About Brett Garcia
Brett Garcia is an integrative and psychodynamic psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and professionals. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and offers a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges, relationships, identity, and life transitions.
His work is collaborative and reflective, attending both to present difficulties and the earlier experiences or unconscious processes that shape feelings, behaviour, and self-understanding. Brett draws on integrative, psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and humanistic ideas to help people identify patterns and make sense of how they respond to the world. He uses a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and inclusive approach, tailoring therapy to individual needs and communication styles.
Brett has specialist clinical training in diagnosing Autism in children and adults and extensive experience supporting neurodiverse clients, people with ADHD, and those managing complex trauma, chronic stress, and work-related pressure. For more than a decade he held senior clinical roles within the UK National Health Service, including Senior Clinical Specialist and Clinical Lead positions, and has worked across social care, education, health services, and private practice.
Alongside therapeutic work, Brett has experience in executive coaching, leadership development, and organisational psychology, supporting founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals navigating responsibility, decision-making, and workplace challenges. He also contributes to research, training, and community initiatives, and welcomes international clients and people from diverse or high-pressure backgrounds who are seeking depth, clarity, and practical support.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support
Brett Garcia integrates approaches that help people make practical and emotional changes in online therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships, exploring how early bonds shape trust, intimacy, and reactions to stress; it can be helpful for relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can explore identity, self-esteem, and life choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is structured and goal-oriented, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop new coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is decided collaboratively. Brett works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and may blend methods to create a tailored plan that fits each person’s situation.
Online sessions using video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, enable access across locations, and make it easier to continue care during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to work with clients in ways that suit their daily life while maintaining a consistent, focused therapeutic process.
