About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor who combines a reflective, relational approach with practical strategies. He draws on 20 years of experience to help people talk through anxiety, stress, relationship and identity concerns. Brett offers therapy in English and works with people from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.
Brett uses methods that look at current patterns and earlier life experiences. Sessions focus on understanding how past events shape present feelings and choices.
Background and approach
This helps people see repeated patterns and try different ways of responding. He uses client-centred listening to ensure each person feels heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical tools are helpful for mood, sleep, or worrying thoughts.
Attachment-based ideas are brought in to address intimacy, communication and connection issues. Brett has spent many years in clinical and leadership roles within UK health services. That background informs work with people in high-pressure jobs and those coping with burnout or caregiving stress.
He also brings experience supporting people exploring neurodiversity and grief. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approach and online therapy options
Brett commonly uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where each person sets the pace and agenda. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while they sort through feelings and decisions.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which offers clear techniques to manage mood, sleep or anxious thinking. CBT is useful when someone wants practical steps to change unhelpful patterns alongside reflective work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Brett works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences, adjusting as therapy progresses so the plan fits what is helpful in practice.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between conversations and can be easier to fit around work or caregiving commitments.
These online options make therapy more flexible and accessible for people living abroad, those with busy schedules, or anyone who prefers not to travel to appointments. Registered and accredited professionals can work this way to offer continuity and a range of practical tools across different formats.
