Brett Garcia, BACP

Brett Garcia is a psychotherapist with two decades of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, thoughtful space where people can talk about stress, relationships, identity, grief, addictions, and jealousy. Brett works in English and sees clients from different countries and backgrounds.

Brett uses an integrative, psychodynamic approach that looks at both current problems and earlier life patterns. He helps people notice recurring relationship styles and attachment patterns that affect daily life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

He also draws on client-centred ideas to keep conversations focused on what matters to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps can help with mood, sleep, or coping strategies. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or struggling with addictive behaviour.

Brett has worked for many years in the UK National Health Service in senior clinical roles, and in social care, education and independent practice. That experience informs his work with people in high-pressure jobs and with those coping with chronic health or caregiving pressures.

He describes his practice as trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming, and tailors therapy to each person’s communication style. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches fit with online therapy

Brett uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current struggles. This helps when people want to understand patterns in trust, closeness and jealousy. He also works in a client-centred way that keeps the focus on the person’s concerns and priorities, making sessions feel guided by the client’s pace and goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps can help, for example with sleep, anxiety, or building new routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means the plan can change as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, cutting out travel time, and making it easier to check in from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt methods to suit remote conversations, for example using shorter check-ins or practical CBT exercises that are easy to work on between sessions.
