About Brett
Brett Garcia offers a client-centred way of working that draws on attachment ideas and cognitive approaches. He combines these to help people tackle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Brett uses clear, practical conversations to support change and understanding.
He has 20 years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now, while paying attention to patterns that come from earlier life experiences. Therapy with Brett is collaborative. He listens for recurring themes in relationships and behaviour.
Then he helps people notice and try different ways of responding. That might include thinking about thoughts and beliefs, or exploring attachment and life meaning. Brett also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy and parenting concerns.
He supports people dealing with career pressures, burnout and compassion fatigue. Neurodiversity and ADHD are acknowledged as part of a person’s story when relevant. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Motivational Interviewing among other approaches.
Sessions aim to be thoughtful and practical, giving steps people can use between meetings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches so therapy fits the issue and the person’s style.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins and written reflection. These options help people fit sessions around work, family or travel and make ongoing contact easier for many.
