Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a counsellor with two decades of experience who combines depth work with practical support. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Brett creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, relationships, identity and midlife changes.

Brett uses a collaborative style that helps people notice patterns in their feelings and behaviour. He balances understanding early life experiences with addressing present-day difficulties. Conversations are grounded and aimed at making daily life more manageable.

His background includes senior clinical leadership roles in the UK National Health Service, and he has worked across social care, education, health and private practice. That experience informs an approach that is practical and aware of workplace pressures and complex systems.

Brett works in an inclusive, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming way. He supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains, addiction concerns, ADHD and autism-related challenges. He also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life transitions.

Outside of clinical work he has contributed to research, training and charity governance, and he mentors people starting businesses. He works with international clients and conducts all sessions in English. To begin, clients use the site process to match and book a time with him.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and early bonds. It helps people understand how those patterns shape trust, closeness and conflict in adult life, which can be useful when navigating midlife relationship shifts.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens with curiosity and offers responses that help people clarify values, goals and next steps when life feels uncertain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what needs changing.

For practicalities, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work or family commitments, and remove travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and for options that don’t require being on camera if that suits someone better.
