About Brett
Brett Garcia is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma, depression and addiction. Sessions are conducted in English and he supports people from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, including some international clients.
Brett uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. He pays attention to current difficulties and to earlier experiences that influence patterns of feeling and behaviour. Meetings often look at how attachment and communication shape relationships and boundaries.
In practical terms Brett offers reflective conversations that examine how thoughts, emotions and habits interact. He will explore how people-pleasing, codependency and fear of abandonment affect day-to-day choices. Work can include noticing repeated patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building clearer personal limits.
He has a background in senior clinical leadership within UK health services and experience across social care, education and private practice. That background informs work with occupational stress and roles that involve high pressure and responsibility.
Brett describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. He supports people who are exploring identity, ADHD or autism, and those adjusting to life changes such as caregiving, illness or bereavement. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and the way people respond to closeness or distance. It helps when someone struggles with clinginess, fear of abandonment or repeating old relational patterns.Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive conversation. It concentrates on the person’s experience in the moment and supports clearer self-understanding and personal decision-making.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, people-pleasing habits and practical problem solving.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as sessions progress. That means you and the therapist decide together which ideas to use and when to change direction.
Details about session formats should be checked before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Confirm which formats are offered and how they fit into your routine. Online work can help fit sessions into busy days, make shorter check-ins easier, avoid travel time and allow conversations when people are overseas. Registered or accredited professionals can work in ways that suit quieter surroundings, reduced screen time, or brief practical coaching during a work break.
