, and clearer communication.

Brett has worked across the UK health sector in senior clinical roles and brings that organisational and leadership experience into work with professionals and caregivers. He also has experience with neurodiversity, including clients exploring ADHD or autism, and with trauma-informed practice.

Sessions are conducted in English and Brett works with people from different countries. He aims to offer a thoughtful, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings, build coping strategies, and consider changes they want to make.

How Brett’s approaches translate to online therapy

Brett commonly uses attachment-based ways of thinking, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connections influence present feelings and behaviour. Client-centred therapy relies on empathic listening and supporting people to find their own answers and strengths. Cognitive behavioural approaches look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and use practical steps to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Brett will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions around that. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help when managing work, caregiving, or relocation. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to match session length and frequency to fit daily routines and therapeutic aims.
